Editor & Publisher has the basic rundown on the Ben Domenech/"Red America" saga.

Welcome.

Thanks to Arianna for giving me a little space in this little venture. My bio nearby tells you a little bit about me. It also informs you where else you can find me in the "real world" as well as other parts of blogdom. Since I...
