Right now there is a man who has taken hostages at the Discovery Channel’s building in Silver Spring, Maryland. I’m watching Fox News for the latest updates on what is unfolding. Here is their story on FoxNews.com.
His name is being reported as James Jay Lee and he has a long history of hating the Discovery channel that is well documented online. For starters there is this DCist post from January 2008 about this guy’s protest against the Discovery channel. They basically mock him for being a nut because of this insane manifesto he posted online around the same time.
That insane manifesto includes a list of demands that includes this:
2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.
It goes on and on like that and its repeated in two other pages on the same site. Here and here.
He also has a Myspace page (entitled “WorldGuardian”) where he promotes his website and his protest against the Discovery channel. He also continues to make evident his obsession with some author named “Daniel Quinn” who he lists as a hero.
Here are the interests he lists under television:

This is news? Talk about a "Dog Bites Man" story....
You can bet MSM members are PRAYING the guy is a republican or has ever been within 10 miles of a tea party event.
Why was he mad? The Discovery Channel doesn’t take Global Warming and the innate evil of humanity seriously!
Whats his DU screenname?
Somehow they’ll do it. Remember, they made Stack a tea-partier. I’m still scratching my head on that one.
I hope they get a clean shot at him before he starts hurting people.
This could all be ended if the police informed Lee the the detonation of his bomb will ruin the ozone layer and pollute the air.
This guy could get a job at the UN

Daniel Quinn - Book Ishmael - from Amazon:
“Quinn ( Dreamer ) won the Turner Tomorrow Award’s half-million-dollar first prize for this fascinating and odd book—not a novel by any conventional definition—which was written 13 years ago but could not find a publisher. The unnamed narrator is a disillusioned modern writer who answers a personal ad (”Teacher seeks pupil. . . . Apply in person.”) and thereby meets a wise, learned gorilla named Ishmael that can communicate telepathically. The bulk of the book consists entirely of philosophical dialogues between gorilla and man, on the model of Plato’s Republic. Through Ishmael, Quinn offers a wide-ranging if highly general examination of the history of our civilization, illuminating the assumptions and philosophies at the heart of many global problems. Despite some gross oversimplifications, Quinn’s ideas are fairly convincing; it’s hard not to agree that unrestrained population growth and an obsession with conquest and control of the environment are among the key issues of our times. Quinn also traces these problems back to the agricultural revolution and offers a provocative rereading of the biblical stories of Genesis. Though hardly any plot to speak of lies behind this long dialogue, Quinn’s smooth style and his intriguing proposals should hold the attention of readers interested in the daunting dilemmas that beset our planet.”
Reader summary:
“Quinn uses a gorilla as an outsider looking in and perceiving the reality of civilization - of cultures using intensive agriculture to dominate the world. His conclusions are for the most part negative: he concludes that civilization is not sustainable in the long term (that is, over millions of years).”
Bottom line, our ALGORE wannebe loves a book about a gorilla citing mankinds failings. I guess this is some twist on Darwin but who cares. Man, not gorillas, escaped the Darwin Cage about 40K years ago. Nanny nanny boo boo on you gorilla.
Another liberal environmental terrorist. Watch the media coverage. They’ll say that over and over.
I say he will be shot by LEOs before this ends. . .
