Hello readers, Posted by: Ric Nimrod 4-1-01 12:01am Allow me to introduce myself; I am Ric Nimrod. I will be your host in this very special column. Just what these columns will be about is anybody's guess but I intend to spew out my banal opinions on the world, sex, love, politics, and how it all relates to Star Wars (the only thing that really matters). That said, I will begin my inaugural column. Is it just me, or is shit getting weird? Today I was driving home from the radio station I work at and was listening to a talk radio program (on a different station). The discussion was about the probability of human cloning and how President Bush is trying to stop the testing of this process. The host went on to say that it probably would be only two years from now that testing will begin to happen. WOW, cloning. Cloning being banned (at least publicly) by a political leader who basically stole his leadership in a corrupt and scandalous election. Sounds like it could be a plot line in one of my favorite film franchises. All I have to say about this is Lucas better get his next two Star Wars films released soon or cloning will be a reality rather than science fiction fodder. And if cloning is so close to reality, then why not light sabers and blasters. I would love to blast the heck outta the car of the jerk that takes up two parking spots. The next time you are in line at the grocery store and the lady in front of you only has a box of tampons and a quart of ice cream THEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO PULL OUT A CHECK BOOK AND WRITE A CHECK THUS PROLONGING YOUR VISIT TO THIS HORRIBLE ESABLISHMENT OF CAPITALISM. Well… just ignite 'ol sparky and chop her check book in two. No need to worry about any consequences, I have a stockpile of clones at home that will take the rap. ANYHOO... That's it for this column. It was nice meeting you. Next time I will present my State of Star Wars address. Till Then, Ric Nimrod
