Plagiarists come in all shapes and sizes as well as ideologies. Do I recall 
correctly a certain Edward Kennedy in his former svelte form using others 
thoughts at Harvard and getting off? What a country that can elect a man 
who didn't have the decency to walk less than a minute to a cottage a 
stones throw from the Dike Bridge in Chappaquiddick Island to summon help 
for his passenger while she was still alive (for almost an hour by some 
reports).
Don't you think on the scale of things that are important that Barnicle be 
allowed to earn a living. Free people have the ability to switch the dial 
if whom or what they hear is not to their "standards."
Happy holidays,

As we close the 20th Century A.D. with a few more days of 2000 left, let me 
join with my favorite radio station: locally-owned WPLM-FM 99.1 with 
perhaps the largest playlist in the free world playing a unique blend of 
great music by great artists in wishing everyone success in its third year 
(and second century) of its unique format!
