The Walking Dead's season finale killed the previous competition's records by taking the biggest bite ever out of the coveted blood of the 18-49 demographic, scoring 4.1 million viewers. That's twice as many as the channel's flag ship show, Mad Men. Though, I still think Breaking Bad beats 'em all in shear originality: a boring chemistry teacher who contracts lung cancer and starts cooking meth with his worst student ever and breaks bad in Southwest lingo. But the show is not about drugs; it's about living your life to the fullest and feeling alive and the show has some pretty good anti-drug messages, which is needed more than ever in our society with teenage drug use inching higher.
In other news, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange turned himself in but hasn't released the dreaded "insurance file." If nothing else, It has sparked a debate on the press which is surely good for me given that I'm a journalist by trade and a writer at heart.
P.S. It appears the Europe's popular revolt against deposits didn't have enough assets in the field to crash the big bad banks.
