‘The Interview’ Brings In $15 Million on Web
LOS ANGELES — “The Interview” generated roughly $15 million in online sales and rentals during its first four days of availability, Sony Pictures said on Sunday.
Sony did not say how much of that total represented $6 digital rentals versus $15 sales. The studio said there were about two million transactions over all.
So the answer to the 2012 opinion piece
Is Algebra Necessary? is YES!
From Dan Meyer,
The Tragedy of the American Military
Not your usual left-wing rant. The blame is thoroughly bipartisan. Even Bernie Sanders takes a hit.
The American public and its political leadership will do anything for the military except take it seriously. The result is a chickenhawk nation in which careless spending and strategic folly combine to lure America into endless wars it can’t win.

Preceded by an exceptionally obnoxious commercial. I felt like killing everybody associated with it, so you could say it fits 🙂
