A friend flew out of town on Sunday. While in the airport, he noticed something curious.
The RNC still had an ad running in the commercial loop on the TV monitors in the bookstores. I knew I’d heard the music before, and finally placed it … it’s the Kaled victory march! I loitered in the bookstore and watched that ad at least 3 times, just to be sure. No, I’m not kidding.
The Kaled victory march, for those of you less geeky than my friend (or all of you), is from I, Davros, a Doctor Who audio play done by Big Finish Productions.
For context: this is right after the councilors are exterminated by Davros, and Davros is making his big power play.
Davros being the leader of the Daleks. You know the Daleks.
McCain, Davros. The RNC, Daleks. Beautiful. They really couldn’t have done much better if they’d tried, now could they?
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
