They're only funding these debates because their money bins kept getting clogged up with those stupid one dollar bills.

I'm sure they don't have any influence on the line of questioning or the moderation....

I'm sure of it.

And by the way...

If it wasn't for these guys, all of you would still be riding horses.

And you can forget about seeing third parties. F*cking corpocracy.

That's silly.
If it wasn't for these guys, we'd have another company in its place doing the exact same thing.

There's going to be trouble when the oil hits the oil.

 
Alphax 2008-08-16 06:19:49 PM  
GaryPDX: If it wasn't for these guys, all of you would still be riding horses. buying oil from someone else.

Fixed.

This isn't anything new. If you watch CNN regularly, you'll see commercials from oil companies all the time. It doesn't necessarily mean they have an influence on the network, just like ShamWOW and Pedegg don't exactly influence CNN's content.

Some of the Oil questions could be good:

"Mr.Obama, why are you against drilling for oil that would insure your children have enough energy in the future. Do you hate kids?"

"Mr.McCain, you love oil and I love oil... so take the next 60 seconds and tell us why Mr.Obama went to a Muslim school and his "mentor" was a member of the communist party of America."

MBA Whore: No milkshake references?

I had a milkshake yesterday. There, are you happy?

It brought all the boys to the yard. Pop culture reference is a freebie this time.

Better? How about:

VINCENT: Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like.
MIA: Be my guest. You can use my straw, I don't have cooties.
VINCENT: Yeah, but maybe I do.
MIA: Cooties I can handle.
VINCENT: Goddamn! That's a pretty farkin' good milk shake.
MIA: Told ya.
VINCENT: I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty farkin' good.


Whew! I'm spent. Think I'll go watch a movie. Can you recommend a good one?

Trust me. I'm an expert.

Xenu's Giant Pink Replicock:

Yes. I suggest "There will be Blood".

It has more milkshakes.

/ I also suggest Aqua Teen Hunger Force as it has a talking milkshake
