Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

Is this the end for the Rebel scum?

A large number of Anonymous hackers (alleged) were recently arrested in an interpol operation.

What will this mean for the future of the organization, whose members have been called terrorists, vandals, and freedom fighters?

Even Glenn Beck thinks these guys may be 1/2 good. Wonder which 'side' of these folks got nabbed.



( Of course, 'eyes only' turns out to be none other than ncis very special agent, Tony Dinozzo. )

Indeed. There is life after FOX

He still has his nationally syndicated radio show, as well as some web show, GBTV.com.

Did someone say "rebel scum"?

How reassuring for them.

Hey, that "rebel scum" line was from Return of the Jedi. Anthony, Kwicko, stay on target... er topic.

Some ESB related stuff:

Aside from the widescreen, the "Special" Editon is pointless.

John Ratzenberger was in it! He was that Rebel officer who said "Everybody to your stations, let's go!"

General Veer's may have been totally cold, but you gotta give him props for being the only Imperial officer to finish a mission successfully. (Oh, and he was also a bad guy in The Last Crusade!)

After R2 gets spit out by the big fish, Luke says "You're lucky you don't taste very good".

I think that padlock looking thing that Lando has, when he's going through the Falcon's top hatch, is a harness so he doesn't fly out the opening. It gets pretty windy out there.

Not that I agree with the sentiment or anything, but this seems like the right place to drop this graphic:
