Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
By Mary Elizabeth Frye

Now that right there is funny! I don’t care who you are.
Bwahahahaaaaa!!! DAMM FUNNY!!!
News. Sheeeeeeit.
IIRC, Dan Rather got his big break covering a hurricane for a CBS affiliate in the 1960s. So Danny Boy II here is part of a great fake news tradition.
This, is CNN.
The office chair is a good one.
Dan actually covered Camille, in Texas as a local reporter, and didn’t fake that.
It was only later on he started his fabulism.
