In a sentence:
"I don't know why more people don't watch this show. It's so _fun._" --Jacob, of TWOP.

That was, for the record, meant sarcastically. I mean, yes, this was always the tv series willing to kill millions of people in its opening moments, including babies, but...people still used to enjoy themselves occasionally, y'know? There were, um, dances...and triad games, and the Wonder Twins doing daring piloty feats. And the sheer amusing wackiness of Baltar and HeadSix. And now...well, yes, I get why they're all angsting, but...
I said to ladybird97 last night, "You know the various LARPs that have as a point trying to really push the PCs to their psychological breaking points and get them to explore their inner traumas? You know how those sorts of games aren't so much my style?"

Yeah. If you like angsty inner depths, you'll love "Sometimes a Great Notion." But some of us would kind of like some reason to remember why we love all these characters.

From a Department of Interior employee writing to Talking Points Memo:

Just wanted to let you guys know that there was an all-hands meeting with the new Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, at 11am today.

The bullet points are:

- Ethical misconduct and criminal acts by Bush political appointees spoiled image of department.
- We want to be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability.
- We will respect the scientific process.
- There is the possibility that we will form a basketball team and take on the White House. Though Sec. Salazar noted that he has to be careful, as he "serves at the pleasure of the president."
