Predator drones in the sky over Minneapolis. Lovely. Tell me again how an armed populace is going to be the last line of defense against tyranny? -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 09:55 13
- Birds in the sky, you know how I feel... -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 13:20
- *blink* Who's flying those or controlling or whatever? The Air Force retired the Predator in favor of the current Reaper - JD May 29, 10:16 7
  - I assume it's the National Guard. -- nm - Mop May 29, 10:19 3
    - Or they're using the term "Predator drone" generically. -- nm - Mop May 29, 10:20 2
      - Actually very similar to how the Air National Guard has received hand me down aircraft from the Air Force, there are indeed ANG Predator squadrons -- nm - JD May 29, 10:21 1

  - Border Patrol -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 10:17 2

I gave Zoey's S1 a B/B-. But the last episode as everyone had suggested was pretty darn good -- nm - prayformojo May 29, 09:50 4
- Yeah. I was mixed on the season overall but the final episode was a definite A. -- nm - Dano May 29, 09:59
- I thought the season peaked at Fight Song, but they definitely found their rhythm along the way. -- nm - David May 29, 09:53

    - I thought the new rule was no fact checking... -- nm - Beaker May 29, 09:55 2

- I don't know if there's a show that ran more hot and cold - Reagen May 29, 09:51 1

Don Lemon with the truth bombs. -- (link) - Mop May 29, 09:44 2
