Battlestar Galactica Rocks...............

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...... Scifi channel couldn't make anything worth a hoot and why would anybody want to remake that ole crappy series anyway. BULLSHIT..... First the original series is the reason myself and many, many more like myself got into scifi in the first place and therefore are now quazi computer geeks...... Starbuck was not only hot as hell but a hoot to boot....... lol. And second, well lets run this bye you for a bit and see if you would find it interesting........

Date: April 1st, 1945, NAZI Germany realizes that it has lost control of the war, One would think that they would fight to the end until Hitler surrenders or some other option happens. The Allied forces have the whole thing pretty much wrapped up. US and Soviet troops have linked up thus dividing German troops into two. From a military stand point there is no way that the Germans can win.

Date: April 2nd, 1945, Field Marshal Montgomery awakes to the news that the entire German force has vanished. Reports of the same are made all over Europe. Hitler has vanished along with every single last bit of resistance. The Allies force celebrates Victory in Europe and Japan falls without the US ever having to use the A-Bomb as they were caught off guard as well. The world is happy.

Span: April 3rd, 1945 to June, 1946, the world searches for what happened to the NAZI force and come up with nothing. The world makes all kind of reasons for this and of course none make sense.

Span: June, 1946 to December, 1986, Alabama just beat Washington 28-6 in the Sun Bowl. Brighton Beach Memoirs is just released and oh yeah, the world for the most part is having Christmas dinner and playing with there new toys. Ronald had met with Mikhail Gorbachev and told him tough shit about SDI and most things were pretty tense between the Russkies and the US and there world for the most part was scared shitless.

Date: December 25th, 1986, Time 1730 hours, you can remember that exact thing you are doing at that time. Your getting ready to head home from your Hubby's parents home and hopefully get away without your step Mom giving you a car full of left-overs. The drive isn't that bad, hop on US71 and head towards Fayetteville, AR. Bout 20 minutes south and your there. Sure enough "Mom" corners you in the kitchen and needless to say you go through the routine of making some to go plates. Hubby and "Dad" are in the living room watching the game when all is good in the world.

Date: December 25th, 1986, Time 1800 hours, The TV goes blank then static. You flip around and nothing, you turn on the radio and nothing but static there also. Then the lights go out. Now you start to get a bit worried. Hubby and "Dad" tell you and all the kids that there is nothing to worried about and they get on the phone to the Sheriff station. The phone is dead. Then you hear the loudest rumble you have ever heard. You run outside and you see a bright light coming from Fayetteville. Oddly enough it looks like a mushroom? Within a few minutes your dead along with your entire family and every person you have ever known.


Date: December 29th, 1986, Time 0948 hours, a sub that was stationed in the Indian Ocean gets a contact, its a group of ships the likes of witch they have never seen before. The crew is nervous as expected when form a far distance, the captain makes periscope depth and there in the cross hairs is a NAZI flag.

They have destroyed every city in America, the Soviet Union, just about every place possible and they were never noticed. How did it happen? How many ships are are there? Is there any one left on the planet to fight? Am I all that is left in the world to fight this new-old threat besides me?

Just remember that this was just the first 30 minutes of Battlestar Galactica. Substitute the Allied powers for the 12 colonies, the Germans for the Cylons, the lone Sub for the Battlestar Galactica and you got a start to an interesting new series. This show has everything from the end of humanity, war, love, deception, action, loads of hotties (Male and Female), treason, hero’s, tragedies and that was the first season. Don't pass this show up just because you don't like Scifi because this is possibly the best drama I have ever seen.

BTW: Time called it the best Show of 2005 period, gotta count for something.

Peace

For love of Country

I recently found that I am a bit naive in a wide array of matters. First I thought that while our government was capable of nasty things, there was no way possible that they could ever stoop as low at to spy on its own people. I mean my best friend and x-roommate is an x-navy seal so I know that big bad blue was capable of and for the most part did allot of naughty stuff and I really have no prob with that, hey what I don't know doesn't hurt me. However, I always that it was something like in Independence Day when the Prez said told the crazy quack (Julius Levinson) that Area 51 doesn't really exist and then Sec. Def Nimzicki that it did and the Prez asked how come he didn't know about it and he said plausible deniability? Well I'm ok with that because the Prez was not ever deceiving the public because he didn't know the truth. All good no harm no foul. Lots of stuff happen for good or bad and as long as the big guy isn't calling the shots, I'm somewhat ok. The Prez now admits that he is the one authorizing the illegal crap and that is very disturbing. You say that it shouldn't go on at all and weather he knew or not its wrong and I say correct it shouldn't happen at all. Lets be real, Iran-Contra bad, say what you will it save lives and avoided what at that time in history could have been a much nastier scuffle considering the big bad red dog was looking over Iran's shoulder and giving a helping hand. Well and bad thing happened and guess what, Ronnie could recall a thing about it, Ollie took the fall and we all went on like nothing happened because "the Prez didn't do anything illegal" ;-) Here the Prez openly admits to doing the bad stuff and is trying to claim that its legal which the entire world knows is false including him. I liked the days when stuff happened behind the backs of the people in power and now right out in the open. I say these are scary times. The US is the place where democracy rains supreme and peace and good will is had by all. I say this, I am no scholar but this isn't the type of peace and good will that I imagined back in civics class.

Peace Out..................

John Stewart is my hero...........

Awesome.........
might I say that again? Awesome.....
I had the pleasure of watching this thanks to the incredible powers of DVR. I must confess that I was a bit put off when he for the most part when Billy was on his show and Stewart was how shall we say, Easy on him. It appears that Mr. Stewart has taken the gloves off and I for one am most pleased to see. I say Bill O'Riley, your move.........

Something to keep in mind

Never jump out and surprise old people. They could die on you. This is very important to remember especially when at work. I accidentally jumped out at someone at work and went "wah" and it turned out to be an elderly person and I thought I had given them a heart attack. Well thank the stars the old timer didn't kill over but it reminded me that I shouldn't do that any more.

Peace

Happy Holidays

I have a great idea, let’s boycott The American Family Association for being dicks..... Is that a good enough reason to boycott? I mean we can boycott France cause they didn't want to send kids to die and we can boycott Target for "leaving the Christ out of Christmas" then is just being dicks a good enough reason to boycott them? I hope so but what is there to boycott? Do they even do anything or are they just dicks? Please let me know. The American Family Association Boycott begins now........... Any takers?
