"Over There." FX network announced yesterday that it would not pick up a second season of its Iraq war drama, a decision that FX President John Landgraf said was based entirely on its lousy numbers, which "were reflective of what the show is about rather than its quality or entertainment value." "Over There" opened with an impressive 4.1 million viewers but wound up with 882,000 viewers for the season finale. "While we are passionately committed to fostering great television, we are an advertiser-supported network and the size of our audience is vital to our bottom line," Landgraf said, marking the most candid statement ever made by a network suit in the history of the medium.

The elite young with such a mindset who do not come to America because of political considerations make room for more common sense folks. I see it as positive and positive.

Engineering and science students are usually as political as a stone. Or maybe a bottle of Coke. OK maybe a few Pepsi.
