5 friends uncensored

I was told to send this to 5 friends, and since I don't have any friends I thought I would just post it on here.



Some of it is funny, and it mentions Halo.

Thoughts?

I know, no one wants to get in to politics on this blog. I only know the political views of a select few of the KofC contingency. But I watched the RNC last night basically from 5pm to midnight last night. And I wanted to get some of your opinions. I watched Palin's speech and it's clear she is a great speaker, and a "pit bull with lipstick."

I don't know if any of you watched it but here are a few excerpts:

Our son, Track, is 19. And one week from tomorrow, September 11, he'll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.

Possibly illegal to release deployment dates of troops, or she is lying to remind us of 9/11.

I guess -- I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities.

At the time Obama was being a lowly community organizer, Palin was taking on the "actual" responsibilities, of being a sports reporter for a local news station and working at a car wash.

I told the Congress, "Thanks, but no thanks," on that Bridge to Nowhere.

After you ran your campaign on the platform of building the bridge, saying the term "Bridge to Nowhere" was insulting to the people that lived in "Nowhere",went to the town the bridge was going to be built and told them that it was necessary to their economy. You then accepted the money from the federal government that was meant for the bridge, and never built it.

That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are open, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.

Do you mean the pipeline, built and maintained by Canadians?

Americans, we need to produce more of our own oil and gas. And... And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: We've got lots of both.

The oil that will take over decade to get to our gas tanks, reduce the price of gas by mere cents and will run out in an estimated 10 years.

Our opponents say again and again that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems, as if we didn't know that already.

Totally. As if.

Al Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America, and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights.

Yes, don't read them there rights, throw them in a POW camp for a few years. Then they can run for president once they get out.

Government is too big; he wants to grow it. Congress spends too much money; he promises more. Taxes are too high, and he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan.

And let me be specific: The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, and raise payroll taxes, and raise investment income taxes, and raise the death tax, and raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Yes, very specific. He must want to raise ALL income taxes, ALL payroll taxes, ALL investment taxes etc. I mean you didn't say anything about shifting the tax burden away from middle to lower class, and you said you were being specific so I believe everything you said is exactly true.

My sister, Heather, and her husband, they just built a service station that's now open for business, like millions of others who run small businesses. How are they... How are they going to be better off if taxes go up?

Well unless your sister makes a few million with her service station, I don't think it will affect her.

I could go on and on with some of it. I neglected to mention all the POW talk just because I don't think I could add anything to new to it.



Best Daily Show Clip Yet.

Super Tuesday Recap

Super Tuesday was yesterday and Looks like McCain is going to win the Republican Nomination. All I can say is thank God Huckabee didn't win any more delegates than he did. As for the Dems, it's neck and neck with Hillary and Obama. I don't want to get overly political on the blog as we have a wide spectrum of races, religions and socio-economic statuses in our clan (Adeclipse is a devout African-American Scientologist right?), but I am wondering if anyone thinks the Knights of Cydonia should endorse a candidate? The KofC has a lot of sway in the internet community rivaling only that of Oprah. We could be like some newspapers and endorse two candidates, one from each party. Now that we know the M16 pwns, I am thinking of putting an anonymous poll on the right side just to gauge the KofC constituency.

In case you have been living in your basement for the last 5 years (which is possible with some of the members) I will break down the favorite video games of some of the major candidates and give a short bit of background information so you can be well educated when you step into the polling booth.

Republicans:
Mike Huckabee: Guitar Hero II
John McCain: Battlefield Vietnam
Ron Paul: The Sex Scene in Mass Effect

Democrats:
Barack Obama: Parappa the Rapa
Hillary Clinton: Dr. Daisy Pet Vet

Anyways, one of the issues that some of the GOPs and a few Dems have been backing is the removal of the Internal Revenue Service in favor of a Consumption Tax or a "Fair Tax." Obviously to many the idea of not having to file returns or risk being audited sounds good to most Americans who don't know much about it, but I was wondering what the well educated Knights of Cydonia Community have to say about it. I won't tell you how I feel about a tax system developed by a radio talk show host, but my response usually starts off with "No fucking way..."

Now you know how little I have to say today that I resorted to talking about Super Tuesday and the FairTax. So let's get some good discussion going in the comments about something besides set widths. Or if anyone has anything good to post about please do.

Couple Quick Links:
After second thought the smoke and light show for RockBand doesn't look that cool.

Watch the Giant's final drive from someone at the Super Bowl in the middle of a bunch of Pats fans. The quality is surprisingly good from being with a camcorder about 100 feet up. It's fun to see the Patriots fans cheering during all the close plays when they thought they had it won.

Apologies to Adeclipse
Last night some things were said about Adeclipse love of crouching and prone. At one point things go so heated when we said that there you get 1k EXP points if you complete the Adeclipse challenge of crawling a hundred miles. At that point he said that he wanted to join his own clan. I want to apologize to you, Adeclipse. Please don't join your own clan stay with the KofC. We need your creeping skills.
