http://blogs.theprobulator.com QUESTION EVERYTHING! Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:26:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The trailer for Torchwood season three is out: There's even Harkness smooching. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/02/12/children-of-earth/ At long last, the one TV series I've been waiting forever to come out on DVD: Parker Lewis Can't Lose. It may see the light of day later this year!  Once again we may be able to watch the young, boyish and cute Larry Kubiac. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/02/10/coolness-park/ Maryland Governer Martin O'Malley seeks to expand benefits available to GLBT state employees, their partners and their children.  It's long past time! http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/02/04/get-your-benefits-here/ Martha was apparently quite the hottie back in the days of yore and before.  Is she perhaps an ancestor of Polygamy poster child, Chloe Sevigny? http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/02/02/separated-at-birth/ KNBC in Los Angeles refuses to air and equality ad.  Earlier, KABC refused to air the ad during inauguration coverage. Personally, I think this is ridiculous, considering the amount of taxpayer subsidies this overratted entertainment product receives through publicly funded stadiums.  I will continue my non-interest in the NFL. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/02/02/why-im-glaad-i-didnt-watch-the-superbowl/ What do you do when you're down and out, but young, cute and horny? Rent yourself! How incredibly stupid that an activity that makes all involved happy is criminal nearly everywhere in the country.  Think of all the income tax that the federal, state and local governments are forfieting. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/01/31/not-that-theres-anything-wrong-with-that/ Way back in the ages of the early Reagan administration a local station aired the following report: I remember the TRS Model 1 computer being used by the "home computer owner"!  It's on what I learned to program in BASIC in the back of a Radio Shack store around the time ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/01/31/prescient-reporting/ I don't know how I managed to miss this for a couple of years now, but this is probably the best fan site for CWs Reaper. It's got a great photo section included what is probably one of the best pictures of sexy Tyler Labine. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2009/01/31/sow-what-you-reap/ I woke up at 5:30 this morning to begin my voting oddesy.  It was my first time voting in the state I currently reside.  To be certain I was ready, I tried to anticipate everything.  I programmed the address of the polling station into my GPS unit.  I had recent ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/11/04/yo-vote/ What I suspected has now been offically released by the BBC.  David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who at the end of the 2009 Specials.  I'm guessing that this news is the reason that the Doctor Who Forum is experiencing major difficulties in delivering its content.   I thought David made an ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/29/who/ No diatribe this time.  Just remember to VOTE next Tuesday.  If you can vote early (I can't) then do it.  Make sure you're registered and don't let anyone intimidate you! http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/28/just-a-week-away/ Way back when (in the early eighties) my family first got cable, the embryonic childrens' channel Nickelodeon aired an anthology show they called "The Third Eye".  The nearly budgetless fledgling network bought old shows from our former mother country England.  While many remember "The Tomorrow People" which ran before Nick ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/27/a-long-time-ago-on-a-channel-far-far-away/ This is a great little read.  Parody news magazine, "The Onion" published this article mere days before president Bush was first inaugurated.  While written as a joke, the article predicted many of this president's major actions.  It's quite amazing.  Perhaps we should have read more closely and paid attention. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/18/reading-the-entrails-of-the-onion/ About a year ago, on November 14th, 2007, the following appeared in the UK newspaper, The Independent. The following exchange took place on Craigslist, the New York community message board: “What am I doing wrong? I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/16/dig-for-that-gold/ The McCain-Palin campaign needs some positive ads that accentuate the candidates' qualities rather than harp on the opponents' questionable negatives.  Here is a suggestion: http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/06/on-the-positive-side/ Just in time to close out Banned Books Week a christian conservative group complains that librarians are "banning" books that present their "side" of the homosexuality "issue".  When you look closer, you find that the librarians are evaluating all their books by certain standards and these aren't passing.  Little things ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/05/bbw-conservative-likes-to-read-books/ Watching the vice presidential debate is like watching a manic depressive.  It's been excruciating at times and it's been highly entertaining at other time.  Senator Biden hardly jumps off the screen, but Governor Palin hasn't constructed a single original thought throughout this incredibly long hour and a half.  I wish ... http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/10/02/sarah-soundbite/ Saturday was the start of The American Library Association's Banned Books Week.  Pick up a challenged book and read it today!  Don't let those willing to supress knowledge because of a weak message get the upper hand! http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/09/29/celebrate-your-freedom-to-read-while-you-still-have-it/ Check it out here. http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/09/28/already-in-the-works-the-sarah-palin-story/ I found this online and don't know the context in which it was originally posted, but isn't it ironic that all the white members of this potential first and second families are present including the knocked up daughter, but the adopted black daughter is absent?  That's family values for you! http://blogs.theprobulator.com/2008/09/03/wheres-bridget/
