Okay, folks . . .

1. Now that the Teabaggers have finally figured out what the term really means . . . they say it is a slur! I refer them to the phrase "hoist by one's own petard."

2. I love how the local Republican political vermin are crawling into the light of day . . . and nary can the term "Republican" be seen! They're all "conservatives" now. Like that carpet-bagging fetid pile of dingo's kidneys asshat Richard Pombo, who mis-represented my old congressional district a decade ago before getting punted like a demented gnome in 2008. I guess it takes more than a wee dram of, you know, political courage, to run on the brand so soiled and defiled by Shrub the Younger.

I guess he was a Rethug before being a Rethug was un-cool, right? As though filing the serial number off a gun changes its ability to kill . . . .

3. Second ICC 10 run yesterday for Tyrantos. Nice belt and bracers for his Enhancement spec dropped but nothing for his healbot set that he did not already have. Raid is going "Splat" on Rotface. Just need better execution on this guy. Still 5/12 ICC-10 Regular. Hope to Odin I can make the 25 on Sunday-day-day. Doing Mom's day stuffs tonight with Jameece, her mom and a friend.

4. Been watching some TV on DVD -- to wit: Babylon 5, Season 2. Two episodes to go, and it is as awesome now as it was when I first saw it in reruns on SciFi (the current designator for the network, "SciFy" makes me sick, BTW) almost a decade ago. It's a LotR-class epic space opera, the best damn SF show made in the 1990s, and outside of Star Trek TOS, is the best-of-all-time SF TV series not created by Joss Wheadon. Firefly is just as good or better in terms of acting, writing and effects; it takes the honors for the decade just passed with only token competition from Stargate . . . but Firefly never got the chance to tell this kind of story . . . if that was ever Joss' intent.

Thank Odin for Hulu.com and the WB's streaming of all five seasons.
