No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Oh, and by the way. I would like to be the first one here to welcome the 51st state to the Union. Hello Puerto Rico!


WHAT?!
http://www.ceepur.org/REYDI_NocheDelEvento/index.html#en/default/OPCIONES_NO_TERRITORIALES_ISLA.xml
From 2012-2015:

-Puerto Rico, having voted by referendum to petition for statehood, but only just barely, is at some point from 2012-2015 accepted by Congress as the 51st state. The US has to change the flag again.
I don't know if I see Puerto Rico ever becoming a US state. The majority still oppose statehood by about a 60/40 margin
Uh, no they don't. It hasn't been 60/40 for almost half a century, and last time, in 1998, it just barely avoided getting a majority for statehood.

O RLY? (or should I say żO RLMENTE?)
It is genuinely odd how much that doesn't match the election trends. I guess we'll see for sure come November.
OH

OH

WHO FUCKING CALLED IT?

I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Conservapedia has decided to go for the following explanation: The Republican Party: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, with a link to World Nut Daily.

So, I really want to post one last synopsis before I close out for the night, but Florida hasn't been called yet.  Don't worry, I'm not going to lock the thread or anything, but a close-down would be very fulfilling.

I want to thank everyone for sticking around, even the unpopular folks, because it's just great to see people interested.  Likewise, my apology for launching a thread and then kinda abandoning it towards the end of the primaries, but I've had quite a year myself that got in the way of pseudo-blogging.  But yeah, I'm glad to see people having a great time, so thanks for being around folks.

And now, to come up with some appropriately smarmy close out to put the OP to bed.

Well, if any of us are still here in three years, you know who to call.

I probably would have said something like that in 2008, so who knows.  Christ I feel old all of a sudden.

There's no point. Even if they could turn one, Obama won by a huge margin.

I think this calls for a quote from the Good Book:

"1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter." -James 5:1

I don't think St.James intended this passage as a roadmap for the ideal tax-plan, but that's what I like to think of it as; That's what I think it should be used for.
