More El Camino Awesomeness...

So yeah... long time no talk. I've been thinking more about how awesome El Camino Republicans are... then I see this Heineken ad during the NBA Playoff (damn you Orlando)... and I starts to be thinking about the tunes of an El Camino. Contrary to what you might believe... El Caminos celebrate a whole catalog of tunes... not just the classic/southern fried rock, metal, grunge and country... nah dogg.. El Caminos dig a good beat.... and usually some old school sounds... somthing like the following...


Hell yeah... damn that's a great one. Not sure what Biz Markie's politics are... but he would make an awesome El Camino...

El Camino Awesomeness

So... here's another for you...

AWESOMENESS FACT #2 - Now... music is a major element of the El Camino Republican lifestyle. Pretty much... they loves to rock out. We're not sure what the exact theme song is for El Caminos... but we're pretty sure that... if you're ever chillin in the neighborhood, trying to find a good parking spot at the store... or just straight up cruisin'... and hear this song blasting out of the speakers of a bad ass Riveria or something...

Chances are you just had an encounter with an El Camino Republican.

Sing along everyone... Never. "Never!" Never. "Never!" Never never, never be...

So. Freaking. Good.

HOLY CRAP… Dudes, what a weekend. Wow. Like Rush Limbaugh, we have a huge stack of stuff for you, in the randomous tradtition that we can only hope… pleases the QCI gods (our wonderful and loyal QCI-ders). Let’s try to line by line this… minus all of the logistical stuff… because QCI roll like that. Here we go.
SATURDAY - PALIN IN DES MOINES – Huge crowd… over 7500 for sure. Saw lots of new faces at the rally. Lots of women. Very encouraging vibe with this event.
PRESS PASS? Yea, some how the World’s Crappiest Blog scored a press pass.
IOWA ISN’T CLOSE? Um, they spend that much money in Iowa for a 3 stop tour. They just don’t with this much time left on the clock. Oh don’t believe me? Obama will be here on Friday… on Halloween? Is that some kind of omen?
INPLAY – Basically became the unofficial downtown HQ for QCI this weekend… I recommend the fried pickles… and it’s a great place to catch a game. Also, they have the Deal of No Deal arcade game… which is just as addictive as watching the show… minus the whole annoying contestants.
REAGAN DINNER – Good to see many of you loyal QCI-ders out there. Thanks for the kind words… high fives and insults. Shout out to D-Chung, Yoda, Real Sporer and all of the other brothas from otha mothas in the LBC (that’s Long Beach Crew… if you don’t know).
BROWNBACK SPEECH – The good Senator from Kansas knocked one out Saturday night. He really did. Best one I’ve heard out of a candidate in a while.
STEVE ROBERTS – Great tributes… here’s to you man. Thanks for all of your service to the party.
LIGHT ‘EM UP CHUCK – Senator Grassley was on like Donkey Kong. If you weren’’t fired up from that, the pilot light is out.
LATHAM – Is gonna win. Someone tell the DMR and all the other media outlets. The real race is in the 2nd. GO 3M GO!!!
DOS RIOS – Post game show for the dinner… decent place. It’s no Flanagan’s… but honesty, is there anything really close to Flanny’s? Didn’t think so.
NEW DAILY - Before we get to the the official QCI Concert Review… how about a new daily feature. “GASP!!!!! …a DAILY FEATURE?!?!?! You think you can keep up G$?” …um yeah, I can… ASS…
FACEBOOK STATUS OF THE DAY – Thought this might make a good daily hit on QCI… we’ll keep ‘em anonymous, to protect the innocent. Here’s our first Facebook Status of the Day.
“Someone is… going to paddle Rachel Rays fat ass if she says "Yumm-O" one more time.” Well done.
METALLICA OPENING ACTS - Can you believe it has been since 1996 that Metallica has played in Des Moines? Damn… me neither. To open it up was The Sword and Down. Never heard The Sword but love myself some Down. Both didn’t disappoint.
SIDE NOTE ON THE NEW ALBUM – Are Metallica fans going soft? Well maybe… there have been numerous reports and rantings on message boards about the production mixing of Death Magnetic. Claiming that it was mixed too loud. Huh?
PEOPLE WATCHING… at the concert rivaled the State Fair. What do you think the over under on mullets was?
GREAT SHOW – It really was. Losts of new stuff played… and a great mix of the old stuff. Cool custom DSM Metallica shirts and scored the official James Hetfield wrist bands.
WORDS TO LIVE BY… WITH JAMES HETFIELD – He says this at most of the shows… a mid point of the show… during a break, he shouts, “ARE YOU ALIVE?” Crowd screams, “YES!” James asks… “HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE?” To answe your question James…. Pretty freakin awesome.

AND FINALLY… Back to the KIOA catalog… from the CD I won for being the 15th caller with the correct answer on Dick Bartley… Here’s Bill Withers…

Do yourself a favor…

Crank this sonofabitch up!!!!!!!

WHAT KIND OF REPUBLICAN ARE YOU?

Sup QCI-ders. How are ya? Fantastic then. Today, for my 100th post, I thought I would stir up a little discussion. I have this little comment thinger at the bottom of these posts for you to chime in. This should get fun.

There’s been a lot of chatter out there about what kind of Republican one person is and what kind of Republican someone else is. Country Club Republicans, Wacko Republicans, Right Wing Republicans, Republicans on a Stick, Reagan Republicans, Bush Republicans, Grassroots Republicans, Harry Republicans, Hairless Republicans, Good Looking Republicans, Ugly Republicans, Moderate Republicans, Republicans in Moderation, Crazy Republicans, Cool Republicans, Blueberry Flavored Republicans, Republicans who wear Crocs, Southern Republicans, Wierdo Repubicans, Freaky Deaky Republicans and so on, and so on.

But today I want to highlight a few factions of the party you may not have heard about. Why? Because we don’t bring that weak ass stuff up in this humpy bumpy at QCI, that’s why. They are never heard of or represented. Which is sad. These Rs need some lovin’ too. So here’s a huge heaping portion of love from the World’s Crappiest Blog.

BIG REPUBLICANS – These are one of my favorites. The ones who claim they are “Big Republicans.” My buddies will usually introduce me to these folks. Here’s a quick little play by play on how I meet these “Big Republicans”…

BUDDY OF MINE: G$, you’re a political guy. You gotta meet Biff, he’s a Big Republican.
G$: Oh yea? Big Republican, huh. Like a super sized Republican?
BUDDY OF MINE: Nah man, he’s huge Republican. I’m sure you know him. Biff, meet my buddy G$. He’s a big Republican too. You guys probably know each other.
G$: Hey man. Nice to meet you. So you’re a big R huh?
BIFF: R?
G$: Yea a Big Republican. What campaigns have you volunteered for? Or do you just send money?
BIFF: Uh, volunteer? Um, well, I don’t really get active. I’m conservative. Love listening to Rush Limbaugh. Were you listening today? Rush had this great point. You know where I can get a McCain yard sign?

All jokes aside, I love Big Republicans… we count on those guys for votes. I just wish I had a dollar for every time I met one.

EMO REPUBLICANS – There kind of punk rockers… dress a little funny… Tight jeans, long bangs, studded belts, and wearing something black. You look at these Rs and you think, “Skate or Die!” But always seem sad. They say things like, “Being a Republican is my only love in this cruel existence.”

ELCAMINO REPUBLICANS – The most forgotten and least cared about in our party. Why you ask? (El Camino is Spanish for… “the camino” btw) It’s because all factions of the party are jealous… jealous of their sweet hair. Business on top and party in the back! Seriously, how many elections would we win if the El Camino Republicans took over the party? Um, throw me a sleeve less Skynard shirt, a Pabst and a mullet… and I will show you landslides. Look for your favorite candidates to be sportin’s some sweet hair soon. This is the October surprise. The Mullet. Forget the issues of the day. I can hear undecided voters right now, “You know I really don’t like his stance on the War in Iraq… but man, that guy has some sweet hair. I’m gonna vote for him.”

I think I’m a cross between an El Camino and a Rock ‘n Roll Republican. You know, I heard this was a classy event, but I came to party. So what kind of Republican are you QCI-ders?
