I can't believe that anyone smart enough to be attracted to BSG can't figure this one out:

This is their "Earth," NOT our Earth.

That was not necessarily Lower Manhanttan in the last shot - but it was artfully made up to make you think so for awhile.

This is a story of a space-faring race who long long ago lost a "13th colony." (I've always loved how they stole Ursula K. Leguin's history of humanity in her novels "Left Hand of Darkness," and the others in that series). So who can say that the survivors of this Earth didn't fly away on what was left of their space ships, and find what became "our Earth"????

C'mon, this one's so easy a Hollywood science-friction writer can figure it out.

Why am I unsurprised that Ed Kilgore, who never had an original thought in his entire life, would be pushing this DLC bullshit?

Ed, your experience is as a DLC loser in every campaign you've ever participated in. Give it a rest. Go home. Find another line of employment. You otherwise-unemployable DLC types have been tossed on history's rubbish heap.

At least demonstrate you have the intelligence to recognize actual reality.

But don't go away mad. Just go away.

Recent polls show that 21% of potential voters would like to have her on the ticket, and 22% don't want her on the ticket. She brings nothing to the ticket, but she'll be useful as a campaigner.

Let her become the Lioness of the Senate while the DLC fold their tents and disappear into the night, never to be seen again.

Question: How can you tell if a Republican is lying?

Answer: Look and see if his lips are moving.

"Not only is it a Marxist lie, it is impossible for man is not God and he cannot change the Heavens."

Riiiiiight - that's up there with their other argument that "God will always provide." These people satirize themselves so much better than any professional could ever do. It's funny watching morons too stupid to know they are morons do so in public - of course it's not so funny when you realize a major political party owes all of its success to the support of these morons.

I see that 14 percent of Americans also believe the sun revolves around the Earth. That would equate with the 28% of Republicans who still think everything's peachy-keen.

They really do live in an alternate reality.

Not only was the Black Death good for the working class, it was good for the ruling class and the priestly class - or at least good in the long run, since it caused people to doubt that the lords and the cardinals knew what they were talking about, which resulted in the ultimate demise of their power. Also, the demise of lords and knights finally stopped the medieval wars, most particularly the Hundred Years' War.

The Black Death forced people to ask some basic questions about their assumptions of how the world works, which led in a century to the Renaissance, to the Reformation a century after that, and to the first public beheading of a king a century after that.

The Black Death was a good thing, if you weren't from the pig class.

It doesn't matter what McCain's incompetent campaign - which can't raise $12 million in a month - does. It matters that the RNC is raising $45+ million a month from the fat cats and special interests at $28,500 a clip, and that the 527 slime machine is up and running ("Hey! I have no control over what they're saying! You say they said whaaat about what Obama does to dogs at midnight of the dark of the moon??")

This ignorant Nazi-loving fuckwit has been allowed to spawn???

Every time I hear some one of the morons among my fellow Vietnam veterans say something stupid like how we could have won the war, I am reminded once again of the essential truth H.l> Mencken observed back during the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1924: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."

As someone who was there at the birth - the Tonkin Gulf Incident - I can tell you that was it not for a Third Class petty officer in the fire control tower of the USS "Maddox" and a young Lt (jg) assistant gunnery officer on the USS "Turner Joy", both of whom were aware there were no "North Vietnamese PT boats" anywhere in the vicinity, and who both refused to open fire when ordered to do so, one of those ships would have sunk the other, and things would have been considerably diffeent. The enlisted man was couert-martialled for refusing a direct order, and the young officer was refused promotion and left the Navy (he later became the original organizer of the GI antiwar coffeehouse movement that had a major role in organizing the kind of opposition that brought the war to a close) That's how the entire war was: the people running the show had no goddamned clue what was really going on, and did everything they could to get rid of those who knew what was really going on.

No wonder a failed trade-school boy like Johnny McCain, the man who started the Forrestfire and did more damage to the US Navy in five minutes in 1967 than the North Vietnamese did in ten years, would think it was a good war. That's how stupid you have to be to think such moron thoughts.

Better wingnuts, please. The fact this crew is lacking frontal lobes and opposable thumbs is way too obvious.

And please, no more "old Romans." Any old Roman running across you permanent pre-adolescents would run you through with his short sword for being the embarassment you are.
