More M:tG at FARK
Over at FARK, folks are working on a series of Magic: the Gathering cards devoted to political and cultural issues.
Some are better than others of course, but a few really shine for me:
Personal fave below the fold:

Aww, YEAH! It seems like just
Aww, YEAH! It seems like just yesterday I was playing that game, when in reality is was TEN... FREAKING... YEARS... AGO.
So as I look at these cards
So as I look at these cards on FARK, I imagined a real game that should be created! It would involve all the current polical things and all that cultural stuff and the cards would be funny as hell. They should make a real game like this but alas it will never happen. So I must restort to wishing I had the Theodore Roosevelt Card and wishing I can con someone into giving me the rare Saun Juan Hill card.
However I think they should stop making everything that is semi popular into a card game. Like for instance every Japanese cartoon that comes to America or Harry Potter. If they do this I at least would wat too see Transformers CCG and SEX CCG.
BS,
BS,
How about "SEX *with* Tansformers"? Hah? HAH?
As for wishing that certain events or situations are games, card-based or otherwise, that makes you an utter fucking dork.
And yet, nothing compares to the epic stuggle fought on these very pages.

BS, that's not that bad an
BS, that's not that bad an idea. If you were equally insulting to all sides, it could be rare fun. A friend of mine forced me at gunpoint to play magic, and if I recall correctly, there were five colors for the cards, each representing a type of magic.
You could line up the political forces like this:
Red: heartless conservatives from that senator from maine in the middle all the way to the John Birch society.
Blue: goofy liberals from the DLC to Noam Chomsky
Grey: the soulless bureaucracy that exists independent of partisan politics.
Yellow: The Media. Aligns typically with blue, but is ultimately destructive of all forces but its own. Includes news, bloggers, movie stars and people who are famous for being famous.
White: The sheeple. Aligns typically with red, but must be influenced for any other color to win.
Black: Wingnuts and black helicopters. Aligns typically with grey, but can be a dangerous weapon to use on anyone.
Well GeekLethal I thoughtit
Well GeekLethal I thoughtit was apparent that I myself am a proud geek/dork. I mean whoelse but me buys the following books.
1. So you want to be Canadian: All aout the most fascinating people on earth

3. Surviving a Robot uprsing.
these three books in and of themselves qualify me for major dorkdom. However book number 2 was bought in all seriousnes of whats to come!
Bucket,thats an amazing Idea. I was thinking for colors but you did a splendid job! Now if Wizards of the coast will pick it up!
