..I would like to just pause for a second and say something about a guy named Scott Lowery who posted at Democratic Underground under the name Khephra.

Cathy and I met him at the first anti war march, anti Iraq war march a couple of years ago in Washington, D.C. That was when we first met Will Rivers Pitt, and a lot of other folks who are Democratic Underground supporters, posters, stalwarts, members of that community.

We met Khephra just that one time, and we liked him enormously. And on Saturday, he was found at his computer terminal at his desk dead. There' s no official cause of death. It's my understanding there is going to be an autopsy, but he was a good guy. He was an American; he was a patriot; he was a Howard Dean supporter, and unless you were a regular (at) Democratic Underground, his name really doesn't mean anything, and I apologize for asking people who don't know who I'm talking about to take just this brief minute to listen to me go on about this guy.

I didn't know him that well, but I just knew that he was a man of deep political conviction and compassion and understanding, and Cathy and I liked him. That's all I have to say about that.

Cathy just said in my headphones that he contributed quite a bit to the program. He sent stuff in to Cathy that we used, Cathy used, so that's all.
