It IS eerie, isn't it?

This will mean nothing to a lot of you, but if you've ever watched Battlestar Galactica, the parallels here are truly frightening:

I'd been holding to the current Presidential race = Seasons 6 and 7 of The West Wing theory, but I think I may have to abandon that strategy and go for this new theory. After all, Sen. McCain and Col. Tigh are both former POWs, and Palin and Roslin both come from education backgrounds.

Though, I suppose there's something to be said for people just naturally looking for leadership from wizened old military vets and capable women wearing spectacles.

My Dad Will Be On NPR Today

On Thursday, November 29th, my dad will be on "All Things Considered" sometime between 4 and 6 PM Eastern Time. He was interviewed along with a lot of Republicans who watched the Republican Debate last night, and there'll be a small five minute section on their reactions to what happened. If you've got a chance, try to listen in and see if you hear him at all.

My dad's a bright guy with good opinions, so I figure this has to be a boon for NPR listeners, who aren't usually both. He runs this blog here.
