Unlearn the Propaganda!

  • Michael Mills

    Not anymore… I don’t even recognize your adversary. Lets give Tom a bump.

  • Eff Lincoln

    Huhh? And this trivia matters because…………?

    I can’t have idiosyncratic things on my own blog now?

  • Michael Mills

    Idiosyncracies aside, you play guitar?

  • Brutus

    Let’s give whom a bump? Oh, Tom? Oh Tom Woods! Oh yeah! OMG! I had forgotten from whose webpage I had surfed. All I remembered was “I am getting killed”, so first I looked at the results, and then I voted for the underdog.
    Oops! Sorry Tom! …Boy, do I feel stupid!
    I guess I’m too stoopid to fall for Tom’s hasty little rhetorical trick…
    Hahahahahahahahaha… :D

    [in my best Bill Lumbergh voice]: Uhh, yeah. Did ya get that memo?? We’re now trying to eradicate all idiosyncratic things from the web. So if you could try and remember that, …that’d be greeeat. K?! Thanks!

    But seriously, I didn’t even look at the poll before voting. Someone puts up “We’re getting crushed in this poll! *link*”, and I’m all like NUUH UUHH! *click* It’s like second nature to me at this point.

    … i just hope I haven’t voted to kill any puppies.

    Since when is only winning by 80% “getting killed” in a poll?
    (Except if your name is Ron Paul)

  • http://www.TomWoods.com Tom Woods

    No, but I like hearing other people play.

  • http://www.TomWoods.com Tom Woods

    They were winning like 100 to 6 and really piling on.

  • Steven Tate

    Considering both contestants mentioned it on their pages I don’t see any problem here, however, thanks to this little contest I now have all the other contestants bookmarked so I’ll be checking their blogs and pages now too :) Heistclick, Gigi Bowman, Danny Panzella, interesting stuff from the liberty movement.

  • algernon

    Idiosyncratic? This is a child’s parlor game plain and simple.

  • PhilB

    HEISTCLIK? is that a joke? what history class did that joker every teach? President Woods.

  • hug

  • BrunoT

    So, is it about who’s better for liberty or something along those lines? Or is it just who has the most friends?

  • The Slosh

    Who the hell is HeistClick? The poll is stupid!
