Who is producing this show? This segment is fine, but following a report on Iraq war money disappearances? A better segue would help the audience think about certain issues in toto. Would it kill the show to have slight "theme", or does all journalistic endeavour have to imiate the wretched "The Believer" and vy for some sort of brainy, irreverent "randomness"?
The intention is an engaging discussion of a wide scope of news topics; the effect is an inane, clumsy gearshifting.
I doubt you have the answer to this but I have a question, which would hurt worse being shot by a gun or being shot with an arrow?
