Eureka has been pretty cool. Campy, but cool.... And they've been running it right after reruns of "Dead Like Me" which I didn't get to see when it first came on.
One of my kids and some of my friends are confirmed Stargateaholics, so there is another blip for them.
And Dr. Who. can't forget about that. Battlestar Galactica? could be good, but I've never watched.
poverty is relative. the 13 million US citizens (and illegals) living in poverty are better off than most middle class Mexicans. Want proof? go to Mexico. or Chile, or Argentina, or Zimbabwe, or Namibia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Pakistan, Tibet, Sri Lanka, or any of these "3rd World" countries.
Here, Poverty means you have to eat fast food alot and your car is old and broken down. Your shitty apartment is hot in the summer and kinda cold in the winter. Your job sucks and your kids go to a broken down public schools with Books that think that Physics stops with Einstein.
In the actual third world, Poverty means you live in a crate. You eat what you can hunt down and kill with your bare hands. You have no job or hope of one. Your kids not only don't go to school, but they help you hunt for food each day hoping they get to eat something. Phone? never heard of one. Computer? whats that? Books? for the rich only. Education? Forget it.
The US is so rich that our poor people have cellphones. 3rd world society? HAH!
or, more importantly, Jihadists claim they are being tortured when they are stripped naked and put in a room with naked women. To non-Muslims, this is.... well.... not torture. Heck, even gay men don't find it torture to be naked areound naked women. (boring maybe...)
The atomic bomb is the biggest failure of any weapon system in history. Its a failure as a deterrent, a failure as an attack weapon and a failure at defense in general. An atomic bomb is like having a gun that gives you AIDS every time you fire it. Sure, if you're lucky, you'll kill the enemy, but you are also going to die. So, you don't want to use it, and they don't want you to use it. In fact, the only person who would want to use it is a madman. Of course the only person who would want to start a war is a madman. So, what we have is the perfect weapon for madmen. Sane people don't need them. We don't need them.
Note that I'm not only not a liberal I've voted Republican every election since I was 18. I believe that a strong Conventional military is more than enough deterrent to ensure world peace.
We would have, if GWB had called the governor of Montana and told him he was sending the FBI to arrest a terrorist and the governor told him to piss off. Not only piss off, but we, the people of Montana support this person and everything he stands for. So, if you come in here, better come armed with more than just sun-glasses and cheap suits.
Then, GWB sends in a) the National Guard, or b) the Marines. In Afghanistan, he sent both. In Iraq he sent bombers first, then marines and army, followed by National Guard troops to help setup infrastructure. Of course, he got criticized for going into Iraq, for hitting Iraq as hard as he did, and for sending in National Guard troops to help setup infrastructure.
Personally I think that online games seem to foster racial discrimination in all types. In fact, they even encourage people to go out there and hurt others simply because of their race. This, "PVP" mode where humans are pitted against Orc's and Gnomes against Taurans is to be abhorred. I say that all races should be free to coexist in peace and tranquility while we fight the real enemies: Ragneros.

yeah... old people should stick to games that aren't so difficult on them. like checkers and shuffleboard. maybe dominos or croquet.
Ira
as a gnome warrior (with very spikey armor) I'd like to see you try that.
(very testy about gnome football jokes)
