"Please take care not to over-use your Label-Maker. Prolonged and indiscriminate use will cause the labels produced to become blurry and incoherent, and eventually unrecognizable as anything remotely resembling coherent thought.

The aforesaid unsatisfactory results are most often caused by attempting to produce labels that include shop-worn phrases like worthless sorry-ass conservative, Third Way, MIC buttkissing bullshit, etc., over ... and over ... and over ... and over ... and over again.

If you are concerned about possible over-use of your Label-Maker, please consult the Stale Rhetoric, Cliche Talking Points & All-Around BS-Spewing Nonsense portion of our instruction manual.

But we do thank you for choosing the original Label-Maker (TM) for all of your political message board needs. When used correctly, it can often be utilized to deflect attention away from the fact that you don't know what you're talking about, and can often be perceived as a valid substitute for having something of substance to contribute to the conversation."
