Sick to my stomach…

…and it has nothing to do with anything the administration or the Palestinian authority or anything anyone is saying about the church or even the job hunt which is going poorly.

Miracles happen, but this means blogging may be kinda light today.

But if you need a quick smile what appears to be the climax of Rich’s comic strip might help.

I sure hope it is available in book form sooner or later. It would make an awesome audio as well

Eddie Robson is a Dr. who winner

Picked up another Big Finish #88 Memory Lane, turned out to be a first rate adventure. Discovered that apparently the author, Eddie Robson is the same writer who was responsible for the Condemned and The Raincloud man. If you are a Fan of the audios keep an eye out for that name as it will mean a worthwhile use of your money.

Short sighted idiots

I’ve already made my opinion on illegal immigration known, but these people are making a huge mistake:

During a decade in the U.S., Mexican immigrant Linex Rivera gave birth to three daughters, whose American citizenship offered her hope of staying in the land of opportunity. But with job prospects drying up for her husband, Ms. Rivera last week joined a phalanx of compatriots at the Mexican consulate in Los Angeles inquiring about obtaining Mexican citizenship for their children

Obama or no, anyone who thinks the interests of their children and themselves are better with Mexican citizenship than with American citizenship are out of their minds. It will be no more useful than the bees heading back to melissa majoria. It won’t save them in the end.

So much for the bookmakers

As a reward for his Full scholarship and fees package that he got I cleaned out my oldest’s folder at That’s Entertainment today. Looking though the stuff there were several back issues of Doctor Who Magazine. The December issue has the following to say concerning the soon to be replaced 10th doctor:

At the time of going to press on October 30th bookies Paddy Power made Paterson Joseph their 3-1 favorite. With Christmas Special Star David Morrissey close behind at 5-1.

The odds list included John Simm (8-1), Russell Tovey (10-1), Anthony Head (10-1), Harry Lloyd (18-1), John Barrowman (33-1), Marc Warren (33-1), Dean Lennox (50-1), Richard E. Grant (14-1), Hugh Grant (100-1), James Nesbitt (6-1), Robert Carlyle (14-1), Jason Statham (18-1), Aidan Gillen (18-1) , Ben Whishaw (20-1), Julian Walsh (20-1), Nigel Harman (20-1), Bill Nighy (25-1), Stephen Fry (25-1) he would have been pretty good I think, Chiwetel Ejiofor (25-1), David Suchet (33-1), Paul Bettany (33-1) he’s more of a Master type to me, Joel Beckett (40-1), Christopher Villers (66-1) Ricky Gervais (80-1), Vinnie Jones (100-1), Robbie Williams (150-1).

Cripes the return of the 9th doctor Christopher Eccleston was even given 40-1 odds but nobody at all had Matt Smith on their radar.

Those guys much must have made a fortune.
