I believe in free speech. I believe in integrity. I believe in independent journalism. I believe Fox News has become the punchline of media. I believe apathy is the new black, and that is why we will never have a revolution no matter how bad we need it. I believe internet killed the TV star...in the billiards room...with the lead pipe.

I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music, dear Teejay!
