Edward James Olmos said it was the end. David Eick said not so fast. But now Eick and Ronald Moore have made it official: Battlestar Galactica will be entering its fourth and final season.

Or at least that’s how I read this from Anna Griffin, as Dr. Robert B. Pamprin, Jr. officially reneges on the long-planned Ross Island deal, making sure to blame pretty much everyone except himself on his way out.

Sometimes I wonder if people like Worms Ate Into My Brain grasp that when they call anything they don’t like “terrorism”, they’re actually degrading, demeaning, and insulting anyone who has died as a result of actual terrorism. Like, say, the 3,000 people killed in New York City on September 11, 2001.

“While no stone should be left unturned in seeking to discover the nature of man’s origins, we can say with conviction that we know with certainty at least part of the outcome,” opines GOPresidential candidate Sam Brownback. “Man was not an accident and reflects an image and likeness unique in the created order. Those aspects of evolutionary theory compatible with this truth are a welcome addition to human knowledge. Aspects of these theories that undermine this truth, however, should be firmly rejected as an atheistic theology posing as science.” Emphasis added in case anyone missed Brownback’s bizarre, ignorant, and completely stupid “argument” that only faith equals knowledge, and only religion can be considered science.

Forget the cheating on his wife. In yesterday’s game against Toronto, perhaps the biggest asshole in baseball shouts “mine!” as he runs the bases, behind the Blue Jays’ third baseman, causing the fielder to assume that the right fielder behind him had just called the pop fly currently in play, causing the ball to fall to the ground. A-Rod laughably claims he simply yelled “hah!” but it’s clear that he didn’t. To answer Extra Bases’ question, no this isn’t like “sliding hard into second base to break up a double play”. But it’s very much like A-Rod girly-slapping the baseball out of a Red Sox pitcher’s hand back in 2004.

Just how out of touch with reality is Senator Joementum, water carrier for the GOPresidency’s occupation of Iraq? Well, exactly this much, according to McClatchy.

If you happened to attend Shaker High School in Latham, New York, this, at least in theory, should amuse the living shit out of you.

“By saying that Korea is the model for the US military presence in Iraq, the president is saying that he envisions the US military presence in Iraq continuing for many decades into the future,” writes Josh Marshall. “Or let’s put that in more stark terms, for most of you reading this post, the president envisions US troops remaining in Iraq long after you’re dead.”
