Don DUMBSFailed—”PEST” Editor at the LA Times(tm)–I GUESS THEY’RE REALLY SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL TO PUT “Rummy the DUMMY” IN SUCH A POSITION!!!!!
March 25th, 2007 at 9:18 pmstupid liberal media…
March 25th, 2007 at 9:19 pmThis is a new low for the LA Times. Perhaps they can cap the deal by making Alan Greenspan their financial editor. editor. Both are senile old men.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:22 pmThat’s totally nuts. Geez…
March 25th, 2007 at 9:27 pmWhat the hell happened? Didn’t the LA times do some great reporting once?
March 25th, 2007 at 9:30 pmMaybe they can get Tom Delay for the metro-beat too.
-GSD
March 25th, 2007 at 9:31 pmDon Rumsfeld on the L.A. Times? That’s great! Why don’t we ask the moron about his imbecile comment about the looting of the Baghdad museum? As in “stuff happens”?
So, Donald the moron, 6,000 years of history was not worth protecting… Gee! The Energy Ministry needed protecting instead.
Evidently, idiocy and crass ignorance were – and still are — at work within this maladamistration.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:31 pmHere’s a couple links that need to be at the top. If you’ve seen them already, they are intended for someone else. :-)
We have lots of work to do to end this Mid-Eastern imbroglio, and to do that, we need to get a whole lot smarter.
Scott Ritter: Calling Out Idiot America
Please pass this one on. It needs to be seen by everyone.
Just for grins, the latest installment of Keyboard Kommandos is awesome:
The Price of Genius
Have fun…be back in a bit.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:32 pmThat damn liberal media at it again.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:35 pmWell, apparently, Rumsfeld needs a gig to pay the bills, since his new position at the White House is an ‘unpaid advisor’.
Remember, folks, Rummy never left.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:36 pmLegitimate posters only please
March 25th, 2007 at 9:37 pmDoes the LA Times understand that times have changed, and that Rumsfeld is as popular as the avian influenza?
Rumsfeld is a piece of crap, both as a human being, and as a former commander or the armed forces.
Rumsfeld is both incompetent and evil. The man is a monster. He should be in jail for the rest of his repulsive life.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:37 pmRummy is an old friend of the editor at the LA times.
This is another case of cronyism, loyalty, good ol’ boys, etc.
SSDD.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:39 pmThe LA times is a piece of crap.
Oh sorry, that may offend the group think.
Could someone please post the group think rules?
Feinstein = Unquestionably good
March 25th, 2007 at 9:41 pmLA TImes = Jury still out
Rumsfeld = Evil
I would wonder if this is a paid position.
Also, I would investigate whether advertisements by businesses in which Rummy is involved increase in the LA Times.
I do recall that AEI often gets to place to its op-eds in the LA Times.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:42 pmThe article also says that Magic Johnson will also guest edit—so I guess no journalisitic skills whatsoever are needed.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:42 pmOhh how the mighty have fallen.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:42 pmYou’ve got to be jacking me. Rumsfeld writing for the LA Times is like having Quasimodo named Most Eligible Hunk of The Year. Did someone have a brain fart out in Hollywood?
March 25th, 2007 at 9:42 pmMakes perfect sense to me. The LA TImes is a pseudo newspaper run by corporate aholes, and Rumsfeld is a corporate ahole. Who did he work for before becoming a war criminal? Was it General Motors, Ford, GE? One of those. He’s probably had sex with half the board
March 25th, 2007 at 9:44 pmIt appears that the editors of some papers are unable to grasp what has happened to government under the purview of their friends in high places.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:46 pmThey hire morons as columnists; they hire senile old men to edit the commentary pages.
With people like this in charge of the major papers, we remain in deep sh*t in American media.
Back in 2001, when Rummy had to divulge the range of his wealth, it fell in the “up to $200 million” range if I remember correctly.
Turns out there is a lot of money in selling WMD to Saddam.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:46 pmOr he’s related to halfl the board. Or he’s had sex and is related to all of the board. It’s definitely most likely an incestous thang anyway. Birds of a feather must stick together.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:46 pmRummy is an old friend of the editor at the LA times.
Comment by Marie
Well that says it all, and then some. I imagine he’ll be quite a controversial name for the bottom of the birdcage.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:47 pmunable to grasp what has happened to government under the purview of their friends in high places.
Come on. They know exactly what has happened. They helped make it happen. They ARE what has happened.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:49 pmcontroversial name for the bottom of the birdcage
Dianne Feinstein probably recommended him for the job. It’s part of her ‘natural personality’ don’t cha know
March 25th, 2007 at 9:50 pmThe LA Times editorial page used to be good when they had Robert Scheer. They axed him for Jonah Goldberg and it’s been all downhill ever since. How the mighty fall.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:51 pmHere’s an interesting article detailing the relaitionship between the LA Times publisher, Rumsfeld, and Reagan.
These guys go way back.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:52 pmoh boy! more REICH-wing propaganda!
im looking forward to yet ANOTHER good laugh….

March 25th, 2007 at 9:54 pmThe Chgo. Tribune recently bought the LAT and Rummy is from the (north) Chicago area. He worked for a drug company many years ago. He was on the Board of the Tribune.
Loyalty to your friends — one hand always washes the other — they never forget; regardless of corruption, deceit, death, damage to the nation,
OOHHHH don’t say anything bad about Diane. Don’t you dare. Don’t do it. NOOOOOOO.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:55 pmDiane has a ‘natural personality’. We don’t what that means. But DON’T ASK ABOUT IT WHATEVER YOU DO. DON’T MENTION IT.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:56 pmThe downhill slide began with the LAT firing Robert Scheer. It is no longer a good paper.
March 25th, 2007 at 9:58 pmdonald rumsfeld (that crook) is responsible for leading me to
believe nutrasweet/aspartame is just two perfectly innocent
amino acids, back in the 1980’s, along with all the political
corruption scandals including the FDA and scientists.
out of all the symptoms stated, i have experienced many of them
and just recently learned the truth regarding these symptoms
fortunately for me, i have avoided the other scandals including the
health care disaster in this country including a totally corrupt food
industry, so for the most part i’m really healthy for my age.
and now, because of all the political maggots, mites, ticks, and leaches,
in a cesspool of the revolving door, like between monsanto and all the
rest of these totally corrupted parasites……….
i’m now growing my vegetables in live soil that can support life like worms
and what nature intended instead of dumping ammonium fertilizers which
is highly toxic to the soils ecology system
can’t dog gone by food without it being corrupted nor health care, nor insurance, nor ANYTHING this cesspool of parasites infest AND
i’m doing my part in avoiding sectors of society which have become highly
infested with these totally corrupted things
ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERY ONE P U K E !!!!!!!!
If everyone didn’t already know, i believe rumsfeld would be considered
March 25th, 2007 at 9:58 pmpart of that cesspool of parasites :) … thanks to his totally corrupt
past with searle, revolving doors, and using his political muscle, with
complete disregard for the people. Just big business as usual :(
Actually, Rummy has at least six to twenty-five years left. He has color in his hair and his skin is still well toned. Problem – his mind is pumping on three cylinders (out of eight). Dick and Carl are on the other side of the coin. They are palid, puffy and bald. That combo yeilds three to five years at best. GW has another 25 years to go if his Alzheimers does not do him in sooner. That would be such sweet justice when looking back on his position on stem cell research.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:02 pmyeah, that’s who it was… as soon as reagan hit office, rumsfeld
got rid of all the scientists/commissioners banning aspartame and
guess what….. appointed a totally corrupt commissioner to the FDA
which just months later went through the revolving door to monsanto
CESSPOOL….. THESE “THINGS” ARE PARASITES INFESTING SOCIETY
LIKE MAGGOTS, MITES, LEECHES, AND TICKS
oh yeah,… they sure the people all right and regardless of all the
anticorruption……. political parasites, cronyism, totally corrupt lobbyists,
all the leeches and corruption is no different INFACT probably even more
widespread ENOUGH TO MAKE ME

Are there any mainstream publications that can still be trusted to deliver objective news?
Even NPR has a slant, although it’s less than most. It’s sad when you actually have to depend on news published outside your country to learn the truth. Fortunately, living in Michigan (near Canada) has its advantages, and, of course, the Internet is invaluable.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:04 pmI wonder how many articles about Iran’s weapon capability and how evil they are and how we should invade them will be printed while he is”guest editor”. Whatever that means.

Indeed…’guest writer’ is one thing…at least his name is attached to his screeds, but ‘guest editor’ gives him several new degrees of freedom for his disingenuous machinations.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:08 pmThe firing of Scheer and hiring of Jonah Goldberg and Max Boot says it all about the precipitous decline of the LA Times under Tribune ownership. I predict that they run the paper into the ground financially and leave it in ruins.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:17 pmLib-Neo-Corp! Coming scon to a theater near you.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:21 pmWalt, your observations are noted.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:26 pmMy f-in-law is 96. Looks extremely good for his age. Feels good. Few physical ailments. But his brain is slowly turning to mush.
Rummy will probably be around a while.
Cheney should be gone already- he looks pretty bad and has all those health issues. (Only the good die young.)
W will likely fall into the category of my relative — his body will be fit, but his little pea brain will shrink to the size of a lentil.

March 25th, 2007 at 10:29 pmMeanwhile, back at the “surge”:
5 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq blasts
5 more lives, prematurely ended. 5 more families destroyed.
The House passes more funding for this war, and gives a nebulous withdrawl date 2 months before the ‘08 elections.
Bush threatens a veto. Unending war is his goal, at least during His reign. Pull out under someone else’s watch. Bush can claim victory was his.
The will of the people is meaningless to those beholden to the War Profiteers.
It’s all about Money. And Power.
But if you want true power, confront your fears. Become your breath.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:33 pmWe put him there so that the people of LA will be more informed. What better and knowledgable person could fit this bill? Rummy will do a great service for our propaganda purposes.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:35 pm“In 1990, he joined the board of ABB, a Swedish-Swiss conglomerate that had gobbled up companies in the latter 1980s, including Westinghouse energy operations, and would move aggressively to win a $200-million contract for “the design and key components” for light-water nuclear reactors in North Korea. Rumsfeld pursued this prize even while chairing a Congressional commission on missile threats that found a “clear danger” for the future from Pyongyang. In the alarming report, his otherwise fulsome résumé failed to mention that he was an ABB director.”
From a fine article by Roger Morris about Rummy that can be seen here:
http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=165346
March 25th, 2007 at 10:36 pmFrom Washington Post Sept 18, 2002:
“Rumsfeld has been chief executive of G.D. Searle & Co. and General Instrument Corp., and served on a number of corporate boards, including the Tribune Co., which owns the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune; and Kellogg Co., Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Allstate Corp.
Rumsfeld reported that he is worth between $62.1 million and $115.8 million.”
March 25th, 2007 at 10:49 pmIt’s all about Money. And Power.

3200+ dead Americans, and countless Iraqis dead, for more power than these people can handle, and more money than they can ever spend.
My condolences to all of the families.
Peace & Blessings.

March 25th, 2007 at 10:52 pmIt often isn’t widely reported when soldiers die in Iraq. I checked the web site today and saw what appears to actually be 7 in total. The “surge” is supposed to be working — they want us to believe — so the total of dead soldiers kind of takes away from that propaganda.
There is no way out of Iraq – there is no good solution. It should obvious to everyone, but I think they will reduce the number of bad reports we get from Iraq as much as is possible in order to prove their theory, and when we finally get out (during the next president’s term) and the inevitable hell that breaks out is reported, it will be all the Dems fault — because the “surge” was working, they will say. It’s all part of their plan. Because they never want to leave Iraq.
Rumsfeld was Chairman of GD Searle-drug company out of Chicago. What people forget is how Reagan was responsible for cutting funding to inspectors of just about any kind. Food inspectors particularly, got rid of almost all of them. He didn’t like them slowing down food production. Anybody notice the increase in food borne illnesses of late.
One of his biggest cuts was getting rid of epidemiologists from NIH I believe. They are the people who would study clusters of diseases. Like if big groups of people were getting cancer – say from using aspartame. All gone.
Surely this helped Rumsfeld in a big way but it was Reagan who initiated these big cut.
Now Bushwad has cut money to cancer research. At a time when huge strides could be made because of genetics and all the new drugs available that can be better targeted moron is cutting funding.
But back to Rumsfeld, is he not going to be investigated for his part in the devastation of the war. He of all people will walk and get another cush job. I think we all need to write to the paper.
March 25th, 2007 at 10:59 pmWe put him there so that the people of LA will be more informed. What better and knowledgable person could fit this bill? Rummy will do a great service for our propaganda purposes.
Comment by GOP Leadership
I’m guessing this is sarcasm as propaganda does not strengthen democracy but weakens it.
Besides Rummy speaks circuitously. Whats the point of reading such loopiness? I can see it now,“We know what we don’t know but we don’t know what we think we know.”
March 25th, 2007 at 11:04 pm-or-
“Somewhere to the East and the West, somewhat to the South and a little to the North, we know where the WMD is.”
Comment by Marie — March 25, 2007 @ 10:52 pm
I disagree. There is one good solution.
Regime change.
Followed by going to the U.N. and admitting that the previous regime screwed things up.
Followed by announcing our “time table” for withdrawl, accompanied with a request for massive U.N. peacekeeping force, which the U.S. will pay for, for a period of, say up to 15 years while Iraq rebuilds. (roughly equal to the time it took to rebuild Europe after WWII…it will be cheaper than the unending war we are paying for now.)
March 25th, 2007 at 11:05 pmlisten dude :) ….
rumsfeld as i now read has been through the revolving door
multiple times…. OH YEAH…. this breed of parasites serve
the people all right… like
amy knows john know sandra
sounds like all their serving is a direct conflict of intrest of what
the government is meant to serve you/me, the people.
the only thing these crooks is serve themselve,.. they take your
50% for service, leech out $0.99 of every dollar to give to all
their crony’s as the cesspool has overflowed to infest all so called
services we all desperately need from the government.
then the leeches come out full force by their revolving doors… what’s
left the ticks, maggots, and leeches get everything else
it’s…. it’s a bunch of hoodlum parasites, which eat up everything until
the only thing that’s left for us is DEBT!!!!!!!!!

March 25th, 2007 at 11:18 pmlisten as far as i’m concerned, ANY sector of society which i directly
engage in, i’m going to be very careful if that sector has been
politicized and if it has, i’m going to carefully discern whether that
sector that’s politicized is corrupted and if it has THEN i’m going to
be very careful regarding whether it’s infected and infested in a cesspool
of totally corrupt parasites.
Since i got duped regarding aspartame… this time have to be very careful,
thank god i’ve avoid 99% of this health care fiasco and they’ve hardly
leeched anything from me compared to the poor person choosing between
food and pharma parasites. The food industry with monsanto is TOTALLY
infected with monsanto… listen how can you expect healthy foods from
soil that is techically dead… earthworms and the soil ecology is full of
poisons and where do you think that ends up?
i have completely lost the trust from all the rah rahs vote for me, the only
think that do is break those promises and join the cesspool…. is there
even one REAL public servant or is it totally infected with corruption.
Rumsfeld in media…. GIVE ME A BREAK !!! Infact lately i haven’t seen
March 25th, 2007 at 11:20 pmvery much that serves you/me except a bunch of parasites involved in

Comment by BnF
Exactly right. We should have made the move to transfer authority to the UN immediately after the sacking of Baghdad. The fact that we did not do so is damning in and of itself. I think it would be wise for CAP to put this proposal up on the board, exactly as you have outlined it, as a formal policy recommendation. The sooner the US forces leave Iraq the better. Each day that the occupation remains in place, will only further accelerate the destruction. For those who cannot possibly imagine leaving the oil reserves behind, forget about it. It will be five to ten years before they come into play.

Donald Rumsfeld makes $5m killing on bird flu drug
March 25th, 2007 at 11:28 pmBy Geoffrey Lean and Jonathan Owen
Published: 12 March 2006
Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu. The US Defence Secretary has made more than $5m (£2.9m) in capital gains from selling shares in the biotechnology firm that discovered and developed Tamiflu, the drug being bought in massive amounts by Governments to treat a possible human pandemic of the disease.

Rumsfeld at the LA Times? Well, if anyone still wondered if the LA Times had a slant -here is your sign.
Not too long ago, I had a troll tell me that the favorite past time at the LA Times was “bashing conservatives”. He did get me to smile, that poor, asinine, hapless troll.
Apparently, in wingnutia, if an outlet is not a blatant mouth piece for the White House (a la FauxNews) then it’s a “leftist” rag.

…he and L’il Dick own property on the infamous slave plantation…
…such a “dignified/distinguished” name…
…for such distinguished gentlemen (choke)…
March 25th, 2007 at 11:33 pmFor the record, I’ve subscribed to every major newspaper over my long life — I’ve found that one can find unfiltered news off the Internet much easier instead — the last PRINT newspaper subscription I had was the NYTimes (until I canceled over a 9/11 anniversary editorial disater). I have contacted the LATimes and advised I will start up with them again if they hire Rummy (the greatest SecDef the U.S. has ever had ; )
March 25th, 2007 at 11:39 pmRumsfeld and the neocons should just go away–they have caused enough damage to the US and the world. They had their chance and America got to see first-hand what they are all about–and it ain’t about making us safer.

March 25th, 2007 at 11:54 pmPart 2: The Academy Strikes Back
disater = disaster
I used to love seeing the news reported through different regional filters across the country — at one time I was getting over a dozen print newspapers. My favorite was from New Orleans, the Times-Picayune — always had the best recipes / coupon section too — hopefully the LA Times brings Rumsfeld on board (I can always cancel in protest when they eventually fire him — you know the liberals will work every second of the day to undermine his articles — especially once Geffin buys it ; )
March 25th, 2007 at 11:56 pmThe Honolulu Star-Bulletin was always interesting, but definitely leaned Democratic — and even though I am registered Independent, I did subscribe to The New York Post (did you lukers know that paper is the 13th-oldest newspaper published in the United States AND the oldest to have been published continually as a daily?). Too bad circulation numbers are down for all the major papers.

I can read stuff like Justin Raimondo (Anti-war) but the ones like Michael Savage (blow you up crowd) are just, to me, sudo cons. I’m sure the amount of corruption and lack of fiscal responsibility is the reason they are bailing out from the Republican party.

But I don’t think they’re really bailing — I think they’re just taking a different name until the shitstorm is over.
March 26th, 2007 at 1:11 amI also like Ron Paul and Paul Craig Roberts articles.

Zooey, my ears can only hear what my eyes can see.
And, Jake, if you’re still around, please check to make sure I’m on that list. I’d really hate to miss a chance like that.
Goodnite!!!

March 26th, 2007 at 2:22 amISRAEL DEMANDS US NUCLEAR ATTACK ON IRAN –
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS COMPLY
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_1888.shtml
Mar 26, 2007, 01:02
WASHINGTON DC, — The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.†Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for 12 hours, according to Uglanov, from 4 am until 4 pm local time. Friday is the sabbath in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a March 21 interview: “I have no doubt that there will be an operation, or more precisely a violent action against Iran.â€
Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military appropriations bill that would have demanded that Bush come to Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing group representing the Israeli extreme right, and from Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.
March 26th, 2007 at 5:28 am“There are known knowns and known unknowns and…”
This is really going to mess up the cartoon section.
March 26th, 2007 at 7:17 amThe very idea that a few of the pennies to buy a paper would go to this evil arrogant man would give me cause to do without it.
It is shameful to wish misfortune to befall another human being, but this person was responsible for inflicting so much agony on so many it’s hard to think otherwise.
And that goes double for the criminals he worked for.
Next, we’ll be hearing about ex-AG Alberto Gonzalez being a legal correspondent for CNN during the war crimes trials.
(By the way: where the hell is the Hague, and why aren’t they doing something Democrats refuse to do: putting these sonsofbitches on trial? They could at least keep them from traveling outside the US with the potential of being arrested like Pinochet or Kissinger.)

US troops in Iraq want out
Mar 19
For US troops from 9th Cavalry Regiment bumping around the dangerous streets of Baghdad in Humvees after dark on Monday, news that their deployment in Iraq could be extended fell like a hammer blow.
Their commanders had cautioned that their second one-year tour due to end in October could be prolonged while US President George W. Bush later warned troops it was too soon to “pack up and go home.”
The expletives during the four-hour night patrol turned the air in the Humvee, already thick with cigarette smoke, a dark shade of blue.
“We just want to get out of here as soon as possible,” said one vehicle commander in one of his few printable comments.
March 26th, 2007 at 8:19 amWhat a perfect emblem for how corrupt and insane the media and government have become.
They bilked the world into war, committed numerous war crimes during this war, lost their own bloody war, are political zombies because of their war…and Rumsy gets a cool gig back in Bizarro World. The word “disgraced,” like many words, gas no meaning here. I keep pinching myself, but it just doesn’t help. I wish he would wear a hat–like The Mad Hatter’s hat.
March 26th, 2007 at 8:57 amit’s this, or his own talk show…
March 26th, 2007 at 9:03 amMaybe they can get Tom Delay for the metro-beat too.

And Mark Foley as the social page editor….?
March 26th, 2007 at 10:00 amPlunger/Ace, the two sources cited in this article are both Russian news releases. From the same source.
March 26th, 2007 at 10:01 amGot any other anything? Not disbelieving, just wonderin about some sort of corroboration from anywhere else?
We know the Pentagon has plans, but another source, any other source would help the cred on this one.
Pax.
A few weeks ago, there was a Frontline special on the media. The L.A. Times publisher, Rummy’s best friend, had ordered the previous editor to lay off a few more reporters and he refused. He even publicly voiced opposition to it during a conference with other newspaper editors in New Orleans.
Less than a month later, that editor was fired. A lot of the reporters and newstaff were even sad to see him go. One of the last shots of the special showed the publisher, Mr. Hiller, attending the ceremony in which his paper got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. WOW! A STAR IN THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME. Sure, and the Chimperor Boy King God will probably get a Purple Heart even though he was too chicken to serve in combat.
If I were working at theTimes, I’d jet out of there out conduct a labor walkout until Rummy and his bff resign. Right now, the MSM still hasn’t learned anything from us bloggers and they are still going down the craphole.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:24 amJIMBO:
Rumsfeld is just coming in as a guest editor — the last guest editor was nixed for the appearance of impropriety — you guys are scared of him like Edwards is of Fox News, are you?

Comment by Jake
Why would anyone be scared of a guy wiedling a falafel or an Ol man that talks in circles? Ever hear the phrase turn a deaf ear? Besides thatm Edwards is free to speak to whom he wishes. Calling him scared is just third grade dumb, like Ann, the laughable ‘intellectual’, calling him a ‘faggot’
Lmao @ FECKS SNOOZE, lmao, what are they gonna do call him a poopy head? Your like a man child Jake, are you ever gonna use your own mind and stop parroting the FOX pundits?
March 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pmFor the record, Coulter did not call Edwards a “faggot” and if anyone (NOT on the “Ignore List”) has a question about that too, let me know.
March 26th, 2007 at 1:28 pmI would also urge any lurkers out there to subscribe to the LATimes — I just heard back from their reader rep that Don Rumsfeld has indeed been invited to be a guest editor (although they have not yet heard back from him). Good enough for me (until I have to cancel in protest over the next idiotic thing they do ; )
