Duct tape FTW! lmao. That SAW video is good. I was hoping he'd pick jigsaw up and throw him against a brick wall.

Another out of touch old white guy. btw, after clicking the link and looking at the comments, I saw what I expected.. nutjobs arguing back and forth. I really don't understand why all these sites have comment sections and let these never ending arguments go on forever.

Carol killed them. Wow. I didn't think she'd ever do that. Shes more dangerous than I thought. It looked like Tyrese was gone there for a minute. I hope they do a bite check on him. And he blasted Rick in the face. I loved that, because it looked like he knocked some sense back into him. That herd was huge. The next ep should be really good. Daryl's group will probably focus on survival now more than getting some meds at this point. If that massive herd started walking to the prison there would be no stopping them from tearing down those chain link fences and overrunning the entire place.

Curiosity was / is awesome! That was a great achievement for NASA and it was treated like the red bull space jump guy. One day of publicity, some memes and then basically ignored. I don't think kids want to be astronauts or astronomers anymore. Most of them have crap educations and only have military service or mcdonalds employment to look forward to. Maybe if we had better coverage of the more advanced sciences on tv instead of ancient alien theories, we'd have a better chance at encouraging the next generation into advancing their education. I'm really looking forward to the new Cosmos series on Fox. I hope it'll be good and maybe accomplish this. Along with new Through the Wormhole episodes, I'd love to see more science shows. There are still people that don't think we even landed on the moon and I'm sure there are people that deny that Curiosity is even on Mars. Speaking of which, I love this video of Buzz Aldrin punching a conspiracy theorist: There are far too many politicians with no science knowledge and facts. When I used to watch Celebrity Apprentice there was a season with Rod Blagojevich in it.. the former governor of Illinois thats currently in jail, who is 56 years old. Before his court date and sentencing, he was a free guy and was on the apprentice show. Anyway, as I was watching this I couldn't believe my eyes. He didn't know how to use a computer. He literally did not know how to even turn it on or how to type. wtf. He was the governor of a state and did not know how to turn on a computer. It boggles my mind that people like this get into power. There are congressmen / congresswomen that don't understand how the internet works, how gun magazines are reusable, conspiracy theorists, and there are more than quite a few that use brilliant scientists like the flat earth society: http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/ wtf. With the way congress is now, all the large one or two issue problems could become the next focal point of complete gridlock. Its petty, but if one side can push the issue the primary candidate supports, then they'll smear campaign the hell out of it until the general voting population hates them.

I watched this, but I missed the first 20 minutes. Its surprisingly short. Only 1 1/2 hours long.. and so gory! I now know what its looks like if someone's arm is cut off.. and someone else is bashed repeatedly with a crow bar.. every hit on film. It didn't cut away like most movies or tv shows do.. no.. there is the brutal bashing. Definitely a horror movie and not a suspense thriller like the original. Decent movie though, it wasn't as bad or gross as the Saw movies. But I'm definitely more of a fan of the original.

I honestly think McCain should have been president instead of Bush, he would have been a better war time president but he got screwed in the primaries at that time. Hilary should have been president over Obama, but a black male president was apparently more electable than a woman. Ron Paul got some coverage on MSNBC, especially during that republic convention that officially announced Romney as the candidate. If I remember correctly, Guam and the state of Maine were very vocal in their protests. I flip through the different channels sometimes to see whats being covered so I can look up more info on different subjects that seem off or only covered by one group. I think the only reason MSNBC was covering Ron Paul at the time was to emphasize the discourse in the republican party. That and these news outlets like to emphasize more coverage on a candidate they feel would not win in a national election to try and get people to split the votes or get the candidate they want into a primary win so they'll be less likely to win against their parties candidate later. People would have voted for Ron Paul if he put his name in to the state elections for write in eligibility. MSNBC knows this, so they cover Paul in the hopes that if he did that, then more republican votes would be split between the two of them and Obama would have had an easy victory. Paul didn't put his name in for write for exactly this reason. Its all mind games and its another reason I don't care for these biased media channels. It worked the same for Fox News, sometime Hilary was given more coverage, other times she was blasted for her opinions. MSNBC didn't seem to like her at all and put all their backing behind Obama. Rand Paul has some good positions that I agree with but others I don't. But the main reason I don't think he'll win a presidential election is because of his stance on abortion and fetus rights. Just that one thing could make him unelectable. And for the democrats, there is Governor Cuomo of NY. Hes done a much better job over the previous governors for this state, but the moment he forced through his anti-gun agenda he lost all potential for presidential election. Same with Rand Paul, just one issue and they're basically both screwed out of getting past their respective primary elections because their own parties wont see them as being electable nationwide. I honestly think Chris Christie would have been a better nominee than Romney. I used to vote republican, I mostly vote democrat now, but I will vote for whoever deserves my vote. If I see a name on a ballot and i don't know who they are, I have the right to leave that part unvoted and thats what I do. I won't vote party line anymore, I need to be convinced. The biggest problem with America is the lack of voters. Its a right that many people do not take advantage of unless it is a presidential election and its a shame. Every politician in power now could be voted out if the other 50%+ of US citizens actually voted. I've seen people bash the tea party for their positions in congress. I've had a tea party representative in congress for my district before. Ann Marie Buerkle. I don't think she did a good job at all, she seemed highly uninformed on a variety of subjects. I know she does not represent the tea party as a whole, but she did not please people in this state and lost her re-election. What was really interesting in that election was that a green party candidate was in the debate, Ursula Rozum. She had some good positions, like the elimination of all existing student debt and that higher education should a be a constitutional right for all citizens.. but none of it made financial sense. Other than a few extreme positions, she could have run on a democrat line, but didn't. It makes me wonder why the Tea Party doesn't run on its own party line. The Obamacare website is a disaster and it reflects on the entire bill. NPR has a decent article about the UK government's digital infrastructure: http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/10/23/240268497/u-k-official-urges-u-s-government-to-adopt-a-digital-core The highlight of this article was at the bottom: In essence, the website is Obamacare. Because the website is faulty, the entire health care bill is faulty. Without it working correctly, the entire health care reform will not work correctly. They should have outsourced this to amazon. Amazon's cloud servers and tech powers Netflix and Reddit to name a few. They would have done a much better job and given everyone free overnight shipping of their documents. On one last note.. all politicians should be required to take science classes. I agree with that.. not just tests, but entire classes so they can be informed. They should also all be required to go to a Department of Social Services and go through the process of filing for welfare and food stamps. Its an all day event, possibly spanning numerous days depending on where you live. They should experience it to know what its like and what the benefits and requirements actually involve. Instead of everyone complaining about welfare queens, they should jump into the system to get first hand experience so they'll know what should be fixed. Same with gun policies. Everyone of them should be required to get a gun permit, take a safety course and buy a firearm so they know what they are talking about. Even if politicians are pro or against any issue, they should actually have knowledge about them before they sign bills that affect them. Oh.. and birth control should be free. If people don't want welfare queens, then free birth control should be available to prevent unwanted pregnancies and children that are unaffordable outside of massive earned income tax credits and increased welfare benefits.

Sledgstone commented on Sledgstone's blog entry in Snack Reviews
The stores around here have probably had these combos for years but I would only eat the pizza ones. Since I started doing snack reviews I've tried flavors I never would have before. Zesty Salsa.. Those I have not seen before. I'll try to find them. ^__^- 2 comments

I did not know about the lead gasoline info. No wonder all gasoline pumps say unleaded. Adolph Hitler is a pretty bad name, but Sephiroth doesn't seem too bad: http://www.destructoid.com/when-being-a-gamer-is-not-a-good-thing-check-out-this-kid-s-final-fantasy-name-108192.phtml but this one is: Anakin Megatron Mavryck Sephiroth Slayde Bane Northcutt VII http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=264278

@Myk JL I don't think all the batman fans out there would react well to a black batman, the movie would probably bomb like the Halle Berry catwoman movie. But with the way Idris Elba looked in Thor.. that dude was intimidating. He probably would make an amazing batman. I could see Seth MacFarlane as Bruce Wayne, but definitely not as Batman. Every movie Lex Luthor has been in should have involved that damn warsuit.

Good tips! I might start it up again in a little while.

Thats good, because most enemies are in hordes. Trying to counter just a single one would require getting too close to them compared to using the dust storm. How about upgrades to Fidget's projectiles? Are there a bunch?

I was looking through my old blog posts and I see this: http://www.ancientclan.com/blog/1/entry-33-worst-case-scenario-for-us-by-end-of-2008/ I was watching way too much MSNBC in 2008. Back in the day I used to watch Fox News. I thought Bill O'Reilly was great with how he interviewed politicians. The no spin zone was a concept that I liked. My dad would listen to Rush Limbaugh and I'd hear many of his broadcasts. Years later I moved to NY. Democrats are more popular in this state. I ended up eventually watching some MSNBC instead of Fox News or CNN. After a few years and a presidential election I realized that all media is biased. Looking back on my days of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh I used to vote party line all republican. I didn't even know who any one was.. just the fact that it was republican was good enough for me. When I finally started voting in NY I eventually voted the same way. Party line democrat. Looking back on it all, I was controlled. Based upon the biased news I'd hear, I was manipulated into thinking a certain way without being out right told to do so. I no longer watch these channels when I can avoid them. Instead I'll look at twitter, see some headlines, then google search those words and read the news from a couple of random sources. I get a much better view on whats real this way. And if I see an article that is highly motivated towards a specific party then I disregard that website or channel and try to avoid them. I was easily manipulated for years by a one sided argument against the other political party. They are like religious leaders. Preaching their story and telling you how to think and behave but never telling you about the good things the other party actually does. Like religion, everyone is expected to pick a side and all other views and opinions are blasphemous and should not be considered or even listened to. I believe, because of my religious christian upbringing, I was, in essence pre-programmed as a child to accept things that are presented to me and keep coming back for me of the same speech. As well as stay true to the person or in this case, channel, giving me my information. I can honestly say that most of the reliable news I get comes from NPR. I can fact check a variety of stories or search for different views on some subjects they cover and they are not biased or necessarily pro government. Any other website or news source that says other wise is the equivalent of a pastor reprimanding you for looking into or asking about another religion. If you don't get your news fix from only them, then NPR and all other news is corrupt. What a load of shit. What also kills me is the ridiculous unchecked comments. Everyone has comments, but no moderators. I've seen sites where pro democrats say they'll move to canada if a republican is ever elected president again. I've seen fear mongering from democrats basically stating that many right wing nuts are about to push the boundaries for starting a civil war. I've also seen comments from pro republican sites where people talk about the day the south will eventually rise again and reclaim america, "but not in a racially motivated slave way".. I've also seen where people want to force god back into the country but refuse to admit that the founding fathers were secualrists. All of it is dumbfounding. US citizens are basically sheep following a flock. I'm just glad the flat earth society was never main stream. Imagine if I fell into that way of thinking.. lol. People alive today still believe the earth is flat. wtf.
