Still Missing Issues, Etc.

Not that I didn't think the Issues, Etc. plot wouldn't thicken, but I did not guess the firestorm it has provoked.

I wish I could say all that I want to about the fact that this show is off the air, but I do not feel that I am glib enough or can add any pithy comments to all the comments that are floating around about cyberspace.

Still, I cannot reconcile or justify myself to its disappearance, and my fear is that even if it returns in whatever form, it will not be the same Issues, Etc. that I have come to know and respect.

I love Garage Logic (a radio talk program from Minnesota) and listen to it online. Yesterday a caller called in on the topic of whatever it was about which they were talking and said, "They have gone from wanting to challenge things to shutting it down." It is so unbelievably true in our world in more ways than one. I point no fingers anywhere; I am merely observing.

Todd, Jeff, we miss you.
