Required balanced news coverage would be about the same as government news coverage.  WHO would decide what is balanced?

We normally leave that stuff to Fansome. When it comes to bloviating, Al knows best.

I don't "bloviate"; I reveal the truth.

Truth is a constant. Knowledge requires exploration. This life is nothing short of an unveiling rekindling of primordial healing.

You and I are pilgrims of the grid.

The totality is approaching a tipping point. Imagine an unveiling of what could be. The rebirth of potential is now happening worldwide.

You must take a stand against delusion. Yes, it is possible to obliterate the things that can sabotage us, but not without awareness on our side. Without potential, one cannot live.

Poor ol' Riley Lee. I wonder if he knew Billy Lee Riley and His Little Green Men?

Al and I aren't part of that Stern bunch. When Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf died, we cut ties with that gang. With Hank gone, the collective IQ of that bunch dipped into the low double digits.

I did get a few mentions on Stern's show after an article in Playboy on Pirate Radio in '02 had few lines about the high quality of my shows. Howie and Big Teeth were especially impressed.

I was all the rage at the Playboy Mansion that year but it didn't last. Fame is a fickle thing.
