Kezins’ Top Posts Of The Week
August 16, 2008
We write a ton of posts on Kezins.com, so it doesn’t take long for an article to work it’s way off the front page and into the abyss where some people may never find them. Because of this, we have decided to post links to our most popular articles from the week each Saturday. Some articles may be from long ago, yet still popular like Juan’s “7 Greatest Video Game Urban Legends”. If you’d like to see our all-time most popular posts, just click on Top Posts at the top menu.

I Ain’t Vot’n For No Fag: Getting in Touch With Your Inner Ignorance
August 5, 2008
In the upcoming election, it is a battle of image; it is also a battle of ego versus inspiration. In terms of preserving our young republic, we are a critical moment, will we be the industrious, innovative trail blazers of the past, or will we continue to run the country into the ground with ‘ego’ based policy.
You are probably wondering what I mean by ‘ego’ based policy. To me, it means a policy that is based on pride and posturing. It is a mentality of adolescence. In my middle school years, I would get in a fight over a crush with a friend, or would let the air out of a friend’s tires for disagreeing on where to go in a friendly bike ride. What is my point? The point is, those things are a normal part of development if you are 12 years old. Those types of behavior are not normal if you are the leader of the presumed powerhouse of the world.
John McCain has made it clear through his posturing that he wants to expand the U.S. Empire. He has made it clear that he is willing to attack a country based on minor insults or upon a rumor of hearing something he feels is disrespectful. Like I said, that is ok if you are 12 years old, the problem is, there are no ‘take backs’ when the missiles start to fly.
Have we not elected the reincarnation of Hitler?
August 4, 2008
I have compiled some famous quotes from Hitler, tell me they could not be coming from Bush 43’s mouth. My response comments are in bold.
All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless Goddess of Distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.
N.C. Murder Suspect Caught In Florida Playing Guitar Hero
August 3, 2008
Murder suspects on the run typically lay low and avoid public situations. In this case, 30-year-old Raymundo Castaneda thought it would be wise to hang out at a Wal-Mart in Jacksonville, Florida playing Guitar Hero while he was being tracked down for a murder in North Carolina. The U.S. Marshals were tipped off that he was there and stormed the store to capture the suspect. The interesting part of the story is how he was so focused on playing the game, he never noticed the feds moving in on him. They never mentioned in the article what song he was playing at the time.
Living under a Fascist Curtain
July 31, 2008
Read the following quote and let it sink in:
Naturally the common people don’t want war, neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Wish you would have paid more attention in social studies class? Or that you didn’t have a teacher who was too scared to speak the truth. In the past 7+ years George Bush has committed mass murder by killing over 300,000 civilians in Iraq.
This morning, on the Howard Stern show, I heard a very interesting commentary from former governor Jesse Ventura. He was a navy Seal and an underwater demolitions expert. There is not one demolition expert who was on his team that thinks that the planes knocked down the towers on 9/11. Explosives were planted, Bush needed a major event to perpetuate his oil war and control the oil in the MidEast. Please if anyone thinks I’m wrong…
Tell me how.

The Declining Value Of College Degrees
July 21, 2008
People have been saying that the value of a college education has been declining for years. I’m finally starting to believe it. Currently, I’m searching for a new career to help make ends meet. I make a little money writing about video games, but it’s not enough anymore. During my job hunting experiences over the past few months, I have realized that my degrees don’t mean a whole lot. I’m still competing with people who have no degree at all for entry level positions. While the value is decreasing, I still feel like having degrees is an important thing. There are still quite a few jobs out there that require them. It’s just a sad fact that a degree isn’t worth what it once was…
Edmonton Police Bring Strippers to Jail for Private Performances
July 13, 2008
Canadian police constables round up strippers after their shifts at the club and bring them back to the constable lounge for drinks after hours. Evidently, the lounge has vending machines filled with liquor and beer. No stripper pole was mentioned.
Wow. This wouldn’t happen in the US, as it is highly unimaginable any police department would have vending machines with liquor in them. Our liquor laws generally wouldn’t allow it. But DAMN CANADA! Mad props. I didn’t know you had it in you.
