3. Not Funny

I've given up on tinfoil, going to full body armor.

5. Tinfoil is only effective for voice and radio transmissions

Dick the Cheney uses depleted Uranium cause he doesn't give a fuck what happens to the planet because he'll be dead in a few years anyway. Tinfoil won't do it.

6. For those of us who have never heard of George Weber, from his blog

Perhaps you've heard, I'm no longer on WABC Radio in New York.

At the end of February, 2008, Citadel Communications fired more than 100 people, including myself in dozens of cities. It was a cost cutting move.

But, don't fret. Find out what I'm up to at my brand new blog.

My condolences to Mr. Weber's family.
