Community Fan For Life!!!!

The show has gotten almost no major award love, mainly because so few people actually watched it and the reliance or references to nerd-culture or niche items like Dungeons and Dragons (which resulted in one of the finest episodes not just of Community, but of comedy period in the last 20 years), puppets, paintball (two amazing episodes here), Doctor Who (Inspector Spacetime), The Right Stuff, M*A*S*H, spaghetti westerns, Batman, Who’s the Boss, and so many other strange tidbits probably just flew over the head of the voters. While Downton Abbey has been racking up hardware, Community has been racking up cool points. That’s about as accurate a description as is available to explain how the program has been on for five years, delighting a vast majority of critics, but never making a dent in the mainstream or on the red carpet. In this case, it’s less a disappointment than it is expected. It doesn’t matter that Community isn’t highly decorated. We all just know it’s fantastic. That’s enough.
NBC did a horrendous, almost non-existent job in advertising the show or acting as if they cared whether it was on the schedule or not. Despite those shortcomings, Community is going to be with us forever. Six seasons when it felt like three might be the ceiling. Six seasons when the creator and lifeblood of the show was fired after the fourth year. Six seasons when NBC brought it back and burned it off, then quietly axed it. Six seasons because Yahoo offered Harmon a chance to keep it going on their new Yahoo Screen technology and finally, because, as Harmon himself described it at last year’s Comic Con:
Yahoo called me and they seemed really smart and cool. I thought – I cannot be the one to not do this.
And, Dan, as a result of your unflinching vision and your willingness to risk it all every week to tell the story you wanted, outside of the network that seemed merely to tolerate your show, as a result of your amazing cast, almost all extremely likable on and off screen, and as a result of something truly unique on a medium that can fall into extreme malaise, particularly in comedy — as a result of all of that.
You’re number five bro. And that’s, in the words of Abed, “cool cool cool cool cool.”
All five current seasons of Community are available on Hulu and the sixth season will begin in March, exclusively on the new Yahoo Screen streaming service. You’ve got time to catch up.

What better way to honor the fallen 44 than to complete the mission that caused their deaths.

Aquino to MILF: Clear the way.
This was the message sent by President Benigno Aquino III to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chief peace negotiator as government security forces moved to intensify the hunt for Afghan-trained terrorist Abdul Basit Usman.
The Inquirer learned from a well-placed source that Mr. Aquino sent the message to Mohagher Iqbal through Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Deles shortly after 44 elite police commandos were killed in a clash with Moro guerrillas in Mamasapano town, Maguindanao province, on Sunday.
In his message to Iqbal, the President asked for three things: For the MILF to surrender Usman if some of its fighters were coddling him; to help the government get Usman; and for MILF base commands to clear the way for government security forces to operate and get Usman.

Quimbo, however, warned that the Department of Finance and the Bureau of Internal Revenue have jointly launched a lobby drive to veto the bill increasing to P82,000 the tax exemption ceiling for the 13th-month pay and other bonuses.
“I’ve [received information] that the DOF, BIR are lobbying for the President to veto the bill raising tax-exempt ceiling of the bonuses,” he said.
Quimbo said that these agencies are pushing for an issuance of an administrative order fixing the tax exemption ceiling for bonuses to P55,000.

If the BBL becomes law those 44 slain policeman must be declared heroes of the peace accords for their blood was spilled and yet it seems the guilty part will get away with the fucking massacre. I grieve for our natio.

 
MILF ignored ceasefire call
The MILF refused to heed the monitoring team’s call for a ceasefire, he said.
The firefight continued and the containment or blocking force was pinned down in an open field, he said.
“They could see each other. It was close-quarters combat. Those who were killed were from our containment force,” Napeñas said.
He said the deaths of 44 of his men pained him.
“I cannot explain how I feel,” he said, his voice cracking. “I love those boys. I cannot take my men’s welfare lightly. They were courageous men, and it pains me more to hear talk that we did this for the reward.”
