“The Most Honest Three Minutes In Television History” is the title of this scene from the HBO series “The Newsroom“.
I have my opinions about the show, but Jeff Daniels’ character does make a valid point about our generation being the “Worst Generation”. He also says at the end, that the reason why are no longer the greatest country in the world is because the citizens are not as informed as they used to be. Does that sound like the typical Obama voter?

A man died and went to heaven, where he met St. Peter sitting at a desk in the middle of a great hall. On the walls were millions of clocks.
“What are those used for?” he asked. St. Peter said, “There’s one of them for every living person on Earth ticking out the days of their lives.” The newcomer noticed that the hands of some of the clocks were moving faster than others. “Why do they move at different speeds?” he asked. St. Peter said, “Every time you tell a lie, you lose one hour of your life and your clock speeds up.” The newcomer looked around and then asked, “Do you have one of these for my local politician?” St. Peter answered, “Sure! It’s in the back room. We use it for a ceiling fan.” |
