Larry, if you're going to spend time blogging about "alternative news stories" or unreported news, your expertise and knowledge would be of far greater interest to your fans in another area than crackpot 9/11 theories, most of which have roots in anti-Semitism or Israeli bashing, and aren't going to be given up by their adherents, no matter wht proof is brought to bear.
     How about discussing one of the Utne Reader's most important underreported/sqaushed stories of 2005? On p.14, they write: " "In These Times" uncovered the disquieting fact that the discredited exit polls which projected a 5 million vote victory for John Kerry in 2004 proved accurate in Kerry strongholds and in precincts that used hand-counted ballots..." Or how about the liberal 'zine American Prospect's articles on how smooth and hyper efficient the Republican's GOTV operation ran in Ohio, while the Democrats looked lile incompetent amateurish jackasses, and how this, along with all of the other irregularrities even if it didn't mean that Ohio 2004 was stolen, it was foolishly lost. We all look up to you, and you've finally got the credentials and the office to go with your background and skills so as to become a statewide or nationally quoted authority. The long-sufferring Democratic masses, fed up with the spinelessness, corruption, and gross incompetence of their leaders, need your wisdom more than they need you stuck in debates with lunatics.
