That Bill Whatcott is an ugly blighter.

And the COWARDS! at NASA want to get Hubble die in orbit rather than fly-up and change the batteries and gyros to extend it operational life. Grrrrrrrr...
Look at all the amazing things the Martian twin-bots are still sending us, 21-months after they were supposed to be bead.

You've got to love those "Christians," calling in death threats like that. Such piety, er, such hypocrisy is what I meant to say...

Given the Hubble findings, I have to say: Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' deals very, very well with the spectacular amounts we don't know about the cosmos. So well, in fact, that this news comes to me as no astroshock.
(Hubble himself, by the way, was hot. If a little egocentric.)

I saw the snoozer. It was definitely not "to die for". It seems like a lot of controversy for a show that otherwise wouldn't last a single season, even if it was written better.
I love Ellen Burstyn, and the Jesus guy is pretty damn hot, but the show truly sux. My advice to all those who are offended by this hound; Take a deep breath, and the show will disappear before the flop-sweat gets a chance to dry. Aim your outrage at a more worthy target.
