Minimum wage! H-yahh! Whp*chi!

Best song on there. All, what, 10 seconds of it?
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

King Missile is better, for my money. How can you top the band that chants about detachable penises and sticking the Louisiana purchase up its ass?

EDIT: Incidentally, "Jesus was Way Cool" is one of my favorite songs, period.

I never would have thought that I would have something in common with Koji :)

"I don't mind / the thing that bothers me is: / Someone keeps moving my chair." (you guys quoted most of the good lines already)

I haven't listened to that album in a while. Have to go get out the copy I have that replaced the one I wore out in college.
