The Dead Zone channels Top Gun

Did anyone see "Hollywood psychics" last night.
What a flag-waving, our-brave-boys, P.O.S. !

Everybody on our side is a good guy. The stinking
Moslems are inhuman, SMERSH-like scum, whose
lives don't matter at all, who don't even get to
speak in English because they are just a plot device.

No Rumsfeld and his airlift that was hijacked by
Pakistani intelligence. No CIA guys torturing
anybody. No weddings bombed.

Just caring, loving psychic warriors out to rid
the world of evil. And lots of tech toys, explosions,
and soldier-gear they can't bother to give our troops
in Iraq. I wonder how much the CIA paid for this
morale-boosting jingoism?

If Stephen King is against the war, he ought to say
something about his plot being drafted for service by
the Pentagon.

1. This episode came out way before the Iraqi War.

I'ts a year old.....There was a lot of public anger then about Osama.

Now the focus went to Saddam, who had nothng to do with 911....but we could beat his ass......steal the oil.....

Osama is free and clear and laughing his hairy ass off...

2. I forgot it was on until 9:30

but, when I turned it on I watched maybe a minute. I think maybe they've lost a viewer. It's not King writing this, it's based upon his novel The Deadzone.
