The right wing gaming room is right.

I’ve very happy that he’s been checking out the the revised Dr. Who series including the new season with Matt Smith this year. I totally approve both of him checking it out and the series in general.

I haven’t talked much about the Matt Smith episodes because there is a three week gap between England’s broadcasts (which I have watched using a proxy server) checked out the new season of Dr. Who that I think has been absolutely fantastic.

Matt Smith soars in the role. He reminds me of the best parts of Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker only younger. The Eleventh Hour ranks as one of the best re-generation episodes of the entire series. You have to go to Castrovalva to find one as good.

There has only been one episode (this week’s Vincent and the Doctor) that I would consider mediocre and one episode that was pretty much good but had a poor resolution (Vampire’s of Venice) but other than that is is really first rate.

He is also spending some time with the wife in Baltimore. It is unfortunately just as cheap to go to Baltimore to watch the Red Sox than it is to go to Fenway and pay the prices there.

Ah the joys of being a Red Sox fan.

And the Hymers keep fighting

The Hymes clan continues to give Little Miss Attila a whole lot of attention.

Even through another member of Baptist Tabernacle, that is initiating contact, which is in general the fastest way to get me to blog about the Hymerses. (The other two things that will get me to do it are when I get heart-wrenching stories from former cultists that I’m given permission to publish [with names redacted, natch], or when Dr. R.L. Hymers gets media coverage.)

She links to and comments on the response of the “church” but shows the difference between the pair.

When one side in a dispute is willing to link to both sides and let people make up their own mind while the other runs to the FBI, tell me who is more confident in their beliefs?

My latest Examiner column: All politics is local A conversation with Annie DiMartino

You might remember Annie DiMartino from the Scott Brown Election, I have a new interview with her at Examiner.com that I encourage you to take a peek at and not just because of the 3/4 of a cent I’ll make a hit: A quick peek:

In the mid 60’s a young girl came to the United States with $17 dollars and a borrowed suitcase to work as a nanny. Today (June 5th) Annie DiMartino will attend the Democratic State Convention in Worcester as she has for decades.

Although we disagree on a few issues (at times I was the only republican in her diner) if more democrats were like Annie DiMartino both the democratic party and America would be better off.
