That is a nice compliment on Elroy.

I am watching the BOOK TV on C Span 2...
Every week end authors speak for about an hour on their book.

Tight now the book BLUR about VIETNAM is being discussed.

It is interesting in that the discussion as turned to
the truth in journalism.. AND how people being more comfortable reading and listening to what they are comfortable
with negates that which is unpopular.

Bill KOvach and Tom Rosenstiel wrote BLUR and it in many
ways describes WHAT the whole debacle in Vietnam was about.
It was not about the North invading. It had to do with
other factors. Many nuanced.

TRUTH SEEKERS... that is what is difficult; they are not around too much.

Prophets of WAR is next. William Hartung author.
I has to do with the Military Industrial Complex... AT Barnes and Noble in NYC.

These programs are GREAT.. I suggest you pick and choose
this channel on week-end..

I enjoy sparring with Elroy because he's rational, polite, and intelligent.

And good looking and thin and smells nice....

I agree. I've always enjoyed Elroy's posts. And he has lived abroad, and so has an interesting viewpoint.
