I never heard of journalists ever becoming all alarmed and upset when an individual is sued and is in danger of being found guilty and forced to pay a great deal of money to the plaintiffs. Conversely, I never heard of journalists writing editorials in which they lament the potential legal fees of an individual, unless it's a powerful beltway insider like Scooter Libby. Large corporations don't need any sympathy from the MSN or anybody else, they sure don't have any sympathy for others, and especially not for the consumer. It's insanely absurd for someone who for some weird reason is considered to be a journalist to be so concerned about giant, greedy and highly unethical corporations like the telecoms. This absurdity reminds me of an hilarious column by Art Buchwald published during the first Reagan term in which he wrote in a tongue and cheek manner that we should all feel very sorry for the very rich, we should lay awake at night and come up with ways to help the wealthy and should be ready to give up everything we own to help make them wealthier and more powerful.

Apparently not much. Col. Boylan's English:syntax, style and grammar, are those of a 12 year old. The infantile and pathetic content of his message to Glen is bad enough, but when you realize that this guy is supposed to be a fairly high ranking officer in the US military, you shudder at the notion that we are spending, or rather, wasting, half a trillion dollars per year on the military budget, and all that for a military that produces infantile morons like Boylan.

"I am interested in this issue. What I am doing about it does not concern you. Interesting is what I find it.

Whether I agree with what the email says or not is not an issue I wish to discuss with you, as I decided after our last exchange that I would not take the time or efforts to engage with you.

Is there a reason why you posted this?"

This is the exact same petulant and infantile tone of the original email. I have no doubt that the original was sent by this clown Boylan. Now he's trying to cover his ass, yet even while trying to do that, he reverts to his true character of an infantile right-wing pencil pushing bozo.

"I'm speculating here, but fwiw, it seems to me that the person who sent the emails is not a native english speaker."

Are you trying to imply that George W Bush sent the emails?

He is nothing but a commissar, in the mold of the Red Army Bolshevik commissars. He is nothing more than a political officer whose main role is to dispense regime propaganda and make sure that all ranks don't step out of the political line boundary. Like many Bolshevik commissars, he seems to have been chosen for this position because he's a punk.

Boylan or his bosses would most likely arrange for a fragging or some other "unfortunate hostile enemy incident". I would trust those guys about as much as I would a black mamba crawling up my leg. I hope that Glenn never falls for that trap.

They are running everything because the great majority of the public is incredibly stupid and ignorant. Don't forget, this is a nation where a majority believes in Creation, that the Universe is 6000 years old and that humans coexisted with the dinosaurs. This is a nation in which stupidity has been elevated to a religion. Why wouldn't a bunch of moronic felons be able to run a nation of morons?

in the US military. It's laughable to speculate that someone in his unit snuck into his office and sent the message in his name, because the style of the messages as well as their hostile&aggressive nature are identical.beyond the email issue, the similarity to Bolshevism is startling. A propagandist political shill as a spokesman for a general who is a political creature, doing what is good for the regime, not the nation, spouting out regime propaganda and intimidating those who won't toe the line.

You are in the wrong place. You should be under some pyramid hugging a mummy.

It wouldn't be surprising at all if it turns out that the posts of "Egypt Steve" actually came from Steve Boylan.

EC is an excellent guitar player who peaked with Cream and hasn't done anything significantly interesting in nearly 40 years. When you look at his contemporaries, although each one had his own unique style, Hendrix and John NcLaughlin were much more talented and far better improvisers. And perched way above them all, although he wasn't a blues player, is the astonishing Brazilian genius Baden Powell.

We can definitely consider ourself to be a corporatist Bolshevik nation in which the military. A Republican propaganda hack (Boylan)is serving as the spokesman for a Republican general who is serving the interests of the ruling party and the president and not his nation. The military is so identified now with the republican party that it is anything but the people's military and if there are difference between the US armed forces and the USSR's Red Army, they are mostly cosmetic.

Isn't it amazing that the US military has turned into an arm of the extreme right wing of the GOP, and nobody, excluding some blogs even notice or discuss this travesty? Military spokesmen bully war dissidents, which by the way represent the majority of the public, cooperate explicitly with the most extreme right wing media outlets and not even the democrats make a sound. Only in banana republics and Bolshevik states is the military identified with the ruling regime to such an extent. This is one of the most disastrous and scandalous outcomes of the catastrophic Bush/Cheney regime, and the public and the Democrats are mum.

The GOP doesn't need to hope and expect another catastrophic event, ala 9/11-they are perfectly capable of arranging one.
