...without which, it cannot be.

Both sides have fallen apart. This is becoming sadder and sadder to watch after each episode; Zarek proclaims to assume command of the Colonial Government, but Lee stops him and commissions a search committee for a successor acceptable to the Old Man. 47 names were crossed off the list, thanks to that masterfully manipulative barrister, Romo Lampkin, who ends up killing his puddy tat to get his point across. For his efforts, he receives a new pet...a Hero of the New Caprica Resistance, no less.
After the fight between Admiral Adama and Colonel Tigh over the latter’s unrecorded trysts with Caprica Six, which results in her pregnancy (RED FLAGS on this one if you’re keeping track of the Skin Jobs!), the Old Man essentially says to his XO Frak It, I’m putting YOU in command, I’m going after Laura. Husker then climbs aboard a Raptor, launches, and just sits there as the Fleet jumps away.
Alone.
As I said…it’s getting sadder and sadder to watch. Am I going to give up? Not Just No but HELL NO!

Q. What do the following statements all have in common?

“Despite all our problems with the Jews, they are much better than us in fighting corruption and revealing the truth.”
...
“Israel is a state that deserves to exist. It deserves our profound respect. I wish I were a citizen of this state.”
...
“This is democracy at its best! Enough of dictatorship in the Arab world! Let’s learn from the Israeli example. Let’s benefit from Israel’s democracy.”
...
“I swear Israel is a state that will succeed. They are prosecuting their prime minister because of tens of thousands of dollars. What about the millions of dollars that Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority stole? How come the Palestinian people are still hungry?”

A. They’re all attributed to Arabs, commenting on the current corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. And there’s more there too. Lots more!

It’s the end of a long vacation week for me. I go back to work on Monday. Gas is $3.89 here. I was supposed to go to the ophthalmalogist’s office to get new contacts fitted, but she had to leave town for a family emergency, so I have to reschedule. Cram it, I’m staying home. Here’s what’s on the wires:

CLAY AIKEN IMPREGNATES WOMAN BY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION: What, natural insemination isn’t good enough?

JENNA SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT: ‘Nuff said.

NO MEN AT ‘SEX’ MOVIE PREMIERE: It’s not called a Chick Flick for nothin’....
