The Coolest Women In History Part 1: Jael of Judges

There is an unfortunate lack of heroes in our world today, for both men and women alike.  If I ever have daughters or nieces, I wonder who they will admire and look up to.  The list of poor role models is so huge as to be embarrassing.  So I thought I'd create a list of my favorite women through history for your reading pleasure and provide the world with a few greater options for women to admire. 

Jael (Judges 4):  That right, I'm starting out this mess by first mentioning an obscure person from the Bible you probably haven't heard of, but you should because this chick has got style.

Another Reason Why Community Is The Best Show On Network Television (meaning: its the only one worth watching)

Someday people will talk about Community with regret, asking themselves why they didn't appreciate the show when it originally aired.  If they had appreciated the show then perhaps the cast's escapades could have been enjoyed for more than a few seasons.  And as the masses bemoan their misfortune I will be standing above them to scream: "I told you so!"

NBC is putting Community to the sidelines at the end of this year with no set plans on what will happen afterwards.  One can hope that it will return but there is no certainty.  More than likely it will go the way of Arrested Development and only really find appreciation on DVD when its too late. 

This is all too bad because its the best comedy on tv right now and the only reason I watch network tv any longer (Tyler = TV snob.  I will not apologize).  There is a long list of reasons why this show is so brilliant and fun that I will spare you of an extensive list right now.  For now lets enjoy the brilliance of a joke that took three seasons to pull off and was so subtle hardly anyone noticed (I certainly didn't) until this clip surfaced on the internets.  Enjoy some Beetlejuice humor and marvel!
