Decide the Tagline
Categorized under Blogando , Humor | Tags: blogs, I should tag this something, the Unapologetic Mexican
DECIDE FOR GOOOOOD N ALL who holds sway over these here five pernts! Voting closed! See last update below.
Ahem. Regarding this post, I'd like to draw on the experience of ustedes. Unlike in some other elections, your vote really does count (unless you choose option 3).
UPDATE domingo 20:51 Well, well. "Aryans" has pulled well into the lead. We may have a reversal on our hands. I'll keep the vote open for another day. This is a matter of great importance, after all.
UPDATE lunes 11:29 "Minutemen" pulling back neck in neck! Post bumped to top of page to keep it visible.
UPATE lunes 16:04 PST almost five hours from now, voting closes!!! Surprisingly, "Minutemen" has swung into the lead, 49% to 43%! I said, ayer at 20:51 that voting would be open for "another day," so let's say that at 20:51 today, we are done, and the tagline for the individual posts will be decided by ustedes. Whatever line is in the lead at that point winneth. Deadline, 8:51 pm (PST!).
UPATE lunes 20:51 PST Zero hour is here and believe it or not, the votes are tied down the middle. 70 votes total, 46% each of the two (major) choices! You know, this means we may have to inspect the chads.
Voting will go on for this most crucial of decisions for another 24 hours, then! I won't bump the post again, but I'll announce tomorrow night who will be honored in the header.
UPDATE martes 20:51 Hokay, peeps, looks like "Smarter than TEN Aryans!" has made a comeback and won, 50% to 43%, with 111 votes. The banner will be changed back tomorrow. Gracias for playing!
update sábado, el decimoquinto de enero, 21:07 after reading this post again, i have to say...i agree with the voters. too much history there! and to hell with those offended by it! as if i really have a ton of sympathy for people who identify with the "master race"!

I love the "grrr" in the last one; gets me hot. Besides, I think it evokes hipster irony and has a postmodernist bent.

Alright, now I know the code. I'm easily confused. Being a non-Aryan Aryan, but also having been identified by and compared to(according to others, o.k. more than once)your alternate Aryan definition/code I am more confused than normal. I guess that means I have to stick with the Aryan moniker. Once upon a time, I was probably an Aryan Aryan Aryan. Not all 8 year olds stay 8 forever though, just the Aryan Aryan Aryans.

Since the real Aryans are probably smarter than the pretend Aryans, I go with the Minutemen.

Richard: "(and, hell, even a Minuteman is smarter than 10 Aryans!)."
Richard, if a Minutemen was smarter that ten aryans won't it be better to write "smarter than ten minutemen" (and thus 100 aryans)? :D
Nez, this is a tough poll. Up until last week, I would have voted Aryans... but now new evidence has been entered into the trial and I have to think on this a little more [luisa furrows brow and stares into nothingness].
Although, I do enjoy that the "prettier than Lou Dobbs" part is not up for debate! Maybe you should just stick with that. Didn't you get the memo?--brains don't *really* matter. ;P

As much as I'm attached to that Aryan line, we gotta fight the anti-migrant haters more than the fringe Neo-Nazi's. Although the troll selection was tempting =).

Use a randomizer.........create a small d'base of various tag lines you or your readers like, and let fate take over as to which line pops up when a page view occurs.

Well...hard to decide, minutemen is more directly political to your locale, but aryan is a bit more global as white aryan supremacist eejits are all over. But...as lou dobbs is US specific then minuteman matches that...could be time to flip a coin.

It is a good thing you don't live in the South because I would be forced to do a write in vote, Smarter than Ten Rednecks. However, the Minutemen will do.

Aryans scans better, has better rhythm, more mellifluous. Minutemen is very marchy, know what I mean? Min ute men. Stops the swing. Aryans much better.
Speaking strictly from a poetic sense and skipping the politics. Politically, I still prefer the Aryans, they cover the modern, the classic and the ancient.
Go Aryans!
