Weird obsessive stalker "journalist" from CNN has written Obama a letter every day for the last 4 years

I've never heard of this guy (since like most of the world I never watch CNN), but apparently he's one of their fair and balanced anchor people.

This is so creepy and unbalanced adolescent girlish.  "I did not intend to get in this deep" and "in almost every missive, I invited the president to give me a call. He never did."

Here's the article on his last letter: "I’ve already sworn to my wife that I won’t continue writing to you."

Can you imagine staying married to someone like this?

Meet Mike, The Most Radioactive Fish Ever From Fukushima

At ZeroHedge: 

Almost two years after the awful nuclear disaster occurred, a fish caught near Fukushima on Friday January 18th had a record-breaking level of radioactive contamination over 2500x the legal limit. TEPCO measured 'Mike the Murasoi' at 254,000 becquerels per kilogram (with the limit for edible seafood at 100 becquerels). As Le Monde reports, the previous record (caught on August 21st 2012) was a mere 25,800 becquerels/kg. 

As further precautions, TEPCO is installing new nets 20km around the Fukushima Daichi site to avoid highly contaminated fish gettig too far and being consumed by other species. While Mike's family are no doubt distraught (at him being caught and being so radioactive), it appears (somewhat disappointingly) that there is no apparent third eye, lazer fins, legs, or other 'expected' 'blinky' malformations.
