A tsunami is a giant, watery explosion
Seriously, a reporter on MSNBC said that a few minutes ago. And the purpose of his report was to explain what a tsunami is. This is what I learn after shunning TV news (and TV in general, for the most part) for two months. I've turned it back off.

4. We are doomed.
Ignorance has reached critical mass in this country - Chimpy was right, we HAVE turned a corner. And we're heading right down the street into a new Dark Ages.

5. Tell me about it!
I see this post in GD about the whole world vibrating, so I turn on the TV to find out WTF. And the guy on CNN goes, "But, hey, it's party time." No idea what preceded that. So I turn to MSNBC, and no sooner do I find out what's going on than I hear this idiotic line.

TV is something we do not need. Try turning it off for a month, then turn it back on and see how bizarre it is.
