BSG, blossoms, Bibles and bees

Pop Candy: Links to this interview with BSG executive producer Ron Moore discussing Sunday's finale. The final five are "fundamentally different." He says it twice.

Boing Boing: Lawrence M. Small, the guy who sold out the Smithsonian's video collection to Showtime, has resigned without severance — "after an internal audit showing that the museum complex had paid for his routine use of lavish perks like chauffeured cars, private jets, top-rated hotels and catered meals." Reading the entire article in the NYTimes... it says the Smithsonian's board, which includes Dick Cheney and Chief Justice John Roberts, approved all but $90,000 of the perks. So that's what you do with taxpayers' money, huh?

Slate: Guess I'll be missing the cherry blossoms when I visit D.C. late next month. Darn it. Also, David Plotz continues to blog the Bible. Best quote from the Book of Proverbs? "He who greets his fellow [neighbor] loudly early in the morning shall have it reckoned to him as a curse." Hallelujah!

Screens: The Huckabees tapes... Love it! Even if I didn't (not-so-)secretly (now) love Dustin Hoffman, I would love this. Although, I do feel bad that Lilly Tomlin is so upset. She seems really rattled.
