Threatening to kill NPR hosts of "All Things Considered" : Gee, I like that show....

MARCH 16--A Maine man has been jailed on federal charges that he threatened to kill or harm two of the hosts of “All Things Considered,” the popular National Public Radio news program, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The defendant in custody, John Crosby, was arrested in late-January by FBI agents and named last month in a three-count felony indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Portland. The case against Crosby, 38, has not been publicized by the Department of Justice, nor has it been reported by NPR.

Crosby, whose rap sheet includes separate convictions for robbery and heroin possession, has been held without bail since his January 26 arrest inside a library at the University of Southern Maine, from which he graduated in 2009. During a search of Crosby’s Volvo station wagon following his bust, FBI agents found a shotgun and shells in the vehicle, according to court records.

Crosby, who graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, is pictured above in a photo from an April 2008 banquet at which he was awarded a National Semiconductor Scholarship.

I wish nature would harvest nuts faster then they reproduce.

He was most likely just out hunting . . . .

there never any doubt they are out there, at least some are easier to identify than others. Being an ME surounded by EE's, I think they are a little closer than most

Shurely shome mishtake.

Because he drives a Volvo station wagon.

Back when I used to sell LOTS of Volvo parts, I learned that some of the owners were pretty wacko. I had one guy drive to the store on the emergency brake to buy a master cylinder, and another customer insisted that I call her car Emma while I looked up a downpipe for it.

^^As you were already looking up it's downpipe, a first-name basis would be appropriate.

A Volvo salesman in Dallas once told me that many of his new car customers came to his store directly from a Mercedes dealer. He said he was glad to sell them a car but was a little upset that they considered a Mercedes first.

Perhaps it was his inability to own a Mercedes that drove him to it.

OK, I think I have this thing figured out.....

Having changed that little 'S' shaped heater hose on the back of that 4-cyl one to many times.... he just went nuts.

Those of you that have owned a 4-cyl Volvo will know what I am talking about.

Now come on guys...you gotta admit, NPR can be very irritating sometimes. Constantly announcing what their names are...I can remember stuff for 20 seconds you know !

And those interviews with folk with that nasal voice, creaking away, to say nothing of those terrible mispronunciations.

Still, nothing compared to being lumbered with a VOLVO I suppose....and a Wagon at that !

I like Car Talk.
