I have a strong feeling that his occasional expenditures in behalf of WBAI (flyers, an ad, a table, etc.) is tantamount to paying reparations for having played a major role in the selection and hiring of Berthold Reimers, and for his efforts to help Mitchel in the Reimers coverups.<br /><br />I just hope Murillo isn't selected as Reimers' replacement. That person needs to be a total stranger, one who can divorce his decisions from any personal acquaintanceship with the opportunistic bozos currently occupying selfie radio.<br /><br />If help were needed to clean out Reimers' desk, the line would form on the right, the left, and in the middle.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-89757387180429219452015-07-14T13:39:38.539-04:002015-07-14T13:39:38.539-04:00(JustAListener)

That <br />> would certainly be justified by this accounting disaster and <br />> many other reasons, but anybody have any verification of it?<br /><br />Why would he be meeting with him this afternoon if he was fired last weekend?<br /><br />Oh.<br /><br />To help him clean out his desk?<br /><br />mmm...<br /><br />I dunno<br /><br />None of this is beyond imagining or beyond precedent of a sort.<br />(Frank LaFever)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-51556381787284082442015-07-14T12:04:52.049-04:002015-07-14T12:04:52.049-04:00Yes, Haskins doesn't have to repeat his own na...Yes, Haskins doesn't have to repeat his own name every two minutes, his bungled audio work identifies him.
