Surreal This is my weirdest email of the week (and perhaps the month), in response to my previous two Foxnews columns (or at least so I surmise, to the best of my admittedly limited interpretive ability). The author didn't specify what pharmaceutical assistance empowered him or her to write it. Ollah: praise Olleh...for Olluh is great. It's in italics because that's the way it came in to my email client. Make of it what you will. I report, you decide... Posted by Rand Simberg at August 08, 2003 10:27 PMTrackBack URL for this entry:

The writer is correct that many of the Churchill speeches we hear were not recorded by Churchill. It was not some dark plot. The speeches were made in the House of Commons, by Churchill himself, and duly recorded by the clerks. But at that time, no radio or recording equipment was allowed in the House chamber, so MPs would often stop by the BBC afterwards and repeat their speeches for the network. In Churchill's case, he was the leader of a country at war and rarely had time to do this repeat performance. Instead, an actor was sent - I forget his name - to do the radio recording. It was nothing more sinister than that, I'm afraid. I think somebody has just come up with an advanced ( ? ) version of now-defunct Scott Pakin's Automatic Complaint Generator.

Raoul, I believe you speak of 'Bizzaro World'. Posted by Mike Puckett at August 9, 2003 05:54 PMIf anyone really cares about whose voice did the broadcasts of Churchill's speeches, check out http://www.powell-pressburger.org/Reviews/Shelley/Shelley01.html . Read the update at the bottom of the page. In brief: The situation is unclear. Bad 'shrooms, massive amounts of peyote, Mr Natural on the loose again, or just stupidity, he wrote it, you decide!!
