    BRO. Bro. But where does he stand on the controversial subject of resin hits? Crackhead-ish, thrifty, or an acquired taste? #medicalmarijuana

    One would think The Feds would welcome the opportunity to refocus their attention on situations that are significantly more detrimental than some mellowed-out stoners sparkin' a J. #medicalmarijuana

    @Oy Veh (Informality Reigns): Hopefully they make some more catchy songs/ads to discourage non-medical meth use. #medicalmarijuana

    Nice digging, John. You're like the Indiana Jones of Gawker. Watch out for snake pits, though. And bad dates.

    The only document in the file, and therefore the only one destroyed, was a memo about how Walter refused to dress up in gingham with J. Edgar.

    There's no telling what kind of crackpot investigations J. Edgar Hoover might've ordered against Cronkite, so quite possibly, the FBI was just protecting themselves.

    I think after Walter came out again the Vietnam war in 1967 his file got a lot thicker. Johnson said when you've lost Walter you've lost the country. The audience Walter pulled in every night is hard to fathom today. He might have been watched by 60-75 million people a night. Hard to beat.

    Perhaps he was videotaped torturing Iraqi Prisoners and Congress ordered the video preserved. Hence, it was destroyed.

    I saw the files, and all I'm permitted to say is this: Did you ever notice that you never saw Mr. Cronkite and Captain Kangaroo in the same room? Same dude. Don't tell anybody.

    In reply to Did This Congresswoman Have Lesbian Affair With a Turkish Spy?
    She's part of a mostly Republican group of legislators who compromised national security secrets a while ago during the Bush years. This story's been floating around vis a vis a whistleblower for a while now, and the AC took this bite out of it.

    Anyway, I read about this on Rawstory.com about a month ago. They had some pretty thorough coverage. Bradblog was all over this too: [www.bradblog.com]
