Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that I am a big fan of Science Fiction. Two of my favorite entertainment sources are the Terminator Movie series and the Sci-Fi channels production of Battlestar Galactica, which is entering its final season.

Of course he hasn’t stated where he is going to get the cash to do this. [...]

An AP article is reporting that in Boston a convicted murderer whom previously won a lawsuit in 2000 that forced the Dept. of Corrections to treat the individual for gender identity therapy has now sued the state again, trying to force them to do a sex change operation.

They have already released and/or allowed several starting members of their 2007 offense to exit via free agency. Already gone from the offense are left-guard Ruben Brown (4 years), right-tackle Fred Miller (3 years) and wide-receiver [...]

Well it is not exactly a mile-wide flaming moat accompanied by Razor Mesh/Electric fences, nuclear explosive landmines and mounted Redback 40mm automatic weapons but after a long delay (and as with most things involving government projects – Over Budget) the Department of Homeland Security is evidently set to authorize the experimental Project 28 virtual fence [...]

I was reading on QCOnline an article about the current Dilbert comic strip. I am a regular reader of the Dilbert strip.

Get out the Mt. Dew, pop the popcorn and break out the peanuts for the only commercial free show of the February sweeps month. But you will not find it on your television. Tonight (around 6:43 pm US central time zone) is the last chance folks will have to see a total eclipse of the [...]
