Dear Contacts,  One of the reasons you’ve been contacted in the past is so that I can continue to reach new people (professors and news media are my favorites, politicians less so because they really don’t want to be annoyed and set up their e-mail with that in mind) and add to my contact list.  Don’t be angry, I really have good intentions.  I have excellent ideas on immigration reform. www.theyokelnews.com  Since no one gets back to me, I’ll take that as an affirmative on the soundness of my ideas.  Below is the e-mail I sent out very shortly ago to Mr. Bill O’Reilly.  You either love him or hate him; I’m calculating you’ll read it.  What would I do if I ever broke out of this cone of silence, and god forbid got invited on his show?  If you read my early web site www.steinforcongress.com  I admit I’m a shy guy.

Crossword Puzzle: By Will Chortz   1 Down.  Opposite of, "the Yokel News" Answer on bottom of page.

E-Mail to Bill O”Reilly 10:08am

Dear Bill,

 Heard last several minutes of interview with Renee' Montagne on NPR at 6:25 am (I'm premium member caliber material here, I heard you years ago when I tuned into Terry Gross's Fresh Air, 100% on your side).  You were discussing your theory that President Bush might have been handicapped, judgment wise, because he suffers, the "rich kid syndrome."

 I think you are absolutely right, but let me turn it around for a minute (please stay with me, 1. if you never see this, or if you blow this off; bang my point is proven.)  Point 1a. Do you know how stupid that sounds to your many detractors?  I know you do; and I know that confirms in your mind certain things about their background.  Your from Levittown, they're not, but Bill think about this when you write about GW being handicapped because, I’m I getting this correct, he went to summer camp? Winston's father, Lord Randolph Churchill, the third son of John Spencer-Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough, was a politician, while his mother, Lady Randolph Churchill (née Jennie Jerome) was the daughter of American millionaire, Leonard Jerome. Born on 30 November 1874 in a bedroom in….

  Point 2, I ran for Congress  www.steinforcongress.com or later in campaign used www.theyokelnews.com.  I tried to promote several ideas, one in particular about immigration reform.  Dead on arrival.  Dead air. Ignored.  Had I had even minor celebrity, (next, for our purposes, substitute your "rich kid syndrome," summer camp etc, with the "elite media syndrome”’ I run up against), my ideas would have been discussed and some would have said they were brilliant (maybe you, or no?, what if it didn't come out of your mouth. Big ego’s in the elite media) and some would say they were stupid (those would be the “rich kids” again from elite media).

 One thing is for certain.  Unless an idea comes out of the "club" (defined by me as the well off, or "upper class") we average folk with an idea are dismissed as kooks, or taking a less paranoid view, us average folks can't even get an e-mail, passed some screener, and penetrate the very rich  isolated, "elite media."  Please read my Yokel news, I had trouble with local A.C. Press behaving like media elites even though they’re strictly middle class.  Here’s another problem.  I sound like a whiner.  No, I’m a like a dog with a bone.  I got immigration points, and a friend in Mexico to help.

  P.S. and point 3.  Say hello for me to Leis Weil.  I met her in the FOX lobby, day 1 of my crusade, last Nov. when I was looking for a sympathetic ear from any news outlet, when I was making the rounds, the old-school way, using shoe leather.  She sweetly pointed out I should use use E-mail, but I did contrive to pass on a brief note to you that day.  Hmmm, "some kook in the lobby, if you ever even saw it) I talked to you on the air and made the mistake (I make plenty) of being undisciplined, and instead of making a point about the issue of day (probably immigration) I thought I could, real fast, mention the FOX lobby incident and her point about e-mails (by the time of that call I already knew e-mails are never opened or answered, but you cut me off.)  My mistake, not disciplined enough.  Whatever button it is that you push, it was all over for me. Borked, or similar to, General Shinseki telling the "rich kid" (GW) what he didn't want to hear (I can have fun with this, sometimes called pretzel logic.)  I must repeat though that I agree with your theory from up top, as it applies to George Bush and George Bush alone ( he’s one in a trillion (or the same figure we’ve loaned the treasury.)  What about my theory?  (What theory? Nobody knows what I’m talking about?.  See, it’s easy to put myself in your shoes, I’ll deride my own e-mail. If I’m right I’ll never know, I have no barometer, nobody writes or calls me.)

  Since I got blown away in the election, and since several other attempts to contact you by e-mail have failed, I don't listen to your show on radio or TV anymore.  I listen to more music on the radio now (WXPN a great NPR rock station if you can believe that, rock NPR, no commercials), and I read more, instead of watching as much TV.  Right now I'm reading "Retribution" The Battle for Japan, 1944-45 (from the library of course.)  I don't read too many pages a day, but when I visit my father in Florida (fought in the battle for Iwo Jima, wounded seriously) I have the luxury of reading a 100-200 pages a day like a "rich person" 

  I've had the stop watch out.  One hour to write.  It's 9:33am.  At 6:25am I was on my way to one account to clean an office.  My profession.  I'm going to move this over to a word document, and spell check and without too much cleaning up, send it to you.  Is it outrageous enough for your "aides" to pass along?  I'm thinking about putting this "running up against the wall syndrome," (the story of the last 12 months) in diary form for the "aides" in the mental institution to read when I’m committed.

Yokel News Editorial.  Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois who has the authority to fill the Senate vacancy left by Illinois Senator, and president elect Obama; was indicted yesterday on corruption charges. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois says a special election should be held to fill the seat.  Save the money and bother, and leave it vacant till he resigns.  The voters in that state elected him, so they’ll have one less Senator temporarily.

 Help Wanted.  Associate editor wanted.

  Issues on hold due to lack of leisure time by editor.

1.      Auto Bailout Issue.  (Can see Yokel News opinions in two separate blog sections of Car Talk on the web.

2.       Obama Transition Team, How they doing? Yokel News, we blog and apply for job.

3.      Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Corruption in Mexico.  It’s out of control there.  Kiss the U.S. soil.

4.      Re-Issue (what was that date, no time to look up) Divorce Issue #2 (#1 can be seen on www.theyokelnews.com)

(He might have shot in Canada)

Real Time Log  6:25 am; hear O’Reilly on NPR   6:45 arrive at destination (clean office, I clean offices) 8:15 am Return home (it was a very small office)  8:20 Miss replay of O’Reilly interview, I don’t care.  Didn’t need to hear in its entirety. I don’t get nervous about those things anymore.  8:26 Already planning to do this in real time.  Set up on word document for an Issue 30 or 29, whatever. Sucessfully move pictures over.  That’s news.  Wait, and wait for internet connection.  Seek help.  8:32am Look for help from sister-in-law.  Not home. Let the dogs out.  Connection was made.  Bring the dogs back home.  8:35am Back at console (moving fast, Janet doesn’t live far) Thinking to myself Janet must have gone out with brother-in-law, I remember, his work shoes and heavy shirt piled at the door to their motor home (works for the carpenters union Atlantic City, they have motor home on our property, you can’t make this stuff up.  Long story.8:37am Look up O’Reilly’s e-mail.  If I was a premium member it looks like I’d have a direct connection (red phone 3 A.M, get it?)

  10:08am E-Mail sent to Bill O’Reilly.  I know “he’s looking out for me” (just waiting for my e-mail)  

   10:23am E-mailed Sam.  Not in as quite as ecstatic state as old days.  Know this is going nowhere.  BUT, if it is, then people buy his CD, (word from our sponsor on www.theyokelnews.com).  If he gives me half the money we’ll both retire (both can buy proper health insurance) and I’ll stop torturing people I don’t know (and do know)

  11:35am Finished  Now, spell check (I’m the worst) arrange the fonts (font, what is that? I’d have said several months ago.  And do I dare then send it?  Of course.

Answer crossword puzzle (thank you spell check almost forgot)  “elite media”

2:13 pm Sent about 124 e-mails out earlier in the basically uncorrected and in some places confusing condition. Had to leave to take care of a little business and eat lunch.  Made about 20 corrections.  There’s probably 20 or more left.  This is in “real time” though.  It’s never been done like this before.  It’s a Yokel News first in the industry.  Will send off about 50 more e-mails from contact list.   I ask that you not contact me, (picture me making Curly from the 3 Stooges noises now), but write to me by way of the blog on Car Talk.  You sign on with your correct e-mail and you don’t have to give your real name.  (I repeat: I’m not really an outgoing guy.  I could live with out this.  And don’t forget to check out my friends CD on the “word from our sponsor” link in the www.theyokelnews.com.  Thank you.   Good day. (Paul H) or Good night and good luck. (E.R.M)

Logged in at about 7:30 AM  12/11/08  Spent 3 hours contacting yesterdays recipients of this issue discussing peripheral business and learning how to Yahoo messenger with Sam “buy his CD” Shabrin.   At 11:15 made a very few minor corrections to Issue 29, including spelling the names Shinseki, and Montagne correctly.  As I looked up her spelling I saw the way Steve Inskeep is spelled.  He’s a big favorite of mine.  It sound like Steve Insky when he says it on the air.   More importantly I fiddled, but only minor, with the Bill O’Reilly e-mail that I sent him yesterday.  I added the part about Winston Churchill.  See yesterday I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking about Bill’s theory too much.  I was more concerned about banging out Yokel like I was Jesse Owens in the sprints.  But the more you think about his theory the dumber it sounds.  Of course I only heard a small portion of his interview, and sometimes things are “taken out of context”  I should know.  An e-mail I’d sent to the Atlantic City Press 2 months ago, explaining a previous statement, read in part “that was a spontaneous outburst by me, and might be why politicians avoid spontaneity like the plaque”  That was quoted back in the newspaper to read, “that was a spontaneous outburst by me” That was it!!  (sounded like a scatterbrained person (politically correct, and rightfully so) Oh Boy? Now I better explain,  after a not so great  first debate performance, and after seeing the incumbent up close and personal, I e-mailed the Press, “the big moose was a turkey” and I said I was voting for the Democrat, and not going to subsequent debates, can still  be your protest candidate, yada, yada, yada, (I despise that expression).  I’m a (R) , the incumbent is an (R).  Next day I e-mailed again saying I was back in, “nobody calls me” 3 days later, still nobody calls me, and an article in Saturdays paper ( big circ. Day) says I’m voting for Dem.  If you ever started Joe Biden’s autobiography, this is starting to sound a lot like that.  Anyway the story is partly taken up in www.theyokelnews.com.   Real fast though,  I was great in the third debate (independents excluded from 2^nd AC Press debate).  Joe Biden again.( Who I’ve always admired by the way, I just couldn’t get past the first 50 pages even though it was interesting and well written).  Big egos all around including Mr. Bill O’Reilly.  

 That’s enough for one day.  12:10PM   But the work is not done.  Have to research and copy new  e-mail contacts.
