Greetings:

I'll be on the Anderson Cooper program tonight, click here for details: http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/the-full-picture.htm

Respectfully,

Michael Yon

FYI and for your viewing pleasure.

Excellent.

Thanks!

[the anti-liberal]

I'm glad there's at least one Michael Yon fan around here!

[Bahbah]

Michael Yon is just the best. I would not otherwise bother with Anderson Cooper.

dont go to his house for drinks afterward your butt might hurt the next morning

Thanks for the link. While some in the media are playing this off as sillyness, a fair amount of the media seem to be understanding that the gig is up, at least in part.

We'll never reach them all. We won't even reach a majority, but I do think reports will improve somewhat in the short term.

I'm confused. Michael Yon was on last night, but they lost his feed... So is Anderson Cooper bringing him back again tonight? If so, that's good; because he was sounding very good, before the screen went blank.

"I would not otherwise bother with Anderson Cooper."

No kidding, same here.

"Michael Yon was on last night, but they lost his feed... So is Anderson Cooper bringing him back again tonight?"

I didn't see it. I only know about this because I get Yon's email dispatches. I rarely watch televised news, and when I do it's only on Fox.

Could someone please explain who this Micheal Yon is and why he is apparently so well respected here?

[the anti-liberal]

Here's an example of one of his dispatches (from the archives - Wednesday, August 31, 2005):

Gates of Fire

I think you'll agree, the guy's awesome.

[TASMANIANRED]

Good .

Don't take any lip.

[the anti-liberal]

"Don't take any lip."

Never.

Though I'm not sure what to make of stickandpucknut's (#6) comment about my butt hurting the next morning...

[TASMANIANRED]

Comment isn't about you.

Comment is about Cooper.

He is making a barely veiled remark about his sexual preference.

[the anti-liberal]

"Comment is about Cooper."

LOL - I thought his comment was about Michael Yon, I couldn't imagine such a thing, but sometimes you never know...

[TASMANIANRED]

Don't drink with a man you wouldn't want to turn your back to.....

[the anti-liberal]

Next time I have a drink with a reporter, I'll remember not to turn my back. :^)

Good advice, that.
