Where are all the reformers?

Where are today's Osborn Elliotts, Ida Wells,WalterWinchells,Edward R.Murrows and the Hamills and Breslins?


Jon Stewart? Lol; no killer instinct. If you are nice and wimpy enough to emcee the Oscars you cannot be a down and dirty journalistic crusdader.. You have to have a big set of you know whats and in today's soccer mom society those appendages are almost extinct.


I have sent the link to this blog to Rachel Maddow, and plan to send it to Matthews and Keith Olbermann


The three of them worry more about ratings than exposes. Maddow's hairdo is the most serious act of non conformity she has carried out so far but she does at least show some promise.Since one of the worst offenders,North American Van Lines runs commercials on her show there is zero chance she will attack them.
Matthews is still talking about Tip O'Neill from another Century.


The riskiest action ever taken by Keith Olbermann was to post a windbag blog on the Daily Kos (which sold out to Corporate America years ago).The Kosmeister himself kicked me off the site during the past campaign for disagreeing with one of his posts.


What about the bloggers all over the web?. Aren't they crusaders for unpopular causes? An easy way to test their sincerity is to note if they have advertisements on their blogs. If they do, you know they will not step over certain lines.


A true crusader would pick up the blog you are reading right now (the Trivialization of Brutal Crimes) and run with it. I've already done the dirty work;all they have to do is use their influence to get into the inner workings of DOT and expose the resons why DOT allows the domestic terrorism of Highway Hijacking to grow and flourish.


It's not about budgetary considerations.DOT has billions they use to print flyers to stuff in the Post Offices literature pamphlet trays! Billions to have robots sit around and invent acronyms for inefficient ,incomprehensible programs like (SAFETEA-LU)


Guess what those 9 letters stand for?

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
A baboon could think up a better name than that.


So who is going to carry forth the crusade required to put the fear of arrest and imprisonment into the DOT regulations?


Me? I am 78 and live on $15,000 a year. I have the education (Rutgers 56,BA,Journalism) and experience to do it. Do I have the energy? Doutbful!
And while I can be quite altruistic when I am as angry as I am now, I will defer if someone younger comes forth and takes over the reins.

So all I can do is continue my own digging here until some hit men come after me.

The question is who will send them? The Feds or the Moving company criminals?
