This kind of insertion of odd bits into a Massive Bill is done probably

How many people are talking about Afghanistan?
Afghanistan's back where it was, run by warlords and gangsters and who's
writing about it? Almost nobody. If it goes back to what it was no one
cares, everyone's forgotten about it.
I for one, would like to question him on this. It's pure crap.

I have seen reporting on Afghanistan that is glowing and then there is more

Unfortunately when these essays speak of good music they are strictly
