Heard a caller on the (not) Mark Levin show today. Caller is military and said he was asked point blank that if he were ordered to go to his hometown and seize guns from his neighbors would he follow these orders?

Depends on why the question was asked. Such an order would be an illegal order, so perhaps that is what they were looking for as an answer.

.... or perhaps that is just wishful thinking on my part.

If she has a Brother, he must have had one rotten time in School with that last name.

Mark Levin was not hosting today.

The packers will, they'll even shoot the unarmed citizens. They make great Nazis.

Actually, she didn’t talk about gun control, she talked about gun SAFETY.

The galactic show she was in is one of the best sci fi tv shows ever

Agreed. My favorite TV series of all time.

I watched every episode...on Netflix. Sorry that it was over...final episode was kinda weak. I also liked Stargate Universe.

She's great in the new Longmire series.

Season 2 just started on A&E.

Did you rent the discs as well? There are two Galactica TV movies that are not available for streaming. They are ‘ Razor ‘ and ‘ The Plan ‘.

Both are very good.

UPDATE: Looks like Sackhoff was kidding when she said she lost half her followers. Twitter stats show she didn't take a net hit. She's actually up a few followers today. A Sackhoff fan emails to say "Katee jokes a lot."

It’s trite, and so it’s appropriate in today’s celebrity infatuated culture.

(3? I’m jealous)

RE :”Actually, she didn’t talk about gun control, she talked about gun SAFETY”

Wow, you conned too?

How about marriage equality? No idea what they mean by that?

[lwoodham]

Well hell. I’m going to follow her right now...> off to Twitter

[Jacob Kell]

Did you read the article?

[Aria]

I mentioned that Mark was not hosting today.

You forgot Commander Cain who also became a woman (Admiral Helena Cain).

Ron Moore finally confessed he turned Starbuck into a woman for the publicity. The crew also admitted the only reason the "gritty" "realistic" PC re-imagined version was titled Battlestar Galactica was they wanted the name for marketing purposes.

[Gene Eric]

>> and what was his answer?

He called Levin’s show. We should know.

[montag813]

It is still incomprehensible to me how this guy could have left his gun in such a position so as to be shot to death by a 4 year old.

[montag813]

She played Jack Bauer’s daughter on 24

Nope. She played a traitor agent who Jack shot to death in cold blood.

Read the entire article with accompanying graph. She’s never been close to 200,000.
