You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

President Roslin's action sees her draw 4 Quorum cards and play one. She has chosen to play:

Arrest Order

Admiral Valerii, you have been placed under arrest. You have been escorted to the Brig and stripped of the Admiral's title. President Roslin is now Pradmiral Roslin.

That concludes the Pradmiral's action. Pradmiral Roslin, I am sending you two Crisis Cards. Please post your choice of which one to play.

I'll call you "Two-Sheds Jackson", if that's ok with you.

Anyway, Two-Sheds has chosen the Crisis Card:

Food Shortage - A
President's Choice

And the President's Choice is to lose 2 Food. That was simple.

Cylon Activation: Raiders. The raiders in Sector 6 are going to fire upon the RSVs in the Sector. (The raiders in Sector 1 are going to move to Sector 6.) Boomer, you're the only person left drawing Red cards. You might like to give some thought to your Evasive Maneouvres interrupt policy.

Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss. Team Human catches a break. Two breaks, in fact:

Jump Prep: Yes.

That concludes Pradmiral Two-Sheds' turn. Dr Baltar, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.

Our raiders suck. Are we sure Starbuck isn't one of Us? If she were, we could bullet-in-the-brainpan her and get some REAL talent flying against the meatbags.

Hi Dr. Hi Sir.

(thinks: well, at least I don't have to watch my commanding officer humping the skin job. Although there is still the creepy doc humping the air over there. NO clue what that is all about)

I tried Sir's. So, we need to focus on getting ONE of us out of here, and that crazy bitch back in!

Minor administrative note: all players have now either used their character's once per game ability, or surrendered it without use (in Apollo's case).
