That’s fucking awesome. Me and three other guys are so gonna get those and pretend to be a giant DDR game.

Jesus, Bubba, I didn’t know you could use a drop-D tuning to play metal. It makes sense, but the only metal I’ve ever played with a drop-D is my Fender…

…resonator. With a slide. :)

Bought the boy an ESP V-500 last month so’s he could assay Alexi Leiho soloeaux more accurately. Last night on the way home from soccer, he tells me “all his favorite” HM bands are switching to seven-string guitars — thus firmly hinting that that $600 axe I bought him is now obsolete.

I’ll buy him a new one when he starts playing bluegrass, the little villain.

Fox News v. facts

You mean “a country to ruin,” asshole. Abu Ghraib, Katrina, Wall Street — yep, nothing “loony” about them.

I also admire the honesty of Da Troof, who said:

Oh, liberals, it still gives me great pleasure to watch you rant and rave, unable to realize why so many people support McCain and Palin. You just don’t get it, do you? Darlings, Christmas comes early this year for me as I watch you implode on election night. Obama’s poll numbers are inflated up to 10% by the Bradley Effect, …

In other words, Troofie, you’re actually boasting about being racists and bigots. Way to demonstrate your superiority!

You misspelled “creationism”.

No, wait, you got it right. Never mind.

Did you hear that decision was recently reversed?

Okay, most Americans, of what use is drop-D tuning? Sorry most Americans, you should not be in a metal band.

Who says metal bands are the only ones that use drop-D? Folkies have used it for ages. Hell, we even use open-D….

Cheers,

Don’t be ridiculous. This case would never make it to the Supreme Court. Appellate, maybe.

Per the State Library of Iowa, African-Americans were 2.3% of the state’s total population in 2005.

The numbers here speake for themselves:

THE POLL: KCCI-TV Poll of 600 likely Iowa voters. (7 electoral votes)

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama, 55 percent, John McCain, 39 percent.

OF INTEREST: Most recent polling has shown Obama with significant leads over McCain, but this margin is larger than that found in other polls. The poll also showed that McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate made 18 percent more likely to vote for the Republican, and 23 percent less likely. About 59 percent said it made no difference.

DETAILS: Conducted by Research 2000 on Sept. 29-30 through telephone interviews with 600 likely voters. Sampling error plus or minus 4 percentage points.

I doubt very much that the Bradley Effect can account for that big a discrepancy in the polls, especially given that Obama won the caucuses handily, sending him on his way to the nomination.

Looks like picking old Sayruh was suicide for hte teh the McCain campaignFollies. I expect if it’s true here it will be true in a lot of other pale states as well.
