Summary
I tried an experiment of reading news and taking notes as if I didn’t really care about the country involved. Then, I immediately recorded this ‘Cast, to tell you what my pretend, “interested observer” saw and how it hit him (teaser-alert: I made a mental note to not drink the water when I visit there.) Some observations: the United States government only has about 100 people they can ever hire for any position of importance, I guess the other 300 million people are mentally deficient.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Whoever sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence. Like a lame man's legs, which hang useless, is a proverb in the mouth of fools. ...
