Fighting Terrorism in Primetime

D.H.S. – The Series … “a multimillion-dollar episodic series, will explore the inner workings of the Department of Homeland Security, teaming the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, and National Security Administration (NSA) together with “first responders” such as local police, fire and safety administrators.”

The series is being pitched to prospective networks today and has the full support of President Bush and Tom Ridge. “They love it. They think it is fantastic,” say the producers at Steeple Productions, located in the Seventh-Day Adventist Community of Zillah, Washington. Not familiar with Steeple Productions? Well, perhaps you might find their four-episode “Creation Vs Evolution ” series entertaining. Or frightening.

The D.H.S. graphic leads me to believe that these warriors will be fighting Al Qaida through the tactical use of prayer.

    Hmm. I can’t wait to get D.H.S. on DVD for my HDTV in NYC.

    This show was supposed to premier about 160 years ago, but it got delayed in Post Production and the Adventists have altered everything, but still taken a lot of ribbing for it.

    Kind of makes you think that Michael Moore’s argument that the sensationalist media is out there to scare the living *bleep* out of us and make sure that we re-elect presidents who are sponsored by corporate America isn’t quite so far-fetched.
