    Isn't that double-headed eagle an old Byzantine imperial symbol?

    I want to say that the two heads represent the secular power of the emporer and his religious power as the Eastern Orthodox patriarch.

    @braak: I mean, I know it's on the Serbian flag, as many of you have mentioned, but there's actually a bunch of Eastern European countries that use something similar, and I think it's because of its relation to the Byzantine empire.

    @lobstr: Uh oh. The Serbs were behind the largest ethnic cleansing campaign in Europe since WWII, having killed 8,000 Bosnian Muslims and forcefully relocating 25,000 more in 1995. The Serbian logo is sort of an updated swastika in the redneck crowd. These people should not be in charge of anything.

    That Serbian eagle crest is not the only clue that this may be some kind of hoax.

    WTF does the site play Ravel's "Bolero" when you go there? You know, the symphonic piece closely associated with exotica as well as erotica? And it plays Bolero ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Not just a clip.

    I never thought I'd fall in with the grammar Nazis, but this post is just packed with silly errors. Come on, Andrew. Please double check your posts or have somebody else look at them before submitting them. A small error here and there is nothing to go crazy over, but your posts have more than their fair share.

    I have no problem with this. We need more militias. The government should fear its population, and the population should never fear its government.

    If it pisses off some liberals in the process, all the better.

    Out of the ruins
    Out from the Wall Mart
    Can't stand the dogs pooping this time
    We were the middle class
    Now, last generation
    We are the ones they kept behind
    And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
    Living under the fear till nothing else remains

    We don't need another McGriddle
    We don't need a subprime loan
    All we want is life beyond Mall of America
