Review of Joss Whedon's dollhouse, Season One

I came to the new show of Mr Whedon with some worry, have seen clips of the show but had only seen the final full show, unseen in the USA. The clips I had seen had me confused, also the premise of the show that people could have their minds wiped and replaced with new imprints for the pleasure of clients had me worried to say the least. Then I bought the box set, have to admit I am a fan of Buffy, Angel and FireFly all by Joss Whedon, thus know he produces, directs and writes excellent shows, thus was it worth it, and answer is YES. Its is an excellent show, should note that it has 15 rating. It deal with what is oneself, what is the soul, is dramatic, even funny, of course Eliza Dushku is fantastic, stunning, dramatic, funny and she can sing. A bit of fan of Faith from Buffy and Angel and True Calling! Thus worth a look, also the show has gotten a second second, will be interesting to see what direction they go, my only needle is the premise, this is quite a Conservative Blog, but its up there with Buffy/Angel but more darker, how can shows that dealt with Vampires be more darker, simple its about humans minus Vampires, and lets be honest humans have a great light but also great darkness, it can be argued that humans need both but with the exception of politics; that is all cynic and thank god for that; prefer the light, this is a Conservative Blog after all folks.

Not Talking to Allies - Obama's Arrogance AGAIN!

Fox News: Reports that the Polish Government was informed that the USA was scrapping the missile defence shield, it was not a negotiation between Allies. This does recall when Neville Chamberlain sold out Czechoslovakia in 1938 at Munich, has Obama started another Munich, but not this time for the Poland and the Czech Republic but for the Ukraine. Poland and the Czech Republic are in NATO, thus are protected by treaty, even if Obama wanted to sell them out he cant, there are limits to the power of Obama. The decision over the missile defence could allow Russia to move in to the Ukraine, they see a weak President and react, lets recall last year they invaded Georgia, lucky Bush 43 was in the White House, the response from then Senator Obama was mild, appeasement has its origins. The tough talk by Bush 43 forced the Russians out, after the tepid response of Obama to the democratic riots in Iran, if your Western supporter like the Ukraine and Georgia, would you trust an Obama Administration to come to your aid should Russian take military action. Thus the road paved in the light of appeasement might have started on the 17th of September 2009, Russia and Iran might take advantage of this weakness and thus the West has another Jimmy Carter in the Oval Office.

The New York Times and Missile Defence

The New York Times: Interesting News Anaylsis by the Liberal NYT, one gets the impression that the US paper of record is not completely on board with the Obama plan to sell out Poland and the Czech Republic, the NYT writes the following, " Rather than focusing first on protecting the continental United States, it shifts the immediate effort to defending Europe and the Middle East. " Also the Liberal NYT has set President Obama challenge, as the article states the original point of Ronald Reagan's SDI project or Star Wars was to protect the USA, Obama has moved the goal posts, even left the USA a target, as the NYT writes Obama could could come under critical review for such a policy move, I thought the main duty of the the President of the United States was to protect the USA. The challenge by the Liberal New York Times to President Obama is can he be another Reagan, can he make his missile defence system work, not in practice but in the political sphere, can he be another Reagan.
