Cybernetic Change We Can Believe In
We've already noted the overt visual similarities between John McCain and Saul Tigh, but this weekend's All-Sarah-Palin-All-The-Time Media Circus caused several observant bloggers (whose names/URLs I've unfortunately Cmd+W'd and thus are lost to the ether) to note a not dissimilar look between Laura Roslin and Sarah Palin.
