I didn't expect to learn the meaning of life today, but I'm okay with it

I'd like to add "cuts palm of hand when blood is needed for the scene" because holy crap that's a terrible place to slice. You can get blood from other places, in other ways.

It's easy to lick the boots of anyone in power when you have zero principles, integrity, or conscience.

He looks like a serial killer that is known for "defiling the corpse"

Or at the very least, the megachurches need to list their ingredients. Folks may be surprised that their church only contains trace amounts of actual bible.

The NYT has consistently framed things in favor of their controlling interests. Their coverage of Israel / Palestine is terribly biased.
