Thanks Alterman
I was going to send this note to Eric Alterman but i didn't because I have no idea where to send it. And, because, i sure as shit am not going to send anything to anyone anywhere by entering my personal email address into some MSNBC operated online email submission boxlet. (for all kinds of paranoid reasons....SPAM) Alterman should get himself a real blog. But anyway.....
Dear Eric Alterman,
Hi there. I don't much write letters like this -- (i guess you can call this a letter) -- to people i don't know, because, well, i dunno - i just don't. But, i gotta tell ya this: I really enjoyed your appearence on CSPAN with Brian Lamb. Damned good job. Great job! You made my day. Thanks so very much. To be honest, on several occasions, i considered leaping from my TV viewing chair, lunging across the room, and hugging the TV set. But i didn't, because, well, that would be kinda friggin' weird. But i considered it. Yes i did. And the the fact that i considered it on several occasions during the program says a lot about how much i enjoyed the show. Either that or i'm becoming increasingly strange. Which is certainly possible and probably demonstrably true. But no matter. Who gives a flyin' fuck. You kicked out the jams Alterman! And i just wanted to let you know that.
I (and, i'm sure, many many others) apppreciate your efforts.
Oh yeah, by the way, with respect to that one caller from Saugerties NY (near the end of the CSPAN show) who claimed to be the wife of a POW in "Iraq" (she meant to say Vietnam) - and who also stated that POW's (including, so she claimed, her husband) were subjected to the words of John Kerry's anti-war congressional testimony while captive prisoners of the North Vietnamese (a Swift Boat Vets for Bush allegation) - well, just as a heads up, David Corn noted in his recent Nation column ("The Bush Mob Orders Up a Hit") that John McCain told the New York Times that "his [Vietnamese] captors never used Kerry's congressional testimony to taunt or pressure him." -- just thought i'd remind ya of that one in case you missed it.
Anyway, as i dramatically stated earlier, great job. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Even if your blog is pimped by those suckfish bottom-feeders at MSNBC.
Yours in occupied territory,
