Land of Hope and Glory time, people! Because God's in His Heaven and all's right with the world, Erin Gray's Colonel Wilma Deering has triumphed in the TexasBestGrok weekly poll.

The final results are posted at the link above; 75 voters chose Colonel Deering for 53%, while 67 voters and 47% chose Princess Ardala. You latter folk line up over here; the NKVD assassins will be by later to deal with you.

The new poll is dealing with the women of Space: 1999. I've seen some of this series, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of people haven't. If you feel like voting, however, I'm recommending the gal who I think hung out with that ersatz Alphan porn star-wannabe, Paul Morrow: Tanya Alexandria. She's in second, as of this writing.

UPDATE: The Space: 1999 poll is closed, and Tanya Alexandria remained in second, finishing behind some nominally Asian gal. Tanya was able to edge out the second-season addition, Catherine Schell's Maya, while also leaving Barbara Bain's Dr. Helena Russell, M.D., in the dust. Hooray.

P.J. O'Rourke has some remarks on things that Bush should say/have said in the debate of last night. Much thanks to The Weekly Standard for running a piece by P.J.

Friends and neighbors, there comes a time when a man has to take a stand for something, a cause for which all must be sacrificed and nothing short of absolute victory accepted. I'm not talking about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which is understood to mean the private ownership of property, but the victory of Erin Gray's Colonel Wilma Deering over Pamela Hensley's Princess Ardala.

These two actresses, and their characters, hailed from the late 1970s/early 1980s NBC camp sci-fi program, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Both had the regrettable duty of playing love interests to the dimwitted Gil Gerard, who hammed his way through the title role. I'd post pictures, but something's afuzz with my FTP access, and I can't do that right now.

Anyways. Wilma's a babe in Lycra, and she's one leg of the Holy Trinity of 1970ish Sci-Fi Television. Just punch that name into Google, and see what you get. She's far better looking than the evil Princess Ardala, and could use your support. Head on over to TexasBestGrok, and look on the left, where you can cast a vote, once per day, for this beautiful gal. See here for the post on the poll. Yours truly has already signalled his support for Wilma.

Enthusiastic waving of the Wisconsin hat to The Llama Butchers, where a campaign for Wilma's victory began and continues. To steal from a bumper sticker I see regularly, vote "W" in '04, whether it be W. the President or Wilma the Colonel.

A prior positive reference to Colonel Deering appeared here.

...to loathe Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

It's been a while back, but apparently the driver of the #8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo said, "Hey, it'll be a good bonding experience no matter what your political belief. It's a good thing as an American to go [Fahrenheit 9/11]." This information comes from a blogger's re-posting of a letter from the disingenuous filmmaker himself, so I doubt it's admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence, but hey, nobody said due process applies in giving the shiv to DEI's star driver.

Irate tip of the Wisconsin hat to Moolies.
