THIS WAS DANIEL SCHORR: Longtime journalism fixture Daniel Schorr died this morning at 93. NPR has an extensive obituary along with an archive of recent commentaries. (Most bizarre factoid--courtesy of Wiki--he was good friends with Frank Zappa.)

    Daniel Schorr and Dick Buckley? My radio experience has just changed dramatically.

    He must've been the inspiration for Joe's Garage.

    Huh?  His voice sounded like what you'd get if you ate a bowl of cigar and then shotgunned a can of phlegm.

    So have I told you about the time I was on Nixon's enemy list?

    An old boss of mine was on the enemies list.  Had a framed copy of the NYT article naming him hanging in his office.
