Very cool. Thanks for the "behind the scenes" color. I look forward to hearing the interview.

In this case, we are able to discern some of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the Obama message machine. They got a little too close to the line and I'm sure they will adjust their techniques to be less obvious. I am more worried about the manipulation that we don't see, because it is so well hidden.

Thanks Bob for your thoughtful answer and for keeping us informed. I appreciate getting the scoop from someone who knows what is going on. I would agree that you are most capable of coming up with interview questions! I also appreciated the opportunity to submit a question to Crosby, Stills and Nash, and I do see the difference. Keep up the wonderful work that you do!

Charlie Summers comments on More Audio Treasures at the LOC

If Mr. DeAnna thinks "serious radio" was an "anomaly" and that radio programs from the 20's to the 60's didn't deal with serious issues of the day, he is woefully uneducated and should consider joining the Internet Old-Time Radio Digest discussion mailing list - asking the historians there will open his eyes to the realities of radio during its time as media king. Not to take anything away from Ms. McBride who was indeed an excellent interviewer (and certainly more educational than programs like, "Wendy Warren and the News"), but there were many programs that educated the listener on then-current events, and these programs were on commercial network radio, not segregated to the niche of public radio/television. Serious interviews abound in the recorded record...perhaps the LOC should worry more about preserving these instead of more recently-recorded musical performances that continue to make money for the major labels...

Love Kenneth Branagh...definitely want to check out his new show. He was amazing in "Valkyrie" by the way.

It should be possible to actually LISTEN to this segment from this page - please stop making it so difficult and time-consuming to find the "listen" links on your site!

Friends. IN DEFENSE OF WHEAT

As a North Dakota wheat farmer I take issue with the inclusion of wheat with the other two subsidized "food" crops

(soy and corn) as being part of the "problem." Wheat is "People Food" and when grown, milled and baked with the care of

long held culture, it is obvious wheat has INHERENT nutrition. That is, unlike field corn, (including its refined derivative High

Fructose Corn Syrup) wheat is a healthy food.

As a conventional wheat farmer, I use chemical weed control pesticides, there is no other way my operation could produce

such large amounts of high protein wheat for world wide consumption. As for subsidies, go ahead, eliminate them, but then

decouple the price of wheat from the Capitalistic Market Forces and let each country's government set a price to what it is

intrinsicaly worth to its society. How disruptionaly revolutionary, but if applied across the crop spectrum, would provide a

balance to labor, food safety and nutrition, energy and resource conservation, the ecology and all nation's food security

(including devloping nations).

Hello Sir/madam
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my contacting you will be given genuine approval considering the fact that we don't know each other before.
I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Abdullah Akeem, I am writing to inform you of my desire to invest in your country.
I am the first son of Abdullah Sahe'ed who was the former Diamond Board Director of Serria Leone. My Father was attacked by the R U F Rebels on his way to Lucia, a Northern part of Serria Leone, and my Father sustained injuries and he died three days later.
Before he died he revealed to me about the two boxes containing $50 Million US dollars, which he deposited with a security company in Ghana for safe keeping. My father did not disclose the content of the boxes to the security company. To avoid the officials from raising eye brows.
Presently I and my brother are here in Ghana to notify the security company of the claims, and we are staying in the refugee camp.
Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can invest this money in your country, because my late father told me that it is dangerous to invest in Africa to avoid suspicions, and due to market instabilities coupled with economic and political situation facing Africa, for your assistance my self and my brother have agreed to offer you 20% of the total amount of the money as your commission.
We have all the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership
which I can send to you.
Note, I have never disclosed this transaction to anybody apart from you.
So please keep it very confidential.

best regard.

regardless of the outcome, it sounds like Wiebe won the crowd over and was the winner in most everyone's opinion
