The Write Stuff
"Most intelligent people realise that actual, honest-to-God holding-power-to-account journalism is one of the most vital things we have as a society. And equally most of us are smart enough to know that the people doing that journalism need to be paid to do it full time, even if, traditionally, that pay has been pathetic considering the hours they put in, and the dangers many face." -thoughts from the Guardian's Paul Carr. The rest of the article is pretty interesting, too.

Religulous
The entire documentary was good, but this was one of the more entertaining conversations:
Bill Maher: You're a Senator. You are one of the very few people who are really running this country. It worries me that people are running my country who think - who believe - in a talking snake [the creation story].
Mark Pryor (D, Ark.): You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate, though.
