Soliloquizing: Overloaded

Okay, I heard some funny shit...or saw some funny shit on tv last night, rather. Why do they have a nationwide toll free hotline that is supposed to help you prepare for terrorist acts. A "How To..." hotline, if you will? You're supposed to be able to call the joint any time, 24/7. But wait, can't terrorists call that number, too?! Do they have a screening of some sort to decide who gets potentially life saving information? Perhaps ethnic background will come in to play... Found that commercial to be rather hilarious.
Oh, Smallville's season finale was rather dope. I've really taken a liking to that show. Unfortunately, I missed like the first season and a half due to skepticism. How many superhero tv shows have they had that were utter garbage? Mantis- the black scientific genius in a whel chair turned super power hero via a mechanical super suit. Birds of Prey- WB show of the daughter of Catwoman and Batman, co- starring Shemar Moore...need I say Moore, err, More? How many have been decent or engaging, but flopped due to lack of viewers? Lois & Clark. The Flash- massive special effects budget was the ultimate demise of this Friday night show. But, Smallville is actually good...despite being on the WB. And I am not a fan of Superman. He's a cornball super hero. I mean, why let someone punch you around if you can freze them with super breath, burn them with heat vision, you're faster than a speeding bullet? Faster than a speeding bullet, and people are hitting you. Oh, and he's hell strong! I can't see it, dog. I will admit that I loved the Superman movies as a kid, although 3 and 4 were pretty bad (especially 4). The quest for peace...give me a break. Superman II still rocks, tho'. I can sit and watch that joint still.
Conversely, the series finale to Buffy was mediocre. Comical, but some scenes truly lacked any depth. I know...it's Buffy, but bare with me people. I am of course keeping that in perspective. They killed Spike, one of the coolest cats on the whole damn show, and both the black people seemed to be holding on to life by a thread.

Oh, Charli Brown, I looked up the Persephone joint for you...I thought she was a muse for some reason. I'll have to check in to that one. But anyways, here's what I found to be consistent when I looked her up:
Persephone (pur-SEF-uh-nee)

Beautiful daughter of Zeus and Demeter; sometimes considered an Olympian. While gathering flowers in a field one day, Persephone was abducted to the Underworld by Hades, who arose in his chariot from a fissure in the ground. Demeter, goddess of the harvest, was heartbroken, and while she wandered the length and breadth of the earth in search of her daughter, the crops withered and it became perpetual winter. At length Hades was persuaded to surrender Persephone for one half of every year, the spring and summer seasons when flowers bloom and the earth bears fruit once more. The half year that Persephone spends in the Underworld as Hades' queen coincides with the barren season. The heroes Peirithous and Theseus attempted to abduct Persephone and bring her back to the land of the living.

Why do you talk to Zod like this when you know he will kill you for it? ~Zod from Superman II
PS- Hey, did ya'll peep out Zod in Episode I of Star Wars in the counselate meeting when Amidala plead no- confidence? Yep, that was him. Oh, and a bunch of E.T.'s were in that same scene. The joke was that E.T, saw a Yoda doll in E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and said "Hoooooome" as if to signify he actually recognized Yoda (from home).
PPS- The dude that played Willow was also in Episode ! of Star Wars during the pod race sequence...
