Quoted in Salon
I was quoted in Salon.com yesterday in a short piece on the "macaca" question by Andrew Leonard. He makes some good points, and the comments on the article are also worthwhile (well, some of them).

I am glad the MSM took note of your thoughtful commentary.
I am also very pleased that of the four political candidates I contributed campaign cash to, two (Nick Lampson in Texas and Jim Webb in Virginia) won in high profile races. As a Democrat in Texas, this is the best return for my money in years.
