You can't get rid of these people

I'd like to lodge a complaint. In the media coverage of the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster, all the science experts interviewed have been old white men. It's truly disgusting. These wrinkly old farts need to go. If I don't see a fresh young black women's face in about the next five seconds, I'm going to blow a major gasket. Just when you think we're making social progress, the pale old fogeys somehow slip back on-stage.

    And another thing.... why are these nuclear physicists who are being interviewed old, white men?

    Sgt. Joe: My mistake--I thought Kate Hutton was a man.

    Kate Hutton and Lucy Jones: Seismologist are not in the same league as nuclear physicist. Not even close.
