Sorry about the time-lag, I went to bed.

-When a person is broke, socially undesirable and sexually repulsive they get to be a sort of expert on Public Radio.-

Then I would automatically qualify as a consummate expert, I guess.

-I'm so bad off the commercial broadcasters won't even broadcast to my house- they say there's no return in it, it's not worth the electricity.-

Perhaps they are concerned about the 17 layers of 12 ga. tinfoil enshrouding the entire structure impeding reception.

I am listening live right now (Sunday morning) and the theme is vintage, and I mean vintage country. Christine Lindie: Walkin' the Floor, I think...

For talk radio, I listen to Air America a great deal, especially the drive-home hours with the brilliant and delightful Rachel Maddow.

I am a fan of musical diversity for certain.

Thanks for the lead.

How shall the new environment be programmed? It all happened so slowly that most men failed to realize that anything had happened at all.

The theater of noise is proof of our potential (Fox News?). The circulation of autotypes. The golden talisman underfoot is phenomenon approaching. And, in the history of now, all ethos are designed.

Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents and be happy.

Dystopian? How exactly.

Dear Mr. Greenwald,

I've read your commentary on the Ivins case with great interest. I hope and trust that you'll keep pushing ABC & others for all the facts.

Would like to make three points on behalf of the late Dr. Ivins:

1) If I understand libel law correctly, no one can ever bring a libel case on behalf of someone who has died. That means anyone--from the government, media, or anywhere--can tell any number of lies about Dr. Ivins without worrying about legal consequences. (I did not know Dr. Ivins. But I hate to see a man's reputation thoroughly trashed when he is not here to defend it. And his family must have suffered great agony over the past several months, now heightened by the attacks on his reputation.)

2) The woman who filed for a protective order against Dr. Ivins said he had already poisoned people. She obviously knew (from whom?) that the government was about to indict Dr. Ivins for the anthrax killings. Possibly she was referring only to them, not to other killings. So far I've seen no indication from any other source to sustain her charge that he had a tendency toward violence going back to graduate [student] days. Nor do we know how long she knew him. If she knew him only in his last, tragic months of mental breakdown, she may be inferring some things that just are not true.

3) Some of your readers are interpreting your (incomplete) quote from a letter Ivins sent to the Frederick News-Post to mean that he was a right-wing Catholic. It's generally wise to avoid political tags in theological discussions. But to the extent they are relevant at all, his letters to the editor suggest he may have been a "left-wing Catholic" (supporting the admission of women and married Catholics to the priesthood and sympathetic to the consistent ethic of life (consistent opposition to violence and killing).

Many thanks for staying on this case!

Wake up with a hangover, shooter?

This is absolutely the stupidest thing I have heard yet.

Here, try some of these:

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that."

"It's totally wiped out. ... It's devastating, it's got to be doubly devastating on the ground."

"And they have no disregard for human life."

"Let's make sure that there is certainty during uncertain times in our economy."

"And so the fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place."

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."

"So long as I'm the president, my measure of success is victory -- and success."

"Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? ... That's interesting. I hadn't heard that."

"I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be -- hold hands."

And that's just this year so far.

So if Mona's so stupid, how come she's not the Republican candidate for president?

And where's his suicide note?

No action on this for almost SEVEN years, and then just before this Administration takes its ill-gotten gains out the door, this poor bastard commits suicide?

Why would he use acetaminophen when he apparently had a gun? Frankly, I find it odd that a guy uses pills, that's usually a chick thing, unless we're talking debilitating disease and weakened physical condition.

And NO autopsy? WTF?

Did anyone read the comments of his alleged therapist? #1 she violated patient-client privilege and HIPAA, #2 she read like she didn't graduate from high school, let alone college.

Glenn Greenwald, you are correct... there are unresolved questions. Maybe I should put on my tinfoil hat, but I don't trust or believe anything out of this Adminstration.
