Nah I wore out Radiohead in college. Now it's Franz Ferdinand and System of a Down.


Franz Ferdinand does indeed rule; but for sheer, word-weary angst, I prefer my wail of Thom Yorke.

Quote from: LMNO
The division was so sharp, and so even, that there can only be one solution:

The blue states cede from the red.  We get The Northeast, California & Hawaii.  Y'all motherfuckers can have the south & The midwest.

Cf: Mad Dog, Texas in Illuminatus!  That's our gameplan.  Let's get to it.

It's not like they'd want us around, anyway.


unfortunately, there's no way in hell they'd let Cali go, or New England (except maybe Maine, but we'd be fucked on our own anyway)...but Washington and Oregon could probably pull it off if there was enough collective resolve, which of course, there never will be.... 8)

Before the beginning, there was a 50/50 chance of either something or nothing existing. So, something and nothing decided to flip a coin to decide which of them would exist. However, in order for there to be a coin to flip, something had to have already won the toss. Therefore, you only exist because something is a cheating bastard.

no offense, but I view New Hampshire as an unfortunate strip of land that I have to pass through on my way to Boston....your entire state has betrayed it's motto...the only saving grace you have is that your liquor store is wicked, wicked awesome...but you are NOT living free, and yet, you still live...that said, it is (un)certainly not a reflection on you as a person...all those with a revolutionary bent are welcome in the NSRA...especially those who live less than a 6 hour drive from me... 8)

Any thoughts?

When you have a force for evil like the GOP, you'd better support whatever group has the best chance of beating them.

Besides, the Dems are FUNNIER.

1. Point. Not exactly the Party of Lincoln anymore, huh? Hell, the party of Lincoln wasn't the party of... well, you know.

2. Well, duh... The dems have Barney Frank. The funniest guy the GOP has is the Idiot in Chief, and he doesn't mean to be... and anymore, I can't enjoy laughing at him, cause it's just gotten so pathetic...

5. Even so, though I might vote democratic more often than not, I wouldn't consider them 'my' party... I mean, it's not like they're actually going to be part of the solution. That notwithstanding, you get no argument from me about laying the current state of affairs squarely at the Grand Old Party's feet.

I just registered Democrat so I could vote in primaries too. I take "Vote early, vote often" very seriously you know.  :lol:

I live deep in GOP country in SW FL. The dems don't have primaries here. They try not to draw the short straw.

Ah, Florida, America's Wang...

See, this is why we need a MASSIVE overhaul of the elections system in the US. Every time I turn around I find a new example of stupidity. So, in FL, Democrats don't have primaries?

And in OR, where I am, only Dems and Reps get to vote in Presidential primaries - if you're any other party, your ballot doesn't have that race on it.

And what's weirder, last spring, when people tried to go from Green to Dem or Independent to Dem so they could vote in the Pres primary, their registrations got "lost" or "goofed," a friend of mine got a ballot with the outer envelope having her current address, her ballot having an address she hadn't lived at in like, 7 years, and her party as Green, when she had sent in a card changing to Democrat, they said "oh we must have been working from old information there" and she said "then explain how you have my new ADDRESS but not my new PARTY" and they advised her to destroy the incorrect ballot, she said "Oh no, that's EVIDENCE." She still has it.

It's totally fucked, when every state can set its own rules and none of them have to jive with each other. France is laughing at us you know, because we have so many different methods of voting in all our different states and then we wonder why we have screwy elections...

i know it sucks that Bush got elected, but I hardly see this as the death of the democratic party.  Almost half of the population expressed displeasure with Bush.  this was by no means a landslide for him.  

the pendulum has swung in the direction of the GOP, but this will not always be the case.  The more things get fucked up in Iraq, the harder it will be to conceal it.  When this happens, the GOP will get the boot and the Dems will take over for awhile.  

there is nothing the GOP can do that we can't undo.

In some ways, I wouldn't mind seeing the Dems die, but only if it meant true multi-party reform was the end result of such a demise.

Yes, but that's saying they disliked Bush, not that they liked Kerry, or what's happened to the Democrats. Things are becoming too entrenched. I'd like to see a third party, too.
