I Own the Vnboards!

For the benefit of those confused about the 'Cloudsong' cliche, here's where it originated from:

Stole My Fucking Cloudsong!

They're speaking of a cloak that is found in a game, Dark Age of Camelot, that C8 and I play(ed) frequently.

I'm a Cold-Hearted Son of a Bitch

Here's the conversation to prove it:

Officer: Hey umm, this is Deputy Barnes with the Harris County Sheriff's department. I have a Jennifer Frank with me who I'm taking to jail. She just had a baby and was wonderin' if she could take care of this ticket without going to jail.

*Dallas looks up Jennifer Frank's file*

Dallas: Sir, Jennifer Frank has one warrant for a ticket that has a 400 dollar fine. In order for her not to go to jail, she would need to pay half of the total amount. We'd then let her set up a payment plan for the rest of the amount. Can she get 200 dollars?

Officer: Let me see. She says she can't get 200 dollars

Dallas: Well, not only does she not collect 200 dollars then, but she also goes directly to jail.

Officer: Thank you sir, have a nice day.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

The boys from Angora (You might remember them from the other video I posted here) are back wishing everyone a Merry Christmas:

Jul i Angora

Simon: Now it is Christmas - It's time for glögg and duck. The snow falls in Angora's land.

Everyone: Ja, we shall chug beer - and wish for a Merry Christmas

Tales From the Proletariat: Where'd it go?

This isn't the first time I've seen this. Before me sits a ticket issued to a "Mrs. Madison" According to her drivers license, Mrs. Madison is 5'2" in height and weighs 500 pounds. A question comes immediately to mind for even the most casual observer: What could a 500 pound woman do that would be breaking the law?

The ticket presents us with this answer:

"Rode without wearing seatbelt"

Paris Hilton

Here's a pretty good illustration of just how one-dimensional this woman actually is.

A Preview

Here's a paragraph from my paper that I'm particularly proud of:

For Trotsky, socialism was the end, rather than a means for serving humanity. The end goal of Marxism was to have a society that “administer[ed] things without governing people”(1). A problem arose in trying to create such a society: humanity. A labor force (This is where the ‘things that are administered’ come from) can be managed by three different instruments: material incentives, moral motivations, and physical coercion. (1) The first instrument is hardly compatible with Marxist doctrine, and the second is completely unreliable. In his infamous attack on Kautsky, Trotsky solves this problem:

The principle itself of compulsory labour service has just as radically and permanently replaced the principle of free hiring as the socialization of the means of production has replaced capitalist property…. For we have no way to socialism except by the authoritative regulation of the economic forces and resources of the country. [emphasis added]

So for Trotsky, dehumanizing concentration camps are o.k. as long as they serve the cause of socialism.

Central Tendency: Things To Come

How are "Frankenstein", Mary Shelley, Karl Marx, Leon "I would have been just as bad as Stalin" Trotsky, The Bolshevik Revolution, The French Revolution, George Orwell, and Thomas "Slavery is good for Niggers" Carlyle connected?
