El Niño is Communist

So I go play a game with Joe. Illuminati. Very addictive. Very. So anyhow this game is about controlling a secret society trying to take over the world- or some other goal associatied with your Illuminati (group). You do this by controlling different groups and institutions around the world, everything from The Federal Reserve to The KGB to even Motorcycle gangs and punk rockers. Each of these groups have alignments and special powers, i.e. the Drug Dealers have a violent alignment, and give your Illuminati bonuses to controlling the Punk Rockers and Hollywood Stars. Oh yeah, each group has income too, needless to say the Drug Dealers have a heap of income.

What's funny is when I started this entry I googled "Illuminati" to put the link in the first paragraph. The amount of conspiracy theory sites I got was amazing. Go try.

Anyhow, I'm playing. I turn over a card, it's El Nino. It gives me +2 to destroy any group if I control El Nino. For some unknown reason, El Nino is Communist. How does that work? It was funny. Really.

As hurricane Charlie headed toward us, I had a moment of clarity. El Nino may be Communist, but Charlie was Republican. Charlie gathered strength, beat up Cuba just enough to keep them scared, and then headed straight for Key West. After beating up the commies and the gays, like any good Republican, Charlie went to Fort Myers to start his retirement. He pissed all over the streets there, beat up the poor people for being poor, and then died.

At least El Nino is an equal opportunity oppressor.
