"Whenever a story hits the media, there's always more than meets the eye." – Tavis Smiley: former shill with PBS
Oh, do tell, Tavis!
Nearly every time there's a grans opening of something–new ship, train route, or even new movie theatre format–the first people to participate are VIPs. I would be VERY surprised if we were to learn that there were no VIPs on board the train that derailed in Washington. So in that light, I wonder who these VIPs could have been.
Awwww, poor little rugrats don't get to go to a liberal Ive League school for indoctrination! So sad
