A little bit OT, but...
Peter Finch's greatest performance. I wish we had our own Howard Beale in this day and age. Can you imagine Anderson Cooper or Joe Scarborough standing up during their show and giving a speech like that regarding our current "keep me safe" mentality? I can't, and it's a shame.
I think Jon Stewart occasionally comes close to that level of brilliance with a combination of anger and sarcasm (see the 9/11 responders bill), but it would be nice to see one of the "serious" ones do the same.
