OK QCI-ders… we’re getting to what is known over here at the QCIHQ as Metalli-Weekend… the new album is out and glorious… and our heroes of metal will soon be in Des Moines. As promised, we would try to smush Metallica and all things randomnous together. We’re also going to try to get some heavy discussion… so chime in… seriously dudes… I’m the only crappy blog out there who is on the lowest of low security when it comes to cmments… so let’s get chirping.

I’ve been asked a ton of times… “G$, what’s your favorite Metallica song?” My honest answer… it depends. Depends on the mood, situation, ect. I also have a top 5 going at all times… it’s always changing. So today, I will reveal… my top 5 Metallica songs and top 5 things going on out there… let’s see how this works. …IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

STORY 1: QCI EXCLUSIVE - THE WORLD’S CRAPPIEST BLOG CALLS THE RACE IN THE 4TH DISTRICT
With no precincts reporting, QCI is calling the race for the 4th Congressional District seat to Tom Latham. Yes… we know this a bit jumping the gun. But for real… Team TL is run the best campaign of Latham’s career… Becky Green-who is out of money… and is noga… noga… not gonna win. You heard it here first. Did we jump the gun? Use and abuise the comment section.

SONG 1: ENTER SANDMAN – LIVE FROM THE FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE – 1992
One of the best live version of this song… I think… just by crowd reaction.

STORY 2: SENATE DEBATE
Reed comes out swinging and Tom Harkin is pissed. Hey Tom Tom, did you realy think you were gonna get a pass on this debate? While you may think you are at Grassley status… um… you ain’t there yet. Anyone watch it? What di you think?

SONG 2: NO REMORSE
Just like Reed last night… no remorse, no regrets… and one of my favorites from the Kill ‘Em All album

STORY 3: THE CHIEFS REALLY SUCK
No question about it…. The quarterback situation…. Larry Johnson… Tony Gonzalez and everything in between… good news is we can get rid of King Carl when this is over.

SONG 3: TO LIVE IS TO DIE
Yea… just like being a Chiefs fan… love this one…

STORY 4: SUPER DUPER SATURDAY FOR GOP THIS WEEKEND
So you get McCain-Palin visits and the Reagan Dinner… who’s going?

SONG 4: THAT WAS JUST YOUR LIFE
One of the greats from Death Magnetic… WOOT!

STORY 5: NO HAWKS THIS WEEKEND
Which kind of sucks… Hawkeye Hooliganism is the wave of the Future…

SONG 5: NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
Metallica, Football and Cold Beer… nothing else matters…
