Great Stuff!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the new Carl Sagan. I've been watching his series (on NOVA) for the second time, and this week I confirmed that the one on Cosmology is my favorite. The story of Cosmology is so obviously superior to the story of Genesis that I am amazed most of my fellow men and women still stick with the VOOT myth. I live in a world full of idiots.

The other real standout this week, insofar as great television is concerned, was 'The Road to 9-11,' a documentary which aired on PBS Sunday night. My notes read, 'Attaturk! Spectacular! Very educational! The piece begins with the end of the Ottoman (being gassed here) Empire after the end of WWI and proceeds from there to describe the downward spiral of Muslim integrity leading to 9-11. I found it fascination from the point of view of a 'history ignoramus.'
