3. Hey, you are right!

If you look carefully you can see his tomb vibrating from the high velocity spinning.

7. That is one impressive grave!

Not that he doesn't deserve it, mind you.

RW talk radio and Clear Channel sure aren't his fault.

On edit, well, okay, maybe he doesn't deserve it. I just read post 5.

4. Well, to be fair

I think he displayed "excellence in radio"

After all, he somehow managed to convince many Americans that he was relevant, honest, and unbiased.

6. Well, then those Americans were probably mentally-impaired

EOM

5. Marconi's grave is a No Spin Zone

Guglielmo Marconi, the father of radio and Italy's scientific hero of the 20th century, has been outed as a fascist hatchetman for Benito Mussolini's anti-Semitic policies.

Documents unearthed in Rome have exposed Mr Marconi as a clandestine but willing enforcer of the dictator's campaign against Jews years before the persecution came into the open.

As head of the Academy of Italy, the Nobel prize winner blocked all Jewish candidates at the behest of the dictator at a time when the regime still denied having any religious prejudice.

Marconi, revered in Italy for helping to usher in the technological age, wrote the letter "E" beside the names of Jewish scientists his colleagues had short-listed to become members of the academy. The Italian word for Jew is "Ebreo".
