7. North Koreans are threatening theater goers. Republicans encouraging each other to buy tickets.

Once I read "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

John Donne lived in a time when the Catholic Church sold indulgences like snow cones, and upon realizing the cancer at its core (the bank) the devout and humble Martin Luther realized that expecting salvation from people who cared more about money than they did about the people was a fool's errand, and he went another direction.

I have come to the conclusion, after much life, that if John Donne had lived today, the next line might have been "Or, perhaps it is the telephone, with good news".
