    Strangely enough, I didn't vote for "W" in the last election.

    I also didn't vote for "Lurch" (Jeebus, how the HELL does someone like Kerry wind up on the ticket? There are pretty decent, likeable Democrats that could actually WIN, if nominated).

    I voted for Bendarek (or whatever the frack his name is), the Libertarian candidate. I wonder how many who are flaming me did? Or did they "not throw their vote away" on Lurch?

    I am a registered Republican (lesser of two evils, etc.).

    So now we have our own versions of the Muslim world's "Morality Police"?

    The main problem I have with the GOP is this damn puritanism. This is the 21st century, dammit! If we force our views (actually their views, not mine. I have TB's of pr0n) on others, how are we better than the damn Islamist's?

    The GOP is liable to take it up the ass big time in November. Hopefully this will clear out some of the ancient old farts so we can later elect younger pols with more of a Libertarian bent.

    But I'm not holding my breath...

    A movie is nice to go to.

    You either haven't been to a movie in a while, or have a different idea of "nice" than I do. Between high prices for admission, higher prices for snacks, phones, ads, teenagers and adults who act like teens, going to the movies SUCKS now.

    I just wait for the DVD unless I have to take my kids to a movie. Then I expect it to be, well, a "kid" experience.

    Sure the Major looks like a sexpot, but she can crush your skull with a flex of her wrist, do back flips off a tall building and turn invisible.

    We are talking quasi-super hero. In leather and lingerie.

    BTW, in my opinion, season one ROCKED! So far, season two is boring. Too much story, not enough action. Looking ahead at the plot summaries, upcoming episodes may have more action. I hope so.

    Advice, not advise.

    You ask for ADVICE, the individual will then ADVISE you.

    And no, sadly your lack of spelling ability is not surprising. I read many, many emails each day that make my head hurt and my eyes cross.

    "More liberal" than NPR? What would that be, The New York Times or Pravda?

    The mainstream media is liberal and proud of it. They won't admit it for the most part, but they do let their guard down from time to time.

    Journalism is a "Liberal Art", after all.

    I am a registered Republican, but I don't agree with the party a lot of the time. I just disagree with the Democratic party even more often.

    Frankly, there is not much difference between the parties anymore. I prefer Libertarian, but the two parties pretty much have them shut out.

    What was wrong with the first price?

    It's called "Comparison Shopping". You shop around and compare prices. Sometimes you wind up paying less for the product. Amazing, huh?

    I know, I was surprised with the concept, too. Whoda thunk it?

  19. Re:Who really poisoned Kosh? on The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 1 · · Score: 1

    Since B5 was moved around so much it was random chance when I saw an episode, I missed a lot. One I did see had Kosh leaving his suit and flying up to save Sheridan (there was a bomb in a trolley car).

    He pretty much looked like an angel, or pure energy. The "telepathic suggestion" makes sense, since every species seemed to see Kosh as different, according to their own religions/myths.

    Ah, you're over engineering again. Remember KISS.

    "Push" can mean many things. A laser directed at an asteroid "pushes" it. Convertional or nuclear (antimatter?) devices exploded on an asteroid push it.
