Odds, ends…

Nuclear engineers from North Korea are in Syria. Probably just vacationing sunny Damascus! Move along, nothing to see here…

Next: In California, a foster kid wants to join the Marines. Fine, good on him. BUT: you need a judge’s approval if you’re a ward of the state (Apparently. I didn’t know that) and the judge, is… well.. opinionated:

“The judge said she didn’t support the Iraq war for any reason why we’re over there,” said Marine recruiter Sgt. Guillermo Medrano of the Simi Valley USMC recruiting office.

“She just said all recruiters were the same – that they `all tap dance and tell me what I want to hear.’ She said she didn’t want him to fight in it.”

What the hell is wrong with California? First the Berkley thing, now this?

Finally, from the fertile brains of a bunch of bored British soldiers, its FOB: the Musical!

Funny. Gay, but funny. I’m starting to think that bored soldiers are better sources of creativity than Hollywood. This could be something that Hollywood could tap in to, perhaps, except that California wants nothing to do with us because we’re all imperialist stormtroopers who kill puppies and were duped into joining by crafty, evil, recruiters. So, they’re content to keep churning out crap like Lost.

    Don’t knock Lost until you’ve seen it, sir! It’s the single most addictive show I’ve ever seen, and the writing is absolutely brilliant compared to most of the trash out there.

    I just turned on Lost the other night and some dude is time-traveling. Wtf.

    Lost sucks.

    Way to Armydillo, good vid.

    Some people like Lost, some don’t. But if you want to talk about trash on television how about:

    Jericho, where it seems elements of the federal government and big business are responsible for a nuclear attack on the homeland — Truther TV; and

    The Unit, where we find that the CIA is running a floating Gitmo, executing detainees and dumping their bodies in the Pacific, and blaming it on the pathetic bunch of misfits that are presented as Delta operators.

    These are “crap.” I could go on, but if you aren’t watching primetime TV, you may not be aware of the vile left-wing crap being presented.

    ha, I knew this would turn into a debate on Lost the minute I saw you post it.

    Don’t watch the show myself, but the folks I know who *do* watch it (see Slab’s brudder) seem to love it.

    Regarding the judge in california, I think that was one of the most inane judgements I have ever heard-let him join, it may be good for him. Reagarding the video-what is it with military people when they are bored, they do the weirdest things. Regarding Jericho, as I happen to like it-you are right about the show though. The first season hinted at domestic terrorism, not they are hinting at a conspiricy. Still better than some of the other crap out there.

    Once she gets her way, she’ll look good under a burka, and we won’t need to listen to her anymore.

    Hey now! There are lots of Soldiers’ Angels in California too (and some of us have even worked in Hollywood)… we’re not ALL a bunch of nutjob lefties out here. :)

    Can’t Sage appeal?

    Isn’t what this judge did kinda illegal, that is putting political beliefs above the law?

    Can’t this judge be disbarred or impeach over this?
