Caesar: Isn't it interesting how all the different news channels have cool titles and logos for their coverage? It's almost like watching a miniseries. Let's see. Channel 2 is "America's vengeance,"channel 12 is "America at war," and channel 33 is "America strikes back." Huey: How about "America stops and thinks about why some people hate us"? Caesar: Doesn't quite lend itself to a John Williams-style theme song, does it?

RE – “why they hate us”: I recall Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright giving a sermon in 2003, about chickens coming home to roost and Obama catching holy hell from the Right… because the guy told the dam’d truth. Google his words, they’re powerful still.
