Scotty beamed up for the last time

To a long time fan such as me, this is a sad day. I always enjoyed all the Star Trek episodes, even though some were quite cheesy. Doohan was one of my favorite characters (meaning Scotty) and brought a little personality to the show beyond Shatner's over the top acting. I enjoyed the later appearance he made on STNG as well. He will be missed.

Let's redirect the news media

Let's get our news media focused on the genocide happening in Darfur and off Tom Cruise. Our weak news outlets have given 12x as much coverage to Cruise as it has Sudan. Let's all go to the above link and let them know that their coverage choices are out of line! When was the last story you saw on the Darfur genocide? I can't remember myself, but too long ago.
