And Cindy is Ellen.
The parallels are striking, even beyond the physical resemblance. Some minor differences are allowable under artistic license:
Tigh is old and balding and all he knows is the military
Ellen is blond, about half his age and was suspected of being a robot
Even Tigh concedes that Ellen can resemble a whore
Tigh was a [...]

I have the greasiest freaking fingers on the planet, and my black 5th Generation iPod is perpetually filthy, unless I wipe it incessantly on my pants. My new iPhone? Always looks pristine.
Two things:
1. Choose white. Trust me, it looks better in real-life than it does on the Apple Website. With the chrome side & Apple logo, [...]

Works lousy in a blog post, but great in Gmail at least.

Hopefully this will help bring this humanitarian travesty to an end.
Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir may be charged with genocide, the Sudanese ambassador to the United Nations told CNN.
The ambassador said Friday that the International Criminal Court has indicated to Sudanese officials that al-Bashir may be charged over the five-year campaign of violence in the [...]

In my mind, no. There’s a difference between ‘developmentally disabled’ or ‘mentally handicapped’ (for people who have Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, etc.) and ‘retarded’ (for people who are stupid). But, because I know and understand sensitivities around the term, I would never use the word ‘retarded’ around developmentally disabled people. But in other company, I [...]

I just spent 2 hrs waiting for a routine blood test. I stress waiting, because I didn’t actually get my blood drawn. I gave up when I did the math and realized I would have to spend at least another hour waiting.
My doctor has outsourced simple bloodwork to a company called LabCorp. You can’t make [...]

You know Barack’s going to take some serious heat for this. Read the video comments.
It’s no secret that the nativists in this country aren’t too intelligent. If they had a few more functioning brain cells, they’d realize that expanding your mind’s capacity with additional mental challenges (such as learning a foreign language) when it’s still [...]

This is extremely cool. The guy used a lawnchair to build an airship that carried him 235 miles (from Oregon to Idaho) that was lifted into the sky by a bunch of helium-filled balloons. He periodically shot balloons with a BB gun to maintain the right altitude. He landed safely 9 hrs after liftoff.

Did you know that HIV-positive immigrants can not become US citizens? Did you know that the US is one of a handful of countries (including the Sudan and Saudi Arabia) that doesn’t allow visitors, much less immigrants, into the country who are HIV-positive (without special permission)?
I didn’t. But now that I know, I’m outraged.
Upon a [...]

It’s always been amusing to me that Fox News claims to be “fair and balanced”, when it is clearly anything but, but this gun is smoking so badly that there’s an air quality advisory in effect for a full 50 mile radius around their headquarters.
The fact is that the people the network caters to are, [...]
