re: Confederacy show

I read about it and it looks like a complete rip from Harry Turtledove's alt history novels where the South wins the war. Too bad they don't just make those into a long-running series, as they were incredible.

I'm sure HBO will handle this series with tact and grace /s

I think he ran out of good ideas.

I don't care anymore because there really isn't anything left to spoil. It's a straight forward zombie apocalypse show now.

Show would on the whole be so much better without the zombies / WW.

No way, I think that's (supposed to be) one of the core themes of the show. The end of humanity is at the doorstep and people are fighting over politics instead. Parallels today pretty well.

Honestly, if he ends the story with the Ice King's hoards of zombies decimating Cercsi and her remaining followers/the last of humanity as the Cersi loyalists "roll coal" by burning grain stores that could have gotten them through the winter just to troll John Snow, it will be the greatest story of all time.

Sky is to stop broadcasting Fox News in the UK after low audience figures, the media firm has said.

21st Century Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, said the channel was being withdrawn as it was not commercially viable.

Why not ease racial tensions in America by making Wales the 51st State. That way rednecks can be legitimately racist.

The zombies underscore the thesis of the entire series.

I got an email today from the campaign of a guy trying to primary Nancy Pelosi, a Bernie supporter running to her left. I found the LA Times had an article about him back in May which had some funny snippets:

Quote:

Pelosi has been regularly reelected with support in the neighborhood of 80%. Her landslide victories have become so routine, in fact, it has been years since Pelosi ran anything resembling an actual reelection campaign, even as antagonists around the country have poured millions into repeated efforts to beat her.

Quote:

A spokesman for Pelosi, who makes a practice of ignoring her election opponents, had no comment.

Quote:

As if his challenge wasn’t formidable enough, Jaffe’s campaign has not, to be charitable, gotten off to a terrific start.

Recently, a Facebook posting surfaced from last October, in which he bemoaned his status as “an old white straight” guy in a city where few sins are worse than stodginess and conventionality. “In San Francisco's Democratic Party circles,” Jaffe lamented, “we are perceived as a politically incorrect liability.”

But hey, I'm glad someone's trying.

The comments on that give me a little faith in humanity.

How could you even mix up Rice and M. Obama?
