I’m so behind the times, I honestly thought the Sammies was a food award from Rachael Ray.

“Teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to read philosophy!”
Philosophy’s fine. Any Random’s another matter, unless they have to write an essay trying to illustrate how it would work with (relevant) references.

““a central banking system, which is not only not disallowed, the first one was chartered in 1791 by one of the founding fathers?”
The Bank of the United States was public.
The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE CORPORATION!”
So the Fed should be nationalized? Sounds reasonable to me, but are you sure your GOP News Carny pals will be happy with that?

Do not mock Australopithetarian!
After all, there is a secret Judeocommunomuslim world government (comprised of NATO, the CIA, the UN and Media Matters) running the world, so the laws that apply federally and across the world are exactly the same. Therefore FREE TRADE.

I really adored the collective “Ballad of the Green Beret” parody, but my question is: is the Sam Adams brewery involved with this mess? Not that it would disturb my own drinking habits if they were–I live on the left coast and can name like a dozen breweries I’d patronize first–but I do travel, and sometimes Sam Adams is the only thing you can get that’s remotely like actual beer at airports, restaurants, etc.

What the hell is that Austro-hungarian dude talking about? Radical primitivists? Teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to read philosophy!

Elizabeth Crum of Las Vegas, Nevada, won the $2,500 Blogivist of the Year Award for successfully embodying the “Say Something, Do Something” spirit of Blogivists.com

The guy who twitters his flatulence should have won.

How many bags would a teabagger bag, if a teabagger could bag tea?

Sorry…

Loving the videos.

I made it through :45 of the first offering. I just couldn’t take it. It was like watching a retarded chimp trying explain doctorate-level calculus using nothing but the words “like” and “uh” and “because.” Our children is most definitely not learning.

The second video is deceptive, thus the 1:45 tolerance — the first :30 or so was just the sound of a furnace in need of a tune up. A decade ago. And I love how the background music had to stop every time another random sound came on. Nice touch, that.

The last one was … well, dear fucking lord. What the fuck was that? I just … I don’t … uh … just … fuckity blartfuck. That lasted :32

Although, now that I think about it, Borg Thad and Asimo Amy are actually the perfect modern American conservative: lifeless forms ready to repeat whatever they’re told, lacking all sense of irony and self awareness, clueless about anything us living, breathing people consider reality, and quite happy just to live in it’s own little world.

Damn … they may actually have something there.

(Sorry for the thesis. Sheesh … )

Wait a second- technically in a few of those awards a person could obey the rules and still basically crank them- and what would a Randian admire more than a person who doesn’t let things like rules defeat their uncomprimising vision- except you know have the strength of will to rape a woman into loving you (seriously for some reason my Fountainhead Essay on how Objectism is a philosophical justification for sociopathy didn’t win me a Scholarship).

Wouldn’t video short about how the War in Iraq and the Bloated Defense budget is driving us in to debt- fit the criteria to the letter. Or better yet a Tea Party on a Local Issue- seriously that’s so unrestricted you could plug any protest imaginable in there- no specifics at all- heck you could read the Speech everyone skips in Atlas Shrugs aloud and probably win.

What is the story behind the exposed “44 deceased Oregonian voters”? Are these people who died after mailing in their absentee ballot?

Daddy says I tried to git that fella to show me where in the Constitution it says a man’s gotta have a tag and insurance. Nowhere is where. Daddy shakes his head all disgusted. He says they wouldn’t listen.

I have to say that my favorite part about all of this is the idea that this is the Randroids’ Woodstock.

Especially funny since at one point I stumbled across an essay Rand wrote on Woodstock (“Apollo and Dionysius”, sadly not online) and the impression was that the very concept of the Woodstock Festival caused her to froth at the mouth (and quite possibly other orifices).

Apologies? For what?

The more juvenile the better is what I always say. I particularly love the bit about “have him foul America’s nest” and perhaps even more, the line “one hundred came on Teabag Day.”

My apologies, Jennifer, for taking your more political idea in an entirely juvenile direction.

RB – love the first two lines…for the second two, I suggest:

Make him a man who wears the tag
Of a guy who’s proud that he teabags.

Looks more like Bob Dole getting a blowjob.

Thank you very little for that. No doubt the award is furious ugly, tho – it doesn’t help that the whole big-head caricature thing is a special unfavorite of mine.

“Put Nutty Wings on my son’s chest
Have him foul America’s nest
Make him a man of whom they’ll say
‘I want him!’ for Teabag Day”

Putting your NONSENSICAL ARGUMENTS in CAPITAL LETTERS does not make them any more PERSUASIVE.

Right wingers do that all the time. Even when they’re not trolling, like say in the comments section of a centrist newspaper. It’s really weird.

Nice additions, RB. Only three more verses and we’ll have it.

Mouths agape in howls of rage
O’er higher tax on higher wage
Faithful dupes who’ll gladly gag
To get a taste of rich douche teabag.
