In the second comment, I was talking about the software, which I am just about done with.

Ok, this discussion has been fucked with more times than I'm willing to deal with.  Going away.

Why misappropriation of Joni Mitchell's song?  It sounds about as bullshit as it always did to me.

It's kind of a Whedonverse thing, but I don't want to talk.

Let it blow through you.  I have little experience with ABC, but much with  destroying shows.

Explain the alternative to the military as a whole.

Wow, you are really a lot.  Explain the alternative.

You're quite right.  I didn't have a question. Now I do.  Why would you assume that I, as a soldier, have an ideology?  I'm certainly not supposed to, as a soldier, but I can as a citizen.

Please reply to me now. 

The military is in deep force-reduction (though it always needs recruits) and the economy is shit, so the recruiters are in a buyer's market. Still, a hard-headed kid, who is not likely to be snowed by a sudden new best friend, can go to a recruiter, take the ASVAB, and see what they offer.

Have you tried using psychoactive substances nearly continually?

Shit, you're right. I hadn't even thought about that.  One time, when I was much younger, I saw about ten minutes of a movie on cable that featured Kelly McGillis as a Zionist settler in Palestine, and I learned new things about how little "American" really covers what can't be. So Irish.

It's Aladeen funny the way I describe it.

I haven't been wanting to see this, but must admit I loved the bit where Aladeen means both positive and negative, and the unfortunate man can't know what his HIV test result means.  Trailers being what they are these days, though, it's probably the best bit in the movie.

I just heard him on the radio describing Poe as "punk rock."  Other 40-somethings, please stop saying "punk rock."  I don't care what happens to him anymore.

Be disquieted, be very disquieted.

And in an era where public service is not respected, and we're turning into the same thing as Crime-u-list Russia.

Fine to be all superior.  But dead band-members are not friends to living band-members and give them no gifts.  Unless the soul clap hands and sing, and louder sing for every glitch in its digital dress.

The 3 or 4 minutes I watched had her in it.  And were mildly funny.  But then it moved off that scene to the rest of a nightmarish pool party and I couldn't hang.

Right. Is there another premium cable political discourse show?  Fareed Zakaria is good, the other Sunday morning shows have their moments, but all the shows that are commercial-fed have to have the panelists pull punches.  Real Time needs to stay.
