i actually saw some deer outside my office window the other day. it was great to just sit and watch them instead of my computer screen…. until my boss came by, freaked out, saw them there, and proceeded to shoo them away because he didn’t want them to chew on the corporate-approved shrubbery.

he then called them overgrown rodents, rolled his eyes and walked away. and the deer haven’t come back since.

Prediction: the 5th is already on Earth, and Earth is… Earth. Otherwise that fancy pullback business at the end of season 3 was just eye-candy. Could be the architect-dude from Razor?

I do like that the hybrid bugs out on Kara. I think the “end” might be metaphorical, but we should also consider the hybrid’s scope of knowledge — she’s a ship-driving prophecy-machine. Say Earth is through a wormhole (yes, DS9!) — she can’t prophesy through it, and declares it “death”. Say the 5th is the architect, and the hybrid’s programming isn’t meant to understand the scale of things to come — again, “death” is the prophecy. In any case, I’m comfortable understanding Kara’s harbinger-of-death role to mean that she will bring humanity past where the Cylons have seen, regardless of physical actuality.

My dream pick for Obama would be Biden (who i’ve said since the start) or Bloomberg (Not Going to happen) Jim Webb would be interesting, former Navy aide to Reagan, now Dem senator from Virginia.

Thought you’d like this bit from wikipedia:
On November 28, 2006, at a White House reception for those newly elected to Congress, Webb declined to stand in the line to have his picture taken with the president, whom Webb often criticized during the campaign. The president approached Webb later and asked him, “How’s your boy?”, referring to Webb’s son, a Marine serving in Iraq. According to Congressman Jim Moran of Virginia, aides warned the President to be “extra sensitive about talking to Webb about his son, since Webb’s son has had a recent brush with death in Iraq.”[26] Webb replied “I’d like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President.” Bush responded, “That’s not what I asked you. How’s your boy?” Webb responded, “That’s between me and my boy, Mr. President.” Webb was so angered by the exchange that he was reportedly tempted to “slug” the president and later remarked, “I’m not particularly interested in having a picture of me and George W. Bush on my wall.”

They don’t mention any retired generals, but I’d be surprised if they weren’t on his radar.

As for McCain, I’m betting its the guy from Minn.

Thoughts?
