Quantumushroom Sets Terror Alert Level To Gold!!!
(pictured above, quantumushroom at his ranch picking ripe guns off his gun tree)
Rugged individualist, dissenter, VS citizen journalist and strict constructionist - quantumushroom - soldiers on against the combined forces of communism, libertarianism and scienceism here on the sift. Not one to take a hand out, he has pulled himself up by his own bootstraps - defying all known laws of physics - and earned himself a gold star.
Beyond his trademark political commentary and keen eye for videos, he also likes to write down little bits of wisdom on his page for the rest of us (I hope).
Here are a 5 things I've learned from qm:
1) Freedom isn't free, but you can actually get it pretty cheap on Ebay.
2) You have the right to your own opinion, but you do not have the right to your own facts. All facts must be leased from their respective intellectual property right holders on a month to month basis.
3) There is no such thing as a free lunch*. *except at Denny's on your birthday and Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4pm for children under 5.
4) If you are conservative when you are young, you have no heart. If you are liberal when you are an old, you have no brain. If you are libertarian at any point in time, you lack another body part of which I cannot mention in mixed company.
5) WOLVERINES!!! (I have no idea what this means.)
Mock him at the risk of your own peril, as I suspect that even the most liberal among us know in our hearts that he is right.
In the name of bipartisanship, congrats fellow American.

I appreciate your alternative voice on VideoSift QM - Thanks for your contributions to the Sift and congrats.*
* weasly liberal disclaimer: even though I almost never agree with you
NicoleBeeCongratulations! May you pity many more fools.
dotdudeMay you continue to bring balance to the Sift - whatever that means.
quantumushroomI'm very happy I didn't visit any pr0n 2.0 sites an hour earlier; I've retained enough bodily fluid to shed a tear.
This tribute reminds me of the time a puzzled Beast-Man, saved from falling off a cliff says, "Why did you rescue me, He-Man? I wouldn't have done the same for you."
The answer to Beast-Man's query comes from the hearts of Videosifters ("liberalsift, athesift," et al) and that answer is you are all as gracious and powerful as He-Man, only slightly more handsome, certainly twice as dumb. Beast-Man will be back next week to raise havoc. In the meantime, I love you all for the purest, most sinister reason: I have no choice.
Damn your charms!
May Darwin, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the ghosts of Lenin, Lennon and Karl and Groucho Marx bless you all and this site.

Uhhhh......
Well, anyway, congratulations.
dystopianfuturetodayOne thing qm and I agree on is that 80's cultural references are, like, so totally rad ass. But I see the sift universe more in line with, say, Voltron - with it's multiple robot lions synergizing into something greater than the sum of it's parts. He-Man is basically one big coming out story that never gets to the coming out part. Don't get me started on Orko, either, who is basically a walking-talking orifice.

videosiftbannedmeBravo, QM. A much deserved reward for being able to last longer than any of your other brethren. You've always been the most articulate of the bunch, at least.
You have a cold beer, shot, whatever floats your boat, and I'll do the same. (raises toast)
gwiz665QM ♥ seal ♣'ing.
Naw, I'm just pulling you legs. Congratulation, qm, you're a pillar of the sift. If people don't know you you are here, they've not been paying attention.
kronosposeidonThanks for helping to keep this place interesting, and for keeping your watchful eye on Hussein boy. He won't dare come out of the dhimmi closet with you around.
moodoniaCongratulations QM! Always thought provoking and a valuable part of the siftinuum!
NetRunnerCongrats QM, it takes quite a hard head to have stuck it out through all the abuse we've gleefully leveled at you.

E_Nygmasincere congrats on your quantum leap mr. mushroom! i raise a fist of glory in your general direction and thank you for all you've added as an alternative-opined voice on this great sift of videos.
EDDFor the sake of brevity, the essence of what the libruls said above, was "F*CK."
blankfistCongrats CaptainPlanet!
Here's hoping you reach diamond!
KevlarConmushulations!
RyjkyjCongrats QM. I have no doubt that was the longest uphill battle to a gold star that any sifter has ever experienced.
poolcleanerThis gram of mushrooms that I am ingesting is dedicated to you -- a week late, but better than never. When I talk to the universe, I'll put in a good word for ya.
