I love the line about the astronomer on CNN: "I'm not your fucking clergyman"
To explain, the panic spreading through the populace has reached a climax and everyone wants answers. How long do we have? Will the Earth be destroyed? What's going on? And there is this scientist who is just a simple astronomy researcher and all these questions are bombarding him on live T.V. and he screams that he isn't a clergyman, meaning he isn't going to give people peace about death or give them all the answers they need or help them reconcile their behavior. And that is just two lines of this great piece, one word: mind-blowing.
