i was very lucky in that, the brenners are a family of letter writers. everyone had a typewriter in the era before computers and bang away at typewriters in the middle of the night as children and my father and mother, long, long letters. anita brenner turned out to be the same kind of obsessive letter-writer pack right. all of her letters were in the university of texas, the great archives of the world. i was able to go on a traumatic day and see she had neatly kept hundreds of letters that my father and family wrote to each other in the 20s. i saw patterns, the anger that had gone on 60 years before i was on the planet that became stamped on us. it became our dna. >> anything that helped you get insight as to why so much of your brother's anger and passion into what you regarded as coo coo politics? >> that is an interesting question. it is hard. what i have learned is, i have written biographies, bingham family of louisville. we take a letter of a piece of evidence, there is a ah-huh, this anger daughter wrote a letter to her

the next reader is summer brenner. . >> i'm going it read today an excerpt from anana, queen of heaven and earth. i wanted to say a few words about anana. this is the oldest literary work that we have. these are the cuniform tablets that were excavated in the late 1880's and early 1890's by the university of pennsylvania. tens of thousands of fragments of cuniform fragments. the story of anana starts in her adolescence. it travels through her journey as a queen and a goddess, and much of her story is devoted to the love, a very passionate love, for dimusi, who is a shepherd who she takes as her husband, lover and king. and this is called the return. a lament was raised in the city. my lady weeps bitterly for her young husband. anana weeps bitterly for her young husband. woe for her husband, woe for her young love, woe for her house, woe for her city. dimusi was taken captive in aruk. he will no longer bathe in aradu. he will no longer treat the mother of anana of his mother. he will no longer perform his sweet task among the maidens of the city. he will no longer raise his sword higher

it's, of course, later on when paul brenner arrives, there's a much more transformative goal and the goal of rebuilding iraq from the ground up becomes u.s. policy, but the fact that's not the way the united states went in has profound consequences for the next couple of years as the u.s. struggles to catch up with the new policy and build the resources to do it. it's not until 2006 that we get a real strategy for clear hold and build and so forth in iraq. obama is a tricky case. you might think that someone who spent a lot of time doing community organizing would be an institution builder abroad, but i actually, you know, from what evidence we've seen, i think the more useful pieces of information from his previous background is his opposition to the iraq war which is what he's perhaps most famous for on the foreign policy front before his election. he was close to the iraq war and actions taken as president have to some extent reflected that. not very quick to jump on the anti-mubarak band wagon in egypt uprising. the 2009 surge in afghanistan. throughout that debate based on accou

david brenner got his start on "the tonight show" and can be found on "comedy central."bted to jerry lewis because he told the world how great you were when you were not as well known as you are now. jerry lewis is 85 years old. this is what happens. even when you are 40 years old. your tv appeal is slipping and the next thing you know you are not hosting anymore. it can happen. even deck clark came out and said part of the keefe is knowing when it's time to leave. some folks are saying it is time for him to leave. other folks say it was handled outrageously even if that is the case. >> i think it's outrageous. it's terrible. but it's not surprising. because the tv executives like corporate executives. painting by numbers, they squeeze you until you no longer produce any money for them. then they to us out like a used condom. it's very common. i think that's the case here. they did it to mike douglas. they did it to johnny carson. 22 years on the air. he gave them 25% of their gross income. but thanks to johnny, they tossed him out and now they did it to jerry lewis. meg

tom brenner, france: folks like miss hannah are naive to think energy independence can be done withoutsil fuels. from ohio, maxine waters should know if it weren't for fox news, we would hear anything she had to say. in dallas, north carolina, your comment about miss waters' hair was inappropriate. please remain professional. difficult for me, elaine. i was just saying the hair is a distraction. i wasn't casting aspersions on it. stephanie conway, new jersey, i lived on the "jersey shore" my whole life. can't wait for the program to end. i can promise you that most of us don't act like those people. in new york: "jersey shore" is nothing more than a show for viewers who revel in shop wore anti-italian stereotypes. from virginia, the segments by jersey waters are da bomb. i believe that means mark likes them. am i correct on that? jerry, little river, south carolina: mr. o, when are you and the ever amazing dennis miller going to bring the tour to myrtle beach? i'll buy the oysters. miller will like that you called him ever amazing. you can watch a 15 minute clip on billoreilly.com. eve

we cut taxes during the time of war, and we had two wars, and we gave them a blank check, and when brenner was there, the hearing where they gave bags of money out. we want to blame obama for everything, for his health care, at least health care is helping people, money squandered over there didn't help anybody, and they still hate us over there, and it's fair that obama gets the blame for everything. >> host: thanks a. a call from baltimore. you're on the air, democrat, please. >> caller: my question is for mr. edward. thank you for michael for being the head out there because a flat tax for everybody out there, the question i ask for him is as a mobile -- tax return for the -- million dollar tax return from a year of $1 billion. i don't think that's fair. also, charity. charity, given to charity is not deductible. it comes from your heart and conscious, and i don't think anybody expects the government to give you money back 23r what you give of the good of your own heart. pay for deductions that you reach out of one's pocket. it's not fair to anyone at all, and bank of america is also la
