eRepublik Crowd Polling

For some strange reason this song calls to me... I was trolling through YouTube and came across various covers and though that this would be a good thing to bring to my article. So here are eight choice versions of this tune for your listening and voting pleasure. I'll keep the winner in a safe place for future use. Of some kind. *shrug*

There is also a thread at the eUS forum if you have access to that and would prefer to vote there: LINK

Links to the various versions (all youtube, no Rickrolls here!):
1. Faith No More
2. Cake
3. The Flaming Lips
4. Black Sabbath
5. Tesla
6. Daft Punk Mashup
7. The Ruckus (ska)
8. Solo Ukelele (!!!)

I personally love ska music and version #7 kicks ass - all those horns are just freaking awesome in sound. Version 8 is unreal... just... unreal. Version 1 is so full of win it's not funny. As much as I love Daft Punk I will have to vote for Faith No More's cover. And before I get flamed for not picking the original, well, I've seen FNM several times in my younger days as they were a San Francisco band and played locally for years.






My Congressional Voting Record, 26 Dec - 5 Jan

I will be publishing my Congressional voting record every week (I originally planned for Wednesdays but that schedule slipped...) . I believe that this is an important part of being accountable as a Senator and allows all of you the opportunity to see some of what goes on in Congress. Notice that Congressional votes are never really close. This is because most of what Congress does in game is pretty much moot. The action happens in committees.

The Mensch List™

Coming Saturday, another addition to the Mensch List. Last week's recognized Mensch was Ligtreb. I will recongize another US citizen that deserves accolades and applause for his or her efforts to make the eUS a better place to play eRepublik. Above hard work and dedication, however, must exist a personality of kindness, integrity and honor. In short, the Mensch List™ is meant to inspire each and every one of us to work harder, be nicer, and above all realize that we're all in this together.

Past Mensch List Honorees:

1. Ligtreb - Honored January 8, 2009.




E Pluribus Unum. From Many, One.



I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: Together we have strength beyond measure. Do your part. Follow DoD orders. Fight with weapons. Maintain your wellness. SUPPORT THE CAUSE.
