You’re the captain of a small yacht. A group of media elites has rented your yacht for a private party. Mid-cruise, Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann get into a heated argument. Pushing and shoving ensues. Both fall overboard. The sea around them is rough and infested with sharks. Without quick action they’ll surely drown or be eaten. You only have one life preserver. Hence, the conundrum. Do you (a) open a nice bottle of wine, or (b) slip below deck to take in a movie? ...

Contrary to some oldbies, I am actually mildly interested in this blog feature. I will semi-regularly have thoughts on an issue that I want to type up and open to discussion, but for one reason or another would not be suitable for an EoFF thread.
