Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- I Should’ve Been a Pastor… – Too many churches are thinly disguised cults of personality. Too many others think they can get the best pastor that money can buy, and that it’s a fine investment if it brings in the big bucks. Feh.
- Greenwald: “Jane Harman: Angry, partisan, civil liberties extremist” – Sauce for the goose.
- UAE royal caught torturing man on video – Wow. Look at us, with no moral high ground to stand on.
- A prayer for friends – Interestingly appropriate.
- Search Me – Slate – Why, all of a sudden, does the Supreme Court of the United States sound like an episode of "Beavis & Butthead"?
- In God We Rust: Final Thoughts on Battlestar Galactica – This analysis makes so much sense to me, and explains why I found the end of the series so jarringly unbelievable.
- Bizjournals: Highlands Ranch, Centennial among 250 most affluent U.S. cities – Denver Business Journal: – No wonder the parents are always coming to visit here. Though I note that two cities I used to live in (Claremont, Mountain View) both scored higher.
- Special Forces officer schools O’Reilly in debate on torture – Daily Kos TV (beta) – Poor Bill. He can’t get his guests to tell him that torture is okay in the increasingly hypothetical situations he keeps pushing forward, desperately trying to say that torture is okay. If only Obama would release all the magic memos (that folks have previously argued shouldn’t be released), then it would be proven, O’Reilly maintains. Yeah, right.
- Spaghetti Dogs: The Cheap and Cheerful Treat – This is remarkably clever. Kids would love it, as would SF-minded adults.

BSG: ~jaw drops~ EXACTLY! Yes, that right there! All of that! That is exactly why the last hour ruined everything from the point that the 6 walked in and ganked the human in the first few minutes of the Mini-series.
Other possible ending that would have been better then the actual ending:
-A slightly hungover Ellen walks in on Tigh taking a shower…and it was all a dream.
-Hera runs in to the CiC and blames everything on Tigh…and tigh says he would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
-Roslin tires of life, takes hte Arrow of Athena, spaces it, and tosses herslf out of the air lock dreaming of some bum she had sex with when she was younger.
-It was all a holodeck sim with Riker and Troi.
-It was all a dream of an autistic child of Mork and Mindy.
