The Truth Died yesterday

Crazy Horse here- Jack Anderson died yesterday. For those who don't know, who have no idea, Jack was the first of the whole truth journalists. He struck fear into the hearts of corrupt politians everywhere. The column broke a string of big scandals, from Eisenhower assistant Sherman Adams taking a vicuna coat and other gifts from a wealthy industrialist in 1958 to the Reagan administration's secret arms-for-hostages deal with Iran in 1986.
Anderson won a 1972 Pulitzer Prize for reporting that the Nixon administration secretly tilted toward Pakistan in its war with India. He also published the secret transcripts of the Watergate grand jury.
Such scoops earned him a spot on President Nixon's "enemies list." Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy has described how he and other Nixon political operatives planned ways to silence Anderson permanently — such as slipping him LSD or staging a fatal car crash — but the White House nixed the idea.
Over the years, Anderson was threatened by the Mafia and investigated by numerous government agencies trying to trace the sources of his leaks. In 1989, police investigated him for smuggling a gun into the U.S. Capitol to demonstrate security lapses.
Known for his toughness on the trail of a story, he was also praised for personal kindness. Anderson's son Kevin said that when his father's reporting led to the arrest of some involved in the Watergate scandal, he aided their families financially.
So what does this have to do with motorcycles? It's a well known fact the politians don't like motorcycles, especially custom motorcycles, hence that abomination of a law that makes it illegal to own more than one custom bike in your lifetime.
Bikers have always been about truth. And truth in this country is a rare thing to find. It takes guts to stand up for the truth, especially when very powerful people are after you.
But this man did just that. Thanks Jack. You made this world a better place.
