TV In A Post-Bush Era

There are a few television shows that have captured my attention over the past 8 years: ‘24′, ‘Battlestar Galactica’, and Heroes.  These shows have something in common, the battle between good and evil, and the incorporation of elements of terrorism in the story-lines of all three.

I Can’t Believe Glenn Beck Said This… Umm, Yes I Can

Earlier today, America’s favorite neo-con, nazi, Bushie, Glenn Beck stated that if he were President, he would shoot all terror suspects in the head.  This without the benefit of a fair trial.  He would do this is he thought they were against us.  Wow… just wow.  And this person is given a national voice on [...]
