« The 'new tone' in Washington | Main | Battlestar Galactica - What's up with Moore? »
March 27, 2007
So, what have I missed?
Yep, personal life has taken precedence the last several weeks. As excited as I've been with moving, I'm also so tired that even the writing monkey - usually on my back - slid off to cower in a corner somewhere with nary a whimpering nag in my general direction.
Oh, I've paid attention to the news and events. But I've been unable ... and sometimes unwilling ... to vent my spleen on the the disgusting events. Sean Penn is the perfect spokeshole for Defeatocrats ... all incoherent feeling and no brain. What can one really add to such obvious pusillanimous palavers?
But hey ... I'm back in the homeowner category again, we finally got the idiot cable company to get their act together (though they deleted our email accounts and claim they can't restore 'em), the last two episodes of Battlestar Galactica rocked (and NO, the 'four' are not Cylons and neither is Starbuck ... but we have to wait NINE months for new episodes? WTF?), and I have a ton of email to catch up.
Why today to start writing again? Well, Gov. Arnold actually did a very good thing a few days ago ... a DDA in my office was appointed to be a Superior Court judge and he was sworn in today. The courtroom where he was sworn in was packed; by our office, his family, other judges, even numerous defense attorneys. A more talented, decent, fairminded, thorough and just plain nice guy would be very hard to find. He is going to be a tremendous judge.
When the good guys win one, it's inspiring.
See y'all tomorrow.

Sorry, Darleen, but Ron Moore confirmed in an interview here that they are indeed Cylons. Still no idea who the final one is, though.
But you won't have to wait until January 2008 for new Galactica. As noted in the same article, they are going to release a 2 hour movie this fall which takes place on the Battlestar Pegasus between the time of the original Cylon attack and when the Pegasus met up with Galactica. It's also supposed to have events that serve as a lead-in to the fourth season. And according to the Moore interview above, season 4 is probably going to be the last.

Thank God you've returned.
There's a terrifying story about Mack Ray Edwards, the California serial child killer who once worked for Caltrans and may have buried about 18 children along the freeway system from about 1953 to his capture in 1970. He confessed to some, but some remains have not been found.
See: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-serial17mar17,1,4673761.story
This story needs a tv show dedicated to Edwards. It takes a lot of people to do freeway work and there should be someone who remembered working with Edwards and might be able to remember something important.
I sent an e-mail to Bill Kurtis trying to get his interest in doing a story on Edwards.
