The only tv news I watch is The Daily Show. Seriously.
That's my policy. And the Colbert Reporrr. Though that is less essential and I will bail after the bullet points.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Nope. It doesn't have a happy ending.
I assumed as much. I'll even go out on a limb and say I'm also making assumptions as to how it ends.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
About CSI (this season, not this ep) and the pornstache, an interview with George Eads:
"I simply, kind of, didn't shave my upper lip the couple of sessions," he says. "And then I just didn't realize so many people were paying attention. If it was up to me, I'd keep it. But it's not. And there are reasons that Nick grew it that are reasons other than why I did. But I'm going to leave that up to the fans to think for themselves what those possibilities would be. I know why."
Of course googling "George Eads" moustache gets a lot of negativity.

Yeah, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Sorry. Ignore me and enjoy your sleeping babies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
More on the accident:
Because the airport was built in the age of propeller planes and is landlocked by the neighborhood, it has abnormally short runways.
The overrun area at the end of the runway is much smaller than at most major airports, leaving pilots an exceptionally small margin for error. In severe winter weather, pilots aim to land the plane hard at the very beginning of the runway, giving themselves as much room to stop as possible. Because of the short runways, 757s are the largest planes that can land there. The much larger jumbo jets, such as the 767s, 777s and 747s, regularly land at O'Hare International Airport.
Huh. So at almost any other airport, it wouldn't have been this bad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is just very sad, and random.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Of course googling ... gets a lot of negativity.You say that like it's a bad thing. It is a mark of sanity to fear that thing.

The inciting incident is creepy, but this sounds like a worthwhile discussion.
This debate is now taking place at Taft, where the principal at the Edison Park school has called a meeting next week of parents and students to discuss the "legal and moral issues involved with blogging."

Teacher/student fantasies seems over the line. But the whole job venting thing is a weird place.
Check out this movie synopsis:
IN Speed, Keanu Reeves had to keep driving a booby-trapped bus at 50 mph at least or it would explode. In Crank, Jason Statham is a hitman who's been shot up with a Chinese poison that will kill him if his adrenaline level drops. Amy Smart (above), who plays his girlfriend, told the Chicago Sun Times: "What Jason must do to keep his adrenaline up is insane. He has to hammer nails into his legs, snort coke and have crazy sex in public."
eta: Speaking of crazy sex in public (okay, not, speaking of ER) -- what crafty bastards with the Luka/Abby fakeout -- that's a great promo.
