“Obama draws their petty ire because the man is a market player. He’s lived their core narrative so well as to come to dominate them. He was man of limited means and a broken family. He was hindered by a society that discriminated on race and not only earned himself a first-class education but won a state and national senatorial seat and then was elected President of the United States, at age 47. Sixty-nine million people decided he was the person most fit to lead, over a field of old-guard powers and established brands. It’s no overstatement to suggest he represents the apotheosis of the compelling leader and self-made man, the character conservatives portray in their welfare theater, the person who has a natural right to determine the future of a nation.”
AFTER. EVERY. FUCKING. MEAL.
(click to biggify. IF YOU DARE!)
This makes me miss my beard so fucking bad …
So this is old, but new to me. Funny shit from Asheville, NC, circa 2008. Someone vandalized a GOP billboard, but don’t worry because then GOP Vice-Chair Rick Jenkins was on the scene!
“I have a friend who was in charge of the gang-crime unit for L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. I sat under him, I’ve studied graffiti,” Jenkins said. “This is a white male that did this. It’s legible, it’s in one color and therefore you can tell. You would mark out a Hispanic that did this because the Hispanics that do graffiti, it’s very colorful [and] there’s a lot of symbols because of the broken English. You’d rule out a woman because a woman doesn’t do straight up stick-writing — it would have some kind of artistic flair. Chances are you’ve got a white man that’s done this.”
I highly, HIGHLY recommend you check out the link because it includes a link to a YouTube video of Jenkins delivering the above quote. As you might have guessed, he is country as a damn turnip green and his accent delivering the above really seals the comedy deal.
Oh. Jenkin’s good buddy is now the head of the local GOP. Awesome. He wants to drive out the liberals and RINOs because they hate the freedom of religion and his ability to pray to the one, true God, who is Christian, at government functions.Also, Liberals have been running North Carolina for 100 years. Tru fax.

We got an e-mail today saying that our blog is one year old today. Upon further reflection, we didn’t actually start posting until the day after the blog was established. Because we’re nothing if not slackers. So hurray us, I suppose. We’ve gotten away from the childish attacks on one another that helped inspire this venture, for the most part, but I suppose that’s to be expected. We’ve been hitting something akin to maturity in each of our lives in the past year. I’m not sure it really makes for entertaining reading, but whatever. The driving force behind this was to enjoy e-banter with two of my brothers. And I’d say we’ve had some success on that front.
So thanks, guys! Group-hug.

So the Heels are gonna square off against some copy-cat, wanna-be university next week in MSG.
Ram mascot?
Check.
Powder Blue-and-White?
Check.
But something feels wrong here. Sure, at first it appears to be the same thing, but upon closer inspection its just a check knock-off. So I say, go for the original. Sure it may cost a bit more, like those $8,000 jeans that Preston wears, but there’s just something to be said for quality.
Yep. That feels much better.

Mana Bar opened its doors to the public this past week on March 19. The finished bar looks amazing from the pictures and updates from the facebook page. It makes me wish I could at least visit Australia within the near future.
A recap, if you haven’t heard of the Mana Bar yet. Gentlemen Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg, Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw, Pras Moorthy, and Shay Leighton have recently opened a video game bar in Brisbane, Australia. You can go, play video games and drink custom cocktails, like a “Breath of Fire.”
Events are held often, ranging from trivia to trying to beat Yahtzee in Guitar Hero. Cosplay doesn’t seem uncommon in the bar and good times look to be had by all. Seriously, this place is a dream to me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck it, Preston. Dey took yur job!
