Who?

Regarding Dan Rather: Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

ABCNEWS interviewed Col. Walter Staudt. I simply assumed (like an idiot) he was dead because LtCol Killian is. Stupid me, and even stupider CBS.

We were pretty particular because when he came back [from training], we had to fly with him.

As a former flyer, I can vouch for that sentiment.

Staudt said he continues to support Bush now that he is president. “My politics now are that I’m an American, and that’s about all I can tell you,” he said. “And I’m going to vote for George Bush.”

Oh…Well…He’s obviously a right-wing fanatic. Who’s going to believe his version over that of Dan Rather?

Me.

***UPDATE***

Surprise, surprise!

At the conclusion of Bill Burkett’s commentary, he also boasted that he had served as “one of the sources for information in the Michael Moore’s film ‘Farenheit 911.'” (sic) Burkett did not elaborate on his relationship with Moore.

No Blogs in CC

I got an email from Jim Lago last night and he asked me to be on the show every Thursday morning. He also mentioned being on his Saturday program. So, I called him this morning and agreed, except that Saturday morning is GOLF! We’ll discuss it more tonight. He has a plan for Saturdays, and I’ll see what we can arrange.

We talked about blogs, and he asked if I was surprised there seems to be none here in town. Yes. Corpus Christi has 275,000+ people, and all we’ve been able to locate are three personal diary-type weblogs. I’ll do some searching today between tasks.

I may also be calling on some of you, so keep those voices in good order.

I believe Mark Twain was the greatest observer of human nature of all time. And he had Dan Rather pegged a century ago.

Humor, a jay knows when he is an ass just as well as you do — maybe better. If a jay ain’t human, he better take in his sign, that’s all.

Read all of Baker’s Blue-Jay Yarn to see what I mean.
