It's HARD to be humble . . . I figured you'd jump on that part, and sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere for those services. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Without regard to the fact that you beating the shit out of could put it in self-defense mode next time you came close? For that little scratch? Here's hoping the people around you are quite so rash when you make mistakes that cause them injury. People are animals, and most would be a bit more tolerable if they got some humility bitten into them once in awhile. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Didn't you hear? They got a bailout weeks ago. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

We did it...we survived 8 years of that fucktard! A bit bruised, battered, and generally beat down from the experience (I blame his voters), we can finally close out this dark chapter in our nation's history and look forward to a chance of improvement under a leader with substantially more live brain cells.

. . . as evidenced by my frequent combination of Tevas and socks. Still, I can't imagine why anyone would pick that carebear dress that Michelle Obama wore on election night. Since then, for some reason, I assumed she fired whatever consultant told her that thing would look good, so I was shocked when I watched a little TV coverage before coming to work and saw what she's wearing today. Why in the hell would she want to become First Lady while dressed as a couch??! Seriously . . . WTF is that thing she's wearing?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I don't think I've ever seen anyone intentionally leave a chest-strap half routed with a plan to finish it later. Much more common someone getting distracted while routing their chest strap, be it by internal or external factors, and simply doing it incorrectly. If they're also distracted during the gear check and it "looks right", well, they're in need of assistance from someone not so distracted. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I agree with this in principle and donate to my local planned parenthood on a monthly basis as a result of my opinion. However as long as the federal government is involved in paying welfare (which I think should be controlled by the states), they, and the federal tax-payers, have a vested interest in preventing unplanned pregnancies. To this end, if money spent at Planned Parenthood avoids higher costs on welfare programs, it's a "good" expenditure. It's all about the return on investment, which is abysmal when the subject is abstinence-only education. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why? Some contraceptive methods promoted by Planned Parenthood are better than 99% effective. Abstinence-only education is approximately that ineffective. I'd rather my tax dollars go to something that works than something that doesn't. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yeah, that one was a total shock, but not a bad way to go I guess. Of course if art imitates life, there's a happy ending coming up that she's gonna miss as a result of taking the easy way out. Blues, Dave You mean like they find out they went to the wrong Earth and everything is actually just fine? Sure, or something along those lines, e.g. cylons & humans have evolved in parallel universes, and the earth they just visited is in the cylon version. Or simultaneous to the cylon development and infiltration of human ranks, they've been developing a planet where the two factions can coexist without making the same mistakes as before, or . . . or . . . or . . . Perhaps Starbuck's role of "harbinger of death" is actually to eliminate the two independent factions as they merge into one universal community (though this would be unexpected for her character). I really have no idea what direction they're going to take this, but I'm excited to find out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It's a Racer...it would have stunk even if that hadn't happened, and the owner's lucky the dog didn't do worse to it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

One complaint about last night's episode...did anyone else find the drinking/gun scene between Adama and Tigh to be COMPLETELY contrived? The acting and dialogue in that scene were awful to the point that it was uncomfortable to watch. Also, did Adama sober up at some point before going to the bridge to plot out the next leg of the journey? If so, I missed it, because I was thinking, "Now THAT is drunk driving!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If she's a Cylon, how dead is she? Blues, Dave She is dead alright, they nuked the resurrection hub and no way she was resurrected before because even Cylons don't know the final 5. Either way, finale should be good - story and CGI-wise. Supposedly, they are dumping some major $$$ into final-whatever battle which makes HD-geek inside me giggle like a 6-yr old girl. Grrr....sci-fi channel doesn't broadcast in HD here. Don't they know I bought myself a new, bigger TV for my birthday last month?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Are you thinking of Laura Roslin? I think they were somehow part of each other's sub-conscious, which would by supported in the theory that everyone's either Cylon or in a Cylon experiment of some sort. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Congress gave Bush permission to make a decision to take us into combat (without a declaration of war, which irritates me). Still, it was Bush who decided to go to war, and he doesn't get to blame anyone else for making that decision for him. I blame Congress for aiding and abetting, but the final responsibility lies with the guy who chose to use the power he'd been (irresponsibly) given. By contrast, Obama has not decided to issue reparation checks, nor has he, to my knowledge, directed any black preachers to state that he will. That's a pretty big difference.

If it didn't work, he wouldn't have had to lie about Boomer's test result. Hey, didn't he test Ellen too? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Muttley & I raised that possibility last night, and I do consider it possible, but unlikely, given Gaius Balthar's test that distinguished cylons from humans. They could reconcile this by stating his test was for genetic variations for something like that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I was really disappointed that they were making Starbuck out to be the 5th, as it was entirely too predictable. So I was pleasantly shocked by the sudden finger pointed at Ellen and have absolutely no clue what that makes Starbuck. I really love/hate the fact that we have 9 episodes left (love that they're sticking with the intended plot & timeline, hate that it's almost over). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Reminds me of blaming Bush for the bad intel on Iraq. Bush invaded another country. Obama has not written a single reparation check. How are these things remotely similar to each other? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

How many of the dollars he's spending were donated *specifically* to pay for the inaugural expenses? Would you suggest he not spend those dollars on the activity for which they were donated? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I agree. I thought the story was thought-provoking and very good. The movie itself, while not quite all it could be, was still well worth the time. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Funny you mentioned that. When I was working in TX, for a while I dated a girl I met at the Mensa Annual Gathering in Dallas. I can't imagine dating any of the Mensa members I've met...those people are wierd. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Briefly in a Skyvan over Lost Prairie, then a bit more at West Plains Skydiving, then a bit more at the Silvertip Skydivers annual boogie, and then for good back at West Plains. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Exactly. Why would anyone be happy about a withdrawal or reduction of a Constitutional right? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
