I actually made it through her entire post – does that mean I’m eligible now for the Showcase Showdown?

I’m sorry, I just noticed you can get Maalox from Amazon.com (?) (!!)

Yes, the Daleks are scary again. They’ve been able to go up stairs on-camera since 1988 or so, but they were recently upgraded with a bullet-deflecting forcefield and the ability to move through space.

Sci Fi is showing the second series of the new Doctor Who Fridays at 8 (sorry, all you Olbermann junkies!). The Daleks haven’t shown up yet, but both the Daleks and the Cybermen are featured in the two-part story at the end of this series. I highly recommend that you try to watch from this point on. The Compleat DVD set of the first series is in stores now; the second is coming out January 16th. Well worth the money, I think.

I’m sorry, now I’ve dribbled nerd all over myself. Excuse me . . . .

ahh, Dysons & Daleks! Me luvs my Dyson. It’s amazing what fine particles it’ll pick up. When you are writing letters & spill the Borax in the basement or get too many Cheetos & Taco Bell crumbs stuck in the keyboard, you want a Dyson in your corner.

I thought the Daleks were pretty lame. Shorter British sci fi: stories are just as crappy as Yanks’ sci fi, but sets & costumes are at a kindergarten level!

Dude, didn’t you hear, they can go up stairs now.

But yeah, always thought the Daleks were lame. Now the Cybermen, they were damn scary. Like the Borg, but they didn’t suck.

Daleks are one of those “oddly terrorizing aliens that barly classify as mobile” things. Like, the bad alien (dude ina suit) could barely move, I was never really clear on how they were supposed conquer anything. Just put a steep incline in their path, they’ll never make it up that.
Much as I enjoy Doctor Who, daleks were pretty lame. Never fear anything slower then a lawn tractor.

The fact is that the “Dyson” is not really a vacuum cleaner… it’s actually a Dalek in drag. One by one they infiltrate our home, waiting for the signal from the home planet for the invasion to begin. Yes, really.

Ooooo, I have that vacuum cleaner. Dyson. Very good for cleaning house.

Maybe Malkin is just looking to the future … when Republican handouts for “journalists” are sparser than they are today. A kind word here, an endorsement there and suddenly corporations have access to a market that will buy just about anything.

The Mercury Theater of Hot Air? Little Green Footballs brought to you by Kleenex? Michelle Malkin, sponsored by W.A.S.T.E. (We Await Silent Tristero’s Empire) and Yoyodyne?

Brave new worlds of marketing!

Sorry to be so off-topic. You were saying something about Malkin?

Spic & Span, Wow! that takes me back. The powder smells so good and looks so pretty; I ate some when I was little*. Fortunately, when I held the tea party with bleach, I gave my teddy-bear the first drink.

It’s not like it didn’t run in the family. My baby brother burned his mouth on drain cleaner. (Should have given his teddy-bear dibs.)

*I was going to say that safety-standards were different in the ’60s. But once I started adding things up I realized that my mother just took the Darwinian approach to child-rearing.

er, that should read ‘it must be in declining usage’.

Herr Doktor, it must be iniclining usage, as I was born in Australia in the early eighties, I’ve never been out of the country, and yet I’ve never ever heard the expression in my life.

Malkin is clearly withholding comment until the truth comes out, which is that this Chad guy changed his name from Faisal Al-Killiya as part of an attempt by the jihadis to discredit the real patriots.
I mean, come on, a fan of Ann Coulter but misogynistic? Gotta be fake.
