I came across a very interesting Rolling Stone article today on John McCain.

What I liked about the article is that it heavily relies on comments from fellow conservatives/Republicans as well as people who know John McCain personally. Very well written, very well researched… and quite chilling. It’s long, but definitely worth your time.

Hey check this out. It seems that lava flows indicate that the Earth’s magnetic fields occasionally reverse, which would have compasses worldwide pointing South. This is a geological ‘occasional’, though, which means the last time it happened was about 800,000 years ago (unless you’re Sarah Palin, in which case the last time it happened was when dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth together).

Of course you know what I immediately thought of when I read this news.

Ok, so actually I wouldn’t blame you at all if you had no idea what I thought of. Still, it gives me an excuse to link to an all-star Gambit from the past. The original site is lost to the mists of internets past (but you can still see it here, thanks to the magic of archive.org). I can only hope that the site creator takes some time out from playing D&D in his parents’ basement to reflect on the fact that he was kinda right. Ya know, if you leave out the mystery invisible planet and the worldwide destruction.

Vote for Zod. And then kneel before him.

I’ve been waiting for his comeback ever since he got forced out of the Imperial Senate a long time ago (and in a galaxy far, far away).

Hey, it was either that link or the one from the monkey researcher about how he knows McCain is afraid of Obama based on primate sociology. . . . Oh hell, let’s post that too.
