Lou Reed, Velvet Underground Leader and Rock Pioneer, Dead at 71 | Music News | Rolling Stone

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lou-reed-velvet-underground-leader-and-rock-pioneer-dead-at-71-20131027

With the Velvet Underground in the late Sixties, Reed fused street-level urgency with elements of European avant-garde music, marrying beauty and noise, while bringing a whole new lyrical honesty to rock & roll poetry. As a restlessly inventive solo artist, from the Seventies into the 2010s, he was chameleonic, thorny and unpredictable, challenging his fans at every turn. Glam, punk and alternative rock are all unthinkable without his revelatory example. "One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."

Ten Good Reasons to Hate Oprah - Page 2 | Nerve.com

http://www.nerve.com/entertainment/2010/01/11/ten-real-reasons-to-hate-oprah?page=2

7) She treats celebrities as medical experts

Giving celebrities a platform to express their fringe medical ideas as fact is not only irresponsible, but dangerous. When Jenny McCarthy took to Oprah's stage to talk about her belief that a vaccine caused her son's autism, Oprah fueled a dangerous anti-vaccine conspiracy theory that had been building in the United States. And when Suzanne Somers raved about how a quite possibly dangerous hormone treatment helped her with menopause, millions of American women began inquiring about how they could receive the same treatment.

8) She endorsed The Secret and other pseudoscience

When Oprah became enamored with The Secret, so, of course, did everyone else. Its central idea — that you're solely responsible for your own happiness — aligns with Oprah's ethos, but it's a dressed-up version of blaming the victim. When you believe that the universe rewards positive thinking, you must also believe the converse — that the universe punishes those who have negative thoughts. Negative thinking isn't responsible for poverty, illness, abuse, or misfortune. Oprah didn't rise to fame by wanting it more than anyone else — she worked hard and had a lot of help. To insinuate that success is based on sending good thoughts into the universe is junk science and offensive to anyone who has suffered a tragedy.

Tea party

The Tea Party is led by ignorant, bigoted deadbeats, so is it any
wonder its principles are asinine and incorrect. Substantiating
proof:

We are taxed enough already: No, you are just too much of a deadbeat
to pay your share of the support structures of society:

The Dangers of Pseudoscience - NYTimes.com

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/10/the-dangers-of-pseudoscience/?_r=1&

The borderlines between genuine science and pseudoscience may be
fuzzy, but this should be even more of a call for careful
distinctions, based on systematic facts and sound reasoning. To try a
modicum of turtle blood here and a little aspirin there is not the
hallmark of wisdom and even-mindedness. It is a dangerous gateway to
superstition and irrationality.

'Breaking Bad' Quotes: 20 Most Badass - Hollywood Reporter

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/breaking-bad-quotes-20-badass-612801#10-i-am-one-who-knocks

The most famous Walt quote has been celebrated by fans and inspired an homage by Samuel L. Jackson.Breaking Bad writer Gennifer Hutchison, who wrote the episode, told THR she didn't realize the monologue would become iconic. "It was always a cool scene. I didn't realize how big it would become." Here's the quote in full: "You clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I amthe danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!"
