Culmination Focal Point - Future Events
For the last few years I have felt like many of the events that have occured and have yet to take place are headed towards a negative focal point for the future of man kind.

Hannity Offers To Be Waterboarded For Charity
So! This is, I believe, a "golden moment" in the history of televised media. Sean Hannity had actor Charles Grodin on his show tonight, and the two men actually had some genuinely good natured sparring with each other over the news of the week.
