Dear PE,
Sad to say, but its not hard to see why your paper wouldn't cover Stephen Colbert's stunning performance at the WH correspondents' diner. His biting remarks merely held our press and president to minimum standards of truth. But it is surprising that you instead publish E. Bumiller's transparently non-news story on the patently weak routine enacted by the president and his comedic stunt double. For you to propagate the resulting disinformation suggests that you have learned nothing from the Judy Miller debacle. This is a lie by omission and you know it. Please address this matter publicly or continue to lose credibility for the MSM.

About The Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau and The Ponderosa Stomp
THE MYSTIC KNIGHTS OF THE MAU MAU
The Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau is a 501(c) 3 cultural organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the rich history of American roots music. Through festivals, special events, concerts and outreach activities featuring musical living legends, we honor influential artists and educate audiences about their massive contributions to American culture.
OUR MISSION
Our primary annual event, the internationally revered Ponderosa Stomp, exists to celebrate, pay tribute to, and teach the cultural significance of the unsung heroes and heroines of rock-n-roll, rhythm & blues and other forms of American roots music while they are still alive. The Stomp festival and its year-round activities provide both a voice and career revival to overlooked sidemen, session musicians and other influential pioneers whose contributions have shaped American culture for over 50 years.
PONDEROSA STOMP
The Ponderosa Stomp is an American roots music festival dedicated to recognizing the architects of rock-n-roll, blues, jazz, country, swamp pop, reggae and soul. Founded in New Orleans and produced by the non-profit Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau, a diverse group of music fanatics who have presented over 40 concerts with over 150 musical legends, the Stomp always succeeds in exposing rare musical icons to their adoring fans and to new audiences. The Stomp itself has now become legendary in reviving careers and giving a new lease on musical life to so many performers.

Billy, a yellow-naped Amazon, delivered the extended monologue that staff members call a "one-sided phone conversation."
"Hello," he said as a visitor approached and then continued with considered pauses between phrases: "Uh huh" ... "Yeah" ... "O.K." ... "Then what happened?"

Debra Burlingame, a board member of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation whose brother was captain of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, said the museum seemed to be going in the right direction.
"I'm optimistic," she said. "I don't think they're going to get into politics and ideology. At the Holocaust Museum they don't engage in debates about whether the Jews were somehow responsible for their situation."read that quote again if it didnt stick in your craw the first time.
People drift through a large, ornate French hotel. Sometimes time freezes. X thinks he met A last year in the garden at Fredericksburg, although she is unable to remember him. He himself isn't even certain whether it was at Fredericksburg, Marienbad, Baden-Salsa where they met or here. He describes how when they met she nearly gave herself to him but held herself back at the last minute. They agreed they would meet again in one year's time to see if his love for her was strong enough to wait or if she would have forgetten him. He presses her not to hold back this time and to remember what happened.
catching up on the fab-prefab containerbay page and found this :
The Landmarks Preservation Commission today approved a certificate of appropriateness for a new residential co-operative building with 8 units at 372 Lafayette Street in NoHo. The 6-story building is distinguished by its red-metal structural frame that houses shipping container boxes.
...
“The use of the shipping containers has aesthetic and historical analogies to the district’s cast-iron architecture. Both are mass-produced and pre-fabricated and the repetitive bays of the shipping containers are similar to the repeating arches and panel of Italianate building. In overreaching terms, this is an appropriate material and building construction to introduce into this manufacturing district,” she continued.
The civic organization at that time objecting to the blue cladding then planned for the building, recommending the use of “brick red containers could help mediate between this new and very modern material and the historic buildings.” “It is heartening to see a building that adaptively uses what is normally an industrial cast-off,” Ms. Kersavage concluded.

so this is being played like silverstein finally caved. but who is the winner here? we inherit an ill conceived (that is, plug ugly, too big too hybrid designed - dont forget those bird chomping turbines) building (still being referred to as "the freedom tower") that has no tenets. thats a win?!
But some construction and real estate industry executives, and some urban planners, hear echoes of the hoopla surrounding the original World Trade Center project more than 30 years ago. They are questioning whether the rapid building of so much speculative office space would have the same destabilizing consequences for the downtown market as the twin towers had in the 1970's.
Some experts are even wondering whether there will be enough steel, concrete and curtain wall to build the four towers by 2012 at the same time that two baseball stadiums, the $2 billion Goldman Sachs headquarters, the $1.7 billion expansion of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Moynihan Station, 10,000 apartments and various subway projects are under construction.
