A lot of people are celebrating right now because America has finally elected a black president. While I'm happy to see this milestone pass in my lifetime -- and I'd had my doubts -- I frankly am even more delighted and amazed that the American people finally looked past the smokescreen of...

God help the GOP if Palin is the nominee in 2012. I think that's the clearest sign that a significant percentage of the Republican base is completely off their rockers. On a related note...

They gave me a two-pill cocktail at first, but it wasn't strong enough. Then they gave me the good stuff, the $20-a-pill power pills.

Sacrifice? No... I honestly think that the kook-wing of the Republican Party believes that Sarah Palin represents their best chance in 2012. :eek: McCain is their sacrifice, their Bob Dole, the GOP version of Walter Mondale. In a year when everything is stacked against you, run the...

So last week, I had a cough. Usually, when I get sick, I get a cough, maybe a stuffy or runny nose along with it, not a big deal. I fight through it, then I get better. This time... not so much. Last Wednesday, I got out of bed, and then climbed right back into it, and the next time I saw...

Actually, the space elevator thing is a great idea. I think they could build it on a platform in the middle of the ocean to avoid the political angle... it would revolutionize life here on Earth, and truly propel us to the stars.

I do find it somewhat hard to legitimately argue in favor of continuing the US space program. What are the top three arguments in favor of further funding?

I have an idea for the next movie that is so good, I may just want to run out right now and copyright it. You ready? Here it is: Indiana Jones and the City on the Edge of Forever Indy, time travel, Edith Keeler, the Nazis... it's gonna be box office gold!

Nonsense. I have my manservant wear it on a silver chain around his neck. And I always have a lit candle or two available as I work through .NET code.

Yeah, but wasn't Bald Guy a little too weird? Didn't they go a bit overboard trying to show just how "alien" he was???

Vader. The super-cool concept figure for Darth Vader. It's great. I like it. See, I was doing that whole "Theme from Shaft" thing there, and, uh... :(

Ummm... yeah, I'd say it probably wasn't anything. Probably a weather baloon, or maybe ball lightning. Nothing for you to worry about. If you could just look right here...

Uh... you know, I have to admit... Fringe is starting to lose me. I mean, sure, I like the main three actors, that's all fine and good... but none of them really stand out for me. (Aside from Dr. Bishop, who is still a bit too one-dimensional for my taste.) If there's something better on...

What about Vader? He's one bad mother -- SHUT YO MOUTH! I'm just talkin' about Vader!
