Dan on Last Night's Colbert Report.
@8 He said the word Catholic and Vatican so wingnuts are up in arms about his religious bigotry or something. You know, the same shit they've been screaming inside their bubble for as long as I can remember.

@8 I love the book series because it has no protagonist. Even though I know not to fall in love with any of the characters, I was still surprised and pissed off with how book 5 ended.
There is no way of knowing how it will end because there is no protagonist. It keeps the story incredibly interesting for me.

So, apparently...not only did they not read the books, or learn the lesson from season 1's beheading...but they also paid no attention to the numerous interviews with Mr. Martin where he said "don't fall in love with any of the characters..."

A Complaint About "Nothing" (and Genetically Modified Crops).
@10 @13 Cross-species hybridization HAS been going on for billions of years. We would never be here if not for it. (Unless you believe creationism, in which case, I will just sigh and walk away)
I'm not trying to defend Monsanto's ethical practices, which are, indeed, horrid.
I'm just trying to say that the letter writer claiming that Monsanto is "poisoning" our food supply is reactionary and crazy. Saying all gene splicing is inherently bad for people and toxic is completely stupid.
