At the movie theaters, Starwars 18, Rocky 12, Saw 19 and the blockbuster of the century......Debbie Does Mars.

Well , i had the tv on the channel of "the universe" for a few hours now. And in 1 of the episodes the host showed us there is supposedly gonna be a asteroid passing very close to earth on April 30 of 2049 or some date. I forgot what year they said.

And all we little people will continue as we did before: Captive audiences at the mercy of the spin doctors and the purveyors of political claptrap.

Does that sound cynical? It shouldn't. It always been so. Only the names of the players change.
