:: Ted Turner: the Media Turnip
Ted Turner says that 9-11 Was Act of Desperation and that

"I think they were brave at the very least," Turner said of the 19 airliner hijackers believed to have committed the attacks, adding that they "might have been a little nuts."

How can one be brave and nuts at the same time? Like the standards for what a hero is, ie, victims are heros these days, the standards of bravery are in sad disarray. Worse, the fixation with celebrities and their drivel, on and off screen, has long overstayed its welcome. Fantasy was once a personal diversion. It has become a public obsession. Practicing self restraint, I cede the soapbox.
