I know there's all kinds of elisions and revisions when it comes to Biblical translations over the years, but there's degrees of things.

I personally think that if I had to choose a Jesus, Space Jesus would definitely be my first choice. Wizard Jesus (Christian Science) would be at a close second, mind.

I'm from Shoshone county in Idaho. Wooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Also Mormon churches are quite easy to spot. They mostly have those damned spires. Good to know if you like to shake your fist at judgemental assholes.

You guys, I'm really sad that Peter O'Toole is dead. It's been several months I know, but I was just listening to Paul F. Tompkins doing the King of Coffee bit, and it made me miss O'Toole.

I think maybe Wolf was raised by a family of network executives and they kept him prisoner on CNN and now he got loose into the tunnels and doesn't want to come out.

Why is American news always so flashy? I mean everything is always presented like it is the biggest thing in the world, but in reality it's just some old guy creeping through tunnel.

News companies think that Americans are dense, low attention span, entertainment craving morons. It is possible they are right. When the first Malaysian Airlines flight disappeared, CNN's coverage of it got them the highest ratings they had had in years so from then on out it was all MH 370 all the time.

Also 24hour news channels are about to face the same crisis that print journalism does and that's that they are becoming an increasingly obsolete way of getting news and basically wouldn't exist except for the need to put something inoffensive on TVs in waiting rooms.

CNN is way out in front on that, since it's the network that's already playing in waiting rooms where the anchors spend most of their time just reading tweets.

CNN in particular is pretty much carried at this point by the fact that it's the least 'offensive/partisan' cable channel and thus gets played in airport lounges and doctor's waiting rooms, and you've got to fill that time you're spending not doing real journalism with something. But the focus on the sensational over the mundane in American media has been some time in the making.

Thank you for reminding me what it's like to watch CNN and why I never do that even at airports.

I have to say the breathless 24/7 cycle has its moments. I was sitting in an airport terminal during the Deepwater Horizon blowup and I swear that at one point while CNN just cycled through talking heads next to a live-feed from the little robot they'd sent down there I caught the robot just desperately whacking the valve with a big wrench.
