Faith and Hope

These two words now represent more than just the best sitcom in the history of animalia: They also represent the most overused sentiments in the news right now.

As nice as it would be to hear news that could actually be constructive, the media is obsessed with beating dead horses, killing them, and roasting them into a fine stew of sorts. Stop with the "All we can do is pray" disaster stories. Tell us how to improve the future so that this praying can exist in an inevitably weather-prone environment with people who realise that their "God" or whatnot has provided them with the ability to reason and solve problems.

Sad these stories are, yes, says Yoda. And some of the stories can actually provide excellent insight into modern culture and the human condition. But tired do these stories soon get, Yoda continues. And wishing I could get a date that isn't my mom, says anonymous Star Wars fan.

That's right. I went out on a limb and called Star Wars fans nerds. But little did you know that I also made a cheap Star Wars joke so that I could now reference Episode IV: A New Hope, and tie up this little installment with a word from the title of the entry.
