January is usually a slow month for video game releases, due to the glut that people usually purchase around the holidays. Come February and March, however, the release pace picks up significantly, and 2013 is no exception.
This year’s slate includes a number of Triple-A releases, more than a few of which are sure to be on any gamer’s radar. So, let’s take a look at some of the big names coming out in the first quarter of this year. Continue reading
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I was a member of a fraternity while I was in college. This article from the National Review Online, titled “Are Frat Brothers Natural Conservatives?”, came across my radar and immediately piqued my interest.
I’ve seen a handful of responses to this article, but so far I haven’t read anything from anyone that was actually a member of a fraternity. So, I thought I’d chime in with my own view of conservatism in the Greek system. Continue reading
Over the weekend, Politico published an update from the RNC conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. Over the course of the article, the various Republican party members and leaders interviewed insisted that the 2012 elections weren’t a rejection of the GOP’s policy platform; rather, it was simply that the GOP’s messaging was poor and that no policy changes were needed.

You probably read that title and thought to yourself, “But MonkeyBiz, we reelected a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate; how could the GOP steal an election they mostly lost?”. To answer that question, I’d like to turn to my good friend Morpheus: Continue reading
While I was wandering around the internet, I came across an op-ed from Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s chief strategist. Upon reading it, I knew at once that I could not allow this document to go unmocked.
Stuart Stevens, prepare your body. You’re about to get FJM’d. Continue reading
As I’ve mentioned in The Daily Sausage on more than one occasion, the Republican party is absolutely overrun with grifters and snake oil salesmen. New York Magazine‘s Jonathan Chait has an excellent book that covers this in detail: “The Big Con: Crackpot Economics and the Fleecing of America”.
However, extolling the virtues (and there are many) of Jonathan Chait are not why we’re here.
Rather, we’re here to discuss an immensely fascinating look at what happens when conservatives pull back the curtain and realize they’ve just been hoodwinked to the tune of a billion dollars and a national election. Continue reading
