Something About Cuts To Public Media
I’ve said it before that cutting funding to NPR and PBS is a horrible thing. They are worth every penny in making our communities better, more informed, and connected. My local public media stations WTCI-PBS and WUTC-NPR in Chattanooga, Tennessee are vital to creating a culture where everyone can learn and grow. Without public media America is certainly not great.

Wednesday Wisdom
A president who does not obey the law is not and should not be a president. The same goes for legislators and other people in leadership. The law does a lot to keep things together and to create an order in society. For fairness and justice, laws must be changed and amended. Right now, the law is needed now more than ever to prevent chaos and anarchy.
Quote Of The Day
Though in war, you can only get killed once. In politics, it can happen over and over.
President Laura Roslin of the 12 Colonies of Kobol (Battlestar Galactica)
Rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)
Tonight, we have begun a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica from 2024 that was produced by Ronald D. Moore. This update of the late-1970s program takes a decidedly darker tone as what’s left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians – led by de facto president Laura Roslin – in search of a mythical planet called Earth.
I grew up a fan of the 1978 edition, but this updated version is my favorite. It’s full of complex issues, like family, politics, survival, espionage, sociology, religion, mysticism, and more. This show has a great cast including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackoff, Jamie Bamber, and Tricia Helfer.
