You have to love Spike TV... "The first TV network for Men." Tonight they're playing the Star Trek Episode that first introduced the Borg. Over Christmas and Thanksgiving they had Bond marathons and pretty much everything they show is spot on--aimed at the male audience. It's great. I read the other day that Star Trek will probably be cancelled this season. It's a shame that it's going to happen, but with the direction they've taken the last couple seasons, I'm not really surprised. It's gone downhill for sure. On Slashdot, there was a comment that pretty much defined the recent formula of Star Trek as:
:06 - Mystery discovered
:26 - Solving mystery becomes critical to survival
:48 - Mystery is solved/enemy defeated
:58 - Moral lesson learned and crew rejoices in victory.
Something like that anyway, and it's basically true. The good thing is that there are so many old episodes to see and re-run it's bound to be on TV for a long time to come.
It.s been awhile since I.ve heard George Bush speak. After the Iowa Caucus (what little I caught of it) and hearing bits and pieces of the Democratic presidential candidates campaign elsewhere, the State of the Union address that is currently on TV is nothing short of refreshing.
Bush is not the perfect president, but he is a man with a vision.a man that is not afraid to stand up for what is right, to define issues morally and to do what is right for the country. On moral issues, I feel Bush is closer to what the majority of Americans believe and closer to what the founding fathers intended for our country than any current candidate for the presidency. It.s refreshing to hear him speak so highly of our military and his strong commitment to our nations defense.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that between him and any one of the bickering lot that are the democratic candidates, Bush is the only one who is right for our country now.
