re: #39 suchislife

Is Weigel the guy you mentioned some days ago, who used snowpocalypse on twitter?

yep. He also was one of the first on the left AFAIK to pay attention to the fracturing of the right-wing blogosphere. Did a really nice piece on Charles back in April of 2008 or 2007 about the heat he was taking for calling out the rightwing blogosphere’s alliance with fascist groups, esp in Europe.

I’m a fan of Weigel for many reasons (he did great work covering NY-23 as well IIRC) and like the Washington Independent in general — they have spencer ackerman writing for them too, and someone else I like— Daphne Evers or something like that? She’s covered a lot of civil liberties/Gitmo info I think.
