(15,355 posts)You know, like in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when Griswold turns on his lights and the power plant had to bring another reactor on line?
I envisioned a Network exec sitting there at 7:57 seeing 17 Million people watching, and then at 7:58 have it go down to about 3 Million.
In my vision, they'd have to shut down a reactor.

Synopsis: True story of Robert Stroud, the prison lifer who became an expert on birds.
Dir: John Frankenheimer Cast: Burt Lancaster , Karl Malden , Thelma Ritter .
This is a wonderful film on any night, beautifully shot and directed and acted. It's a safe alternative for tonight if you are looking to avoid any news (which I am as well).
TCM can save your life during these troubling times. You need to conserve your sanity. Books, old movies, anything that can empty your mind, if only temporarily, of the depredations we are facing. You will be stronger for it in the morning.

However if you want news, BBC World Service is best for USA.
