End of Silence

Andy apparently shares the outrage that I voiced back in July after seeing Outfoxed. He couldn’t avoid the Orwell comparisons either.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I just realized that I’ve been the victim of comment spam. I shouldn’t be surprised really. I naively opened up the comments to anoymous posters sometime last summer and promptly [...]

Remember that bogus reporter that I mentioned last week?

And just so I don’t devolve into Rude Pundit v2.0, I did some [...]
