Ron Paul announced a fund raiser on the 24th of September to raise $500,000 dollars. When we, to everyone's surprise, made that goal in 3 DAYS, they upped it to a MILLION! Do it. If you don't know him, google or youtube him, it's incredible.
That's my name up there!
Donate like, five bucks. It's so easy. What it costs it terms of dollars is in no way comparable to the detriment of what it would cost to the US and our freedoms, and our national reputation around the world, if he's not elected. There is no price that would be equivalent to the benefit of more personal freedoms, an end to the war in Iraq, and a man in the White Hose who respects our nations' laws, and the principles on which this country was founded.
I was feeling fancy. I went to see Tony about some wine at his shop, The Vineyard, in Smyrna. He had this guy in there:
I asked him about it, professing my support for the font choice, and he said he designed and printed them because the printing company was going to charge 400 bucks to design and print like, 200 of them (which I would say, in all seriousness, is a screamin' deal). Tony did not agree and consequently, more Papyrus was unleashed upon the earth.
He's like, "you like that font?" I'm like, "well, I'm just surprised at how often it's used." He said, "oh really? Does it get used a lot? I thought I was being pretty original".
This site is loaded with originality via Papyrus.
If Jesus could turn water to wine, imagine what he could do with Arial and Times New Roman.
Anyhow, what goes better with wine than cheese? another local business offered up this puppy. (It's as original, if not more original):
See that? It's not just a brochure. It's a portfolio!
Yancey's Fancy cheeses are if nothing else, delicious. I grabbed this here "portfolio" at Costco, where they were passing out bite size chunks of cheese to their already cheese-addled members. The horseradish one was AWESOME!
So, Friday got a lot better when Josh forwarded this:
Our modern day cave paintings.
Yes folks, after 6 million years of the earth just bein' around- after all the evolution and technology, we finally got to the bottom of it all.
For those of you would like to spread the love (oh and you will, keep reading), here is the full, non-Papyrussed version of the email:
We all know those cute little computer symbols called "emoticons," where:
:) means a smile and :( is a frown.
Sometimes these are represented by

Well, how about some "ASSICONS?" Here goes:

You have just been e-mooned!
Send this to 5 people within the next hour and you will be blessed with people laughing at your e-mail.
As you lean further and further toward creationism, I ask you, how's that for incentive?
And in honor of general Petraeus's mic not working during his first day of testimony in front of congress, I'd like to share with you a song by !!!, off the album Louden up Now on Touch and Go Records. It's crazy. It's apropos. It's by a friggin' band with three !'s!
I gotta Ron Paul meetup this weekend in Cobb County Georgia. We're going to Lunch at Buffalo's Cafe afterward so I was checkin' out their menu, and guess what?!
It's totally there... click the pic to enlarge.
And check out that site man. Can we say "2002"? Gross.
And if I could just testify for a sec, Menomena rocks... Check out this other video directed by Stefan Nadelman for a song off the same album, Friend and Foe.
Reminds of this whorehouse in kentucky that served fried chicken... it was called "Clucks and-" ... Clucks and something... I can't remember.
Thanks Josh!
Anywayz...
In political news, the republicans had another debate last night. It was Fox News' "First of the Fall" debate. When the text messaging polls opened, Ron Paul shot out ahead and stayed there, once again winning another Fox News debate. When Colmes announced Ron Paul was leading in the middle of the post debate show, Sean Hannity is like, "Aww... here we go!" It was "driving him crazy".
You see Ron Paul doesn't have a chance. I mean, any major newspaper will tell you he's third tier, with no potential to win. The problem is however, he keeps winning things. He's won as many straw polls as Romney, most recently Maryland's, and websites that conduct online polling take down their own polls when Ron Paul emerges the victor.
You have to wonder why the media loves to hate this guy...
Anyhow. Shawn "Neo-Con, pretty face of the new nazi party" Hannity had two explanations for Ron's win. His first was that the "Paullites" were texting and re-texting their votes. There's just one problem:
That's the messege you get sent back when you vote.
That's the messege you get back when you try to vote again. Obviously, you could vote once from each phone. Shawn must have been informed of this because the next time he tried to descredit Dr. Paul was when he said "all 3% of his supporters voted tonight".
After that Ron and Shawn got into it (UPDATE):
At one point, Hannity puts Reagan up on a pedestal with regard to his grit, strength, and determination in winning the cold war as a way to criticize Paul's stance on the war in Iraq. Paul reminded him we never invaded Russian territory once. Iraq never had a nuclear weapon and Russia had stockpiles of them.
Shawn wasn't hearin' any of it.
F that guy (Hannity). Vote Ron Paul in the primaries.
That's my name up there!
