They are sure trying hard to be centrist.

the first one is the best, alternating from great to what were the writers thinking, scene to scene. second best is the simpson parody, after that, dont bother.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Unfortunately, I haven't watched any American news channels these days. It's mostly sensationalist journalism these days.

But I'll take a gander at it.

I watch CNN because Anthony Bourdain was there.

They actually covered a theory that the plane was sucked into a black hole.

So, for stuff in the first category, the flu and the common cold, and for the second, stuff like prions?

Wow. This is really sad.

Besides, if a black hole swallowed up a plane, what would stop it from taking the planet with it?

Good stuff.
