12seconds - Finishing my Birthday Bacon Cheese Dog--YUM. http://12seconds.tv/channel...
Just started Doctor Who series 4. Not real happy with Donna Noble back, she annoys the hell out of me.

I'd much rather prefer Astrid from the xmas special or Martha. Was shocked/squealing in delight to see Rose pop back up, if only for a moment.

Okay, finished Series 4 last night (at 5am, what the hell is wrong with me?) and have changed my view on Donna.. She was just so different than Rose and Martha. She did continue to bother me the first few episodes, but by the end I was rooting for her too. I thought it was kinda crappy what they did to her at the end, but that just means new companion for next season.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'm wondering when they're going to introduce the character from the "Library" episode since it was obvious they had traveled together (and more, it seems). All I have left to watch now is the 2008 Xmas Special and Torchwood Season 2.

Donna ran her course perfectly, methinks. Like most, didn't like her much, then she grew on me, and I cheered her in the end, but when it and she was done, I rejoiced.
- Michael W. May
I ended up really loving Donna, she may be my favorite companion (although I'm only familiar with the revived series). Here's a pic of the new girl: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums.... She's very young (21 I believe) and quite stunning. It will be interesting to see how it goes, but the guy taking over wrote some of my favorite episodes of the new series so I am not too worried.

It seems that Martha and Mickey spent some time together regardless, since they're getting married in that upcoming special

Pink Floyd's Waters: West Bank wall must come down - Yahoo! News - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
Anne Bouey and lemuel liked this
"Pink Floyd's former frontman Roger Waters said Tuesday he'll take to the stage the minute Israel tears down its West Bank separation wall, just as he did in Berlin two decades ago when another wall came down. Visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in the shadows of the towering concrete structure, the British rocker who co-wrote the iconic 1970s album "The Wall" said he hopes "this awful thing is destroyed soon.""
- Sean McBride
from Bookmarklet
"Waters, 65, said the West Bank wall has been on his mind since he first saw it up close in what he described as an eye-opening visit in 2006, following a concert in Israel. "People who haven't actually seen this, what's going on here, can't actually imagine the impression that it has on you, the sick, kind of churning feeling that you get in your very heart when you see this, how depressing it is," Waters told The Associated Press in an interview."
- Sean McBride
I'm just imagining John Waters wandering the planet in search of walls that must come down. In 2030, he'll be holding a benefit concert in Manchester to tear down the fence between the Smith and Bank's gardens.
- thepete
My pithy commentary is not meant to take away from his efforts, of course. It's just funny how he gets back in the news every so often with another wall-related story.
- thepete
Well, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is rather a huge cultural monument itself -- it still powerfully resonates. It's become a contemporary archetype or meme.

"Photographs ... which Barack Obama is attempting to censor include images of apparent rape and sexual abuse... " #tcot - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news...
anna sauce, Steven Perez and James Poling liked this
"Detail of the content emerged from Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq. Allegations of rape and abuse were included in his 2004 report but the fact there were photographs was never revealed. He has now confirmed their existence in an interview with the Daily Telegraph. The graphic nature of some of the images may explain the US President’s attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photographs from prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published."
- MikeAmundsen
from Bookmarklet
I feel bad for Obama, he's caught between a rock and a hard place right now. I think he should release the photos for the simple fact that I think they'll somehow get out anyway and the fact that he isn't releasing them (for good reason) will still come back to bite him.
- James Poling
@James: yep, my initial reaction when he pulled the plug on this was to say "air it out *now*, as close the Bush era as possible." I now see why the Pentagon folks want this kept private, too. But, as we see here, it's out. It's not going away. And, yeah, it's worse than we thought [sigh].
- MikeAmundsen
I don't know. One thing that bothers me about public release of all of these pics (and I do think legal and prosecuting authorities should have access) is that there doesn't seem to be any consideration for the victims. I don't think a rape victim should have photos of his/her rape published/release to the public without his/her consent. It's a further violation. The whole situation is just messed up.
- Katy S
@Katy: i've not seen many Abu Ghraib photos w/ victims easily identified. w/ the exception of the "dog" photo showing the frightened look on a victim's face, all the ones i've seen have the victims face blurred or with black lines across the face. 'sides, this identity issue can be handled easily enough. i would not be against blurring the faces of all parties in these photos. IMO, the point is not _who_ did it, but _what_ was done.
- MikeAmundsen
Katy, I totally agree. I don't think the photos necessarily "need" to be released to the public. I just think they eventually will be leaked anyway and that somehow, someone will say that because he didn't just release them in the first place that Obama was somehow complicit in these crimes against humanity.
- James Poling
from email
Taguba denies the report, the photos discussed in the Telegraph piece are not the ones the Obama administration is debating releasing http://bit.ly/btQGj
- BCK
@BCK:what is this about: "The actual quote in the Telegraph was accurate, Taguba said -- but he was referring to the hundreds of images he reviewed as an investigator of the abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq -- not the photos of abuse that Obama is seeking to suppress."?
- MikeAmundsen
Most rape victims would not want pictures of their rapes publicized.
- ursi
@ursi: most rape perpetrators would proly rather the photos are kept private, too, eh?
- MikeAmundsen
Evidence in a criminal case is one thing. Publishing the crime photos of a rape victim ...can't see anyone wanting that to happen.
- ursi
@ursi: yes, i agree w/ you. my point is that i can think of very few folks who want this stuff published. victims, perps, those in charge of the perps, families of the victims, etc. in fact, i can betcha most of those same folks wish it never even happened, too<g>. bottom-line, IMO, is that no-one has said they *want* victim's rapes published.
- MikeAmundsen
Only war criminals are intent on suppressing photographs and other evidence of war crimes.
- Sean McBride
What bugs me on top of the fact that Obama is blatantly suppressing evidence is that @mamund added the #tcot tag to this post. How is this a conservative issue only? This is a human issue & if Bush was still in power would that tag still be there? Blatant party games aside, I'm w/the people who believe the pics should be released w/the victims faces censored. Anyone who wants to keep these pics out of the public is just a coward. Think America can't face it's demons? Then you believe in a weaker USA than me
