Well, big brother probably does already know who's gonna win. It just might not be McCain

Oh, don't know who's gonna win. Besides, not going to mention who is my favorite. After all, the mods wouldn't like that. Must admit that the onion makes quite some good stuff. Ah well - lets see who is sharp today .

I know precisely whose going to win already, and called it months ago. I've been right about everything in the election so far, every minute detail except that one candidate has stayed in the race much longer than I anticipated. Otherwise, yeah, I know whose going to win. And it isn't McCain .

I'm trying to compare all of the candidates on what they think of the video game industry but I can't find a resource for that lol. Anyone know of an article that exists somewhere that talks about it?

A night's research, and an hour writing it, you might even get it on Digg

Anyhoo - steer clear of the Political talk, Matt

No Dink, don't say those things! The Mods don't like it.

Isn't Matt always right about everything though?

Hilarious video, I especially liked the staged assassination. The smile the guy gave was priceless. And the bags under his eyes, perfect.

Noone's sharp today. My last post gave away the one I think is going to win. At least, the one I'm rooting for...

I love the news flash thing at the bottom. One of the things written there: "One man band loses drummer in car accident"
