Earlier today I received an e-mail from Twitter with this subject heading: "Robert Cass, what's happening in the world?"

It's been said that Hollywood is like high school with money, but according to Twitter, the entire world is like high school. From now on, whenever I start to feel guilty that I don't know enough about the current situation in Syria, I'll just remind myself that Syria sits at one of the uncool tables in the cafetorium.
