- Today, Paris is the capital of the world.
- They say that nothing is going to be accomplished here; the division is wider than ever, so gridlock will be even greater. No, this won’t be done in a tidy way. The battle of ideas never ends, and, frankly, never should.
- The movie Selma is a story about the American Civil Rights movement that totally worked and now everything is fine.

- The Interview may be the most elaborately marketed movie of all time.
- Wrongful convictions are a slow, torturous process. It would be so much simpler to be choked out and die at the hands of a cop than to spend the rest of your life in hell based on the malicious acts of a cop.
