I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.

I rule the universe.

One of the worst terrorist -- I mean, GUERILLA attacks ever and already AMERICA'S NEWS HACKS HAVE FORGOTTEN IT. They're using equations to figure out how to report this: 1 American = 10 Russians, or whatever.
