    Point well taken.

    The last point Glenn. A+ humour. Not to worry, I think they're grooming Luke for the job. (*This would also explain the delay in finding a suitable replacement.)

    And then there is the matter of NBC vetting Glenn. For example, why are blogs bad? How well has the surge worked? ... What do you call your gun? etc.

    ***

    Glenn >(re; emails) "from a very trustworthy source." Snort. Who ...if not me? How'bout a clue: inside/outside NBC? who? ... sysprog?(i think he might be the toobz.)...

    In any case, since the duties and obligations of those who would determine news 'trustworthy' is no less binding upon the 'truth' than those who offer to provide it, I would have to admit 'trust' is a very important criteria in who I listen to for news. Ironic, don't you think Glenn. ;)

    yours truly,

    bah.
