Tactless Reporting

While I thanked most of the members of the media for acting in a respectful and responsible manner pertaining to the way they handled Aaron Russo’s death, there are two media outlets which didn’t do so well: The Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Vanguard News Network.

GordonUnleased and a Very Dear Friend to Hit Tucker Carlson Friday

Remember the posting from the other day about Strippers for Ron Paul? It’s now made it to national television. The producers contacted me yesterday to set up the contact and now it’s a done deal (unless Cheney resigns or Bush changes his mind about Iraq policy or Hillary renounces being a general bitch that day).
