- A video game from 1998 CONCLUSIVELY PROVES that Marxism is a lie. [Ludwig Von Mises Institute]
- The Huffington Post and some Islamaphobe blog are in a juicy spat because HuffPo reported the Islamaphobe’s Islamaphobic ads were taken down when they were actually not taken down, prompting MASSIVE RETALIATION via blog post. [AtlasShrugs]
- One day after winning his primary, Marco Rubio abandons the Tea Party Scott Brown-style, by not worshiping them with his every breath. [DailyCaller]
- John Dennis is so gay for Judy Garland he fantasizes about defeating his congressional opponent Nancy Pelosi in ruby red slippers while subjecting Judy/Nancy to a wet T-shirt contest. [John Dennis]
- The Moonies are all up in the dramz because a non-Moon is trying to grab the Washington Times from the Rev. Moon’s son, but daddy Moon seems to be OK with it, so everyone should just get mass-married already. [DailyIntel]
RUMORS ON THE INTERNETS

I would think that the collapse of the Soviet Union and its satellite nations in 1985-1994 would have been a better proof that Marxism sucks ass.
Oh those deluded Aspergers sucking Libertardians. If it can’t be proved in fantasy then it never happened in reality.
John Dennis is gayer than Glenda the Good Witch’s hover bubble.
You know, I couldn’t finish Doom III, thereby proving that military force never works.
Also, I am perfectly happy to mass-marry anyone on this site in honor of our glorious leaders in the Wonkette-iverse.
I preferred Mattheus von Guttenberg when he was in Police Academy.
Maybe Austrian brain-boy should have clicked the “Anschluss” button; his shit would have been organized in one quick hurry once the Wehrmacht marched int.
Oh, they made you read Pam Gellar? Ben, I hope you got hazard pay for that – and I can’t believe I managed to get halfway through it. Gee, it is shocking that someone thought her ads trying to warm Americans about the danger of a vicious cultural practice on the other side of the world might be intended more to stir up racist hate against Muslims than to actually help someone, especially coming from someone like Pam who has a clean record of never writing anything but vicious racist screeds.
A video game from 2007 conclusively and intentionally proved that Objectivism is a crock of shit; not that it’s hard, your average five year old could easily prove that.
Yeah, right, John Dennis – when monkeys fly OUT OF MY BUTT!!!
re: Huffpo, it would not be the 1st time the Huffington Post reported something that wasn’t actually, literally true. A bit like our Wonkette, but without the funniness.
I guess Ludwig there doesn’t consider alternate explanations for his failure at Caesar III. Like maybe he’s incomptent. Naw, must be some larger political point.
Well, according to the comments on The Daily Caller, it didn’t take long for the Tea Baggers to jump off of Team Rubio. Is it a Tea Bagger Badge of Honor to vote for the person that gets the least amount of votes?
The other day I defeated my adversary in Age of Empries by fortifying my Town Center and building a Wonder; thus proving conclusively that central planning and non-aggression is preferable and superior to laissez-faire militarism.
It’s always fascinating to read prose by a humorless person trying to be funny; the result is as different from humor as a cadaver is from a living body. Aside from the blatant shilling, there is a wan, ghoulish tinge to the Wicked Witch of the Left post that’s genuinely odd. I also enjoyed the description, “John Dennis is the only person running against Nancy Pelosi,” which so invites “John is the only person foolish enough to run.” Seems to be about 34 cards in that deck.
[re=645413]JMP[/re]: Pamela Gellar is exactly like the woman Mike Myers used to caricature on SNL, esp. the hand gestures. Discuss.
Oh, Ruuuuuuuuubio
Don’t take your love to town
Specifically, the fact that the one writer SUCKS at a game from 1998 proves that Marxism is wrong.
Contariwise, though, I’ve played Civilization and Civilization II a few hundred times in my day, and I consistently won by building the United Nations so that everyone was forced to make peace with me, switching my government to Communism, and nuking and invading every other country until I had conquered the world. Make of that what you will.
So alright, I’ll comment on each story in turn: so the Ludwig von Mises douche can’t make it work in Caesar III and this proves Marxism is a lie eh? Okay then I suppose that myself with my MASSIVE intellect (his arrogance was quite cute so I’ll ape it) couldn’t win at a game that sought to teach others how to be stock traders so therefore capitalism is also a lie! Anyway, what’s funny is they always use the most extreme conatation of socialist (Marxist, blah, blah) to make their argument; and it’s no wonder this rides the fail whale.
No one is still insisting that the “Marxist state” is or can be a success, only those of us who are not A) a rich corporate douche flush in our own supremacy or B) a wingnut idiot worshipping said douche because of his perceived supremacy think that the corporate state that defines late term American capitalism is a success, either. I say late-term because just like in the 1920′s the whole rotted structure is coming down yet again and we’ll need socialism to save us; thus history repeats itself. If you believe the corporate state is capitalism or a success then you’re either A or B as I previously stated and therefore completely out of touch with reality, thus I just logically labeled Ludwig von Mises institute douche, my god I’m extremely bright and superior too!
“If a graduate from the Mises University has trouble planning a make-believe Roman colony, what hope is there that anyone could plan the real thing?”
“… you must build enormous amounts of police stations (prefectures) at all times. They protect the citizens and make sure buildings live up to the fire code. Failure to do so will result in spontaneous explosion of random buildings (literally!). There have been times when I forgot (silly me) to place 3 prefectures all around my farmlands, and all my farms caught fire and had to be cleared.”
“I found it amusing that the game forces you to build disproportionately large amounts of public offices to make sure “your citizens are safe.” Many parts of the city are like this: not enough doctors’ offices amount to a plague epidemic…”
I find it amusing that a graduate from the Mises University couldn’t plan a make-believe Roman colony. I find it amusing that a graduate from the Mises University “forgot” the need for state run police and fire stations. I find it amusing that a graduate from the Mises University couldn’t make the connection between state spending on healthcare and epidemics. Amusing, but not shocking. After all, if the free market can’t fix it, it doesn’t need to be fixed? Right?
Whoops I spent so much time bashing that elitist libertarin douchenozzle that I forgot to comment on the other stories, eh here goes one line to each. Marco Rubio is a complete wingnut so he’s only deviating away from the teabaggers because the Rand Paul and Sharron Angle debacles are showing why being a complete wingnut ain’t so glorious afterall. Nancy Pelosi would crush John Dennis’s nuts except that he doesn’t seem to have any and yeah I can TOTALLY see her losing to this joker. Whoever tries to buy the Times from the Moonies should know that particular ground is already toxic taint so unless he’s a complete wingnut the only direction to go is to become even more of a tabloid than it is now. And I’m finished! Yes, Ludwig von Mises guy is a complete douchebag, again and also.
And, wow, John Dennis, way to win the women’s vote. Call your female opponent a witch. Yeah, that’s a winning strategy. Maybe you should hire Dr. Laura as a campaign consultant? Why just alienate women when you can alienate minorities too?
Trouble in Moonieland. Long Dong Joo is getting set to take over. I didn’t know they had Joos in Korea. But this Long Dong is quite a specimen, I hear.
Dumb, dumb libertarian. All he had to do was type “porntipsguzzardo” and he would have had it made. Kind of like capitalism, really – exploit the system and watch the dough roll in.
[re=645607]President Beeblebrox[/re]: I still can’t believe they got an article out of that. Because the social and economic systems of *ancient Rome* – as modeled in a video games – provide insightful parallels into modern, transnational capitalism.
Still, it was a pretty fun game, if I recall.
I thought the Huffington Post was just upskirt and side-boob pictures. Hardly WARBLOG material.
[re=645687]Mad Brahms[/re]: Since ancient Rome gave free grain to all their citizens, they must have been a bunch of SOCIALISTS. Still, it worked pretty fucking well for them up until the point they got taken over by a group of sheepherder subjects’ monotheistic death cult.
