I have just finished Season 3 of my 9 season X-files marathon that I started in August. Halloween seems an appropriate day to do this and to also post this classic introduction.
With the power to appease the conscience comes the ability to remove freedom - Talitha Cumi.
Though if I am going to begin quoting episodes I am going to have to mention the best of Season 3, War of the Coprophages:
Mulder: I think you'd better get up here.
Scully: What happened?
Mulder: It appears that cockroaches are mortally attacking people.
Scully: I'm not going to ask you if you just said what I think you just said, because I know it's what you just said.

Scully: Who?
Mulder: Dr. Berenbaum. Anyway her theory is...
Scully: Her name is Bambi?
Mulder: Yeah. Both her parents were naturalists. Her theory is that UFO's are actually nocturnal insect swarms passing through electrical air fields.

Nonetheless... the headline is this: Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done, in five years. He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.
- The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama Bin Laden before 9/11.

I also find Olbermann's commentary on the Katrina fiasco last year refreshing:

This is just too funny not to post, even though I am an England supporter. How the ball manages to jump Robinson's foot completely of its own accord with such pin-point accuracy is incredible.
