So.... New Member Monday. We've got a bumper crop this week and I am completely unable to think of something Halloween/candy related to say in regards to this. I mean I guess new members are like sweet delicious candy to us... or something.

And now, a winning essay. This week it's from the Warhammer Swede and whatever program he used to generate this:
I just want a little editorial balance here. Permit me this forum to rant. International House of Paincakes demands that its sentiments be discussed in only the most positive light. To ensure that this demand is met, it sends its imperium after anyone who fails to show the utmost deference when planting big, wet, sloppy kisses on International House of Paincakes's behind. International House of Paincakes has allowed itself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by ethically bankrupt dunces, discourteous gadflies, and the most yellow-bellied lounge lizards you'll ever see while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system. I know the following is a cheap shot, but if one dares to criticize even a single tenet of International House of Paincakes's demands, one is promptly condemned as perverted, effete, malignant, or whatever epithet International House of Paincakes deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. Society must soon decide either to think outside the box or else to let International House of Paincakes introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods. The decision is one of life or death, peaceful existence or perpetual social fever. I can hope only that those in charge realize that International House of Paincakes is absolutely determined to believe that it is incompetent to question its words, and it's not about to let facts or reason get in its way.
How many of International House of Paincakes's flacks are nugatory, subversive jokers? I'm not comfortable throwing out an estimate that isn't backed up by specific data, but I do know that rigid adherence to dogmatic purity will lead only to disunity while we clearly need unity to protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of inaniloquent gauleiters. International House of Paincakes is emotionally insecure and has a difficult time admitting that it's wrong. If you doubt this, just ask around. Is it true that International House of Paincakes prefers defamation to dialogue? The evidence is clear and compelling for those who are willing to look with open eyes and open minds. Everyone else should note that the fact that International House of Paincakes has covertly been muddying the word "electroencephalographic" starkly suggests that International House of Paincakes does not believe its own rhetoric. If you don't believe me, see for yourself.
In a recent tell-all, a former member of International House of Paincakes's polity writes that "every perceptive person who examines the evidence objectively will understand that International House of Paincakes is unwilling to stand up for what is true and right if there is no obvious advantage to it in doing so". Those are some pretty harsh words even when one considers that International House of Paincakes has been known to "prove" statistically that it is patriotic to rot our minds with the hallucinatory drug of revisionism. As you might have suspected, its proof is flawed. The primary problem with it is that it replaces a legitimate claim of association with an illegitimate claim of causality. Consequently, International House of Paincakes's "proof" demonstrates only that I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that it is like a pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between International House of Paincakes and a pigeon is that International House of Paincakes intends to elevate its outbursts to prominence as epistemological principles. That's why the facts as I see them simply do not support the false but widely accepted notion that we have no reason to be fearful about the criminally violent trends in our society today and over the past ten to fifteen years. I'd like to finish with a quote from a private e-mail message sent to me by a close friend of mine: "No one can be right all of the time".
