The email to end all emails

I am fortunate to have in-laws who I love.  Not everyone is so fortunate.  I pass along to you the item we came across today--if true, as the British press have reported, it's the email to end all emails--and might become the most emailed-around-email in a good long while.  Enjoy.

We hope you can join us tonight.

Hi, Brian, thanks for bringing my attention to the email scandal. The Bourne affair made my day. My favorite comment from the Daily Mail website was "This woman is a common flower-seller." Hah!

    Did I miss the apology for airing a false report concerning a supposed twitter account owned by the pope. Looks like you were duped and we are to trust your reporting on Washington.

    Obama rails on the republicans for not staying in town to work on dire matters then jets off to PA for a money grab for re-election.

    On the debt crisis side of things, I think I know whatObama meant with his hope and change campaign. If he got elected, we could all hope we would get to keep the change from the pay checks.

      Brian,

      I hope the President does not beat himself up over Congress who is like an unresponsive lover.

      When some one says "Calm down", they don't understand the situation. President Obama is

      not wired, he is empowered.

      As concerns our soldiers, we owe them a debt that can never be repaid.

      I like your purple tie and I believe you wore that same purple tie the first of the week and I

      really like purple.

      Have a nice evening!

      Phyllis

        Good Evening Mr.Williams, Another great broadcast this evening as always. Interesting e-mail with future in-laws. Alot of tension.

        Now on to the broadcast. First of all the report by Mr.Pete Williams on the US citizen of Nigerian background who managed to board an airplane using someone elses boarding pass. How he was easily able to get through security and board a plane is staggering and certainly raises many questions. Then finally when he was arrested there were other passes in various names which is truly alarming. One hopes those involved in allowing this to happen will recieve more training in being able to look more closely at documents used in boarding airplanes.

        I thought your anaylsis Mr.Williams of going through the process of getting through an airport quite humorous. Although, one hopes these breeches of security will not happen again.

        The report by Janet Shamlian frm Los Alamos showed how the effort by firefighters to quell the flames continues. One hopes the flames stay away from the labratory as the evacuation order for residents remains in effect.

        Terrible to learn of three US soldiers killed in Iraq and seven wounded. It is so tragic for the families as ones thoughts and prayers go out to them.

        The report by Adrienne Mong from China about how they have opened up the longest bridge over water and built a new high speed rail system showed how the technology and money in the region have made these massive projects possible to build. Hearing about the new high speed rail line and the time it takes to travel the distance of route at 187mph is incredible.

        The report by Mr.Costello on why the United States has not built a high speed rail line yet in certain States pointed mainly to the project being too costly. Yet, in many cities it could be beneficial in getting from one major city to another. Time will tell.

        Wonderful that Richard Engel received the Daniel Pearl Award! Richard is extremely deserving of the honor and is always truly brave and dedicated to bringing the reports from the war zones with the US Troops and many Middle East regions. It was great to see Richard recieve the award! Congratulations Richard!

        And Craig White a big congratulations on his retirement. Mr.White has done some incredible photography covering the invasion into Iraq and the footage from under the bridge during the firefight in Baghdad was intense and amazing to see happen. His photoagraphy with David Bloom who will always be remembered for fine reporting and is missed greatly and his footage with Richard during the pullout of US combat Troops from Iraq last August was truly memorable and excellent. One wished him the best! And hopes he enjoys his retirement.

        On another note the report by Mr.Tibbles from Canada about Prince William and Kate Middleton's visit showed how so many people are very excited to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. One hopes they have a wonderful time!

        Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

        Be Well Everyone!

        Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Congratulations on the Daniel Pearl Award! Please Travel Safely!

        Take Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

        Lisa

          High speed trains are great. Only problem with them is that they are costly. Any country that is operating them do so with heavy subsidies and China will be no different. Japans are government run as are Frances and the entire train system of Europe. None can stand on their own. So, if the United States is to take on a project like this, the taxpayers need to understand that their tax dollars will be used to keep them afloat as long as they exist. All we need to do is look at Amtrack. If the government stopped the money flow to them, they would be out of business in a matter of months.

          Just look at the mass transit systems in any of our cities. If they do not get government money, they shut down. How can you operate a bus system with the drivers making $100,000.00 dollars per year in a lot of cases.

            Brian: I read the e-mail publihed in the Daily Maill. Thanks for the tip. Carolyn Bourne's e-mail is indeed a gem, and should be place in a special section of the British Museum for posterity, so that all disgruntled mother in laws to be can take notes to send to their soon to be daughter in laws who exhibit improper manners and etiquette. Mrs. Bourne is highly instable and should visit a shrink, so can be told of her unacceptable flaws. She must be dillusional, because she thinks of herself as belonging to the Royal Family.This e-mail is indeed a stand out, as far as vitriol is concerened. Tally Ho, Mrs. Bourne, and keep those e-mails coming, father of the bride. I'll catch you on tonight's broadcast, unless you're at the Jersey Shore.
