Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 17, 2016
Transcript:
Janis: These reporters never ask substantive questions! They just focus on numbers and political gossip! Arlo: They've learned more people will watch this! Arlo: Nobody wants a boring policy wonk. Everyone wants excitement! Arlo: We live in the proverbial 'interesting times'!

Ah yes, the so-called Chinese curse. (No reference of it has ever been found in Chinese records.)

I agree with Janis, what is worse is when someone tries to ask a substantial question they get attacked by the candidates.

Capitalist elite have perverted journalism into “entertainment” to increase their wealth and decrease democracy.

No one should let facts get in the way of electing the most powerful position on Earth.

Exactly correct, capt mutt. A certain candidate most of all, deflects any tough questions with a personal attack or threat of a lawsuit to someone else. Typical political move to not answer a question.

jvploch, the problem with that logic is Clinton has never done anything illegal…The FBI, CIA, Secret Service, military intelligence, 5 special prosecutors and 8 grand juries would have found something, don’t you think? She’s had every detail of her life questioned for 25 years. It turns out it is just the accusations of her enemies that they find and they never pan out mostly because they are lies about her………

“The earliest strong match known to QI appeared in a March 1936 newspaper report in “The Yorkshire Post” of West Yorkshire, England. ".“Sir Austen Chamberlain, addressing the annual meeting of Birmingham Unionist Association last night, spoke of the “grave injury” to collective security by Germany’s violation of the Treaty of Locarno..“It is not so long ago that a member of the Diplomatic Body in London, who had spent some years of his service in China, told me that there was a Chinese curse which took the form of saying, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ There is no doubt that the curse has fallen on us.”.Note: Even though that is supposed to be the first time it is definitely down on print, it is possible Sir Austen was telling the truth and that the man who told him was telling the truth and that the Chinese people he met at the time actually said it but were among the some 40 million Chinese people wiped out by Mao as being counterrevolutionary..No way to know now.
