re: #42 Mich-again

OK well I still have the whole email string saved. Funny, the next day the story blows up in the NYT so I sent her a link to the story with a note hey there, just an FYI, don’t know if you saw this story or not yet..

heartland.org

Diane Carol Bast is The Heartland Institute’s executive editor. She is responsible for Heartland’s serial publications…Bast is also Heartland’s bookkeeper, managing the organization’s $7.2 million budget, working with Heartland’s outside accountant on the annual audit, and helping to draft the organization’s annual budget. She is also Heartland’s chief compliance officer.
…
Prior to joining The Heartland Institute in February 1987, Bast was coeditor of the bimonthly magazine Nomos. She received her Bachelor’s of Science degree in criminal justice and constitutional law from the University of Wisconsin.

Such “lofty” credentials, and that miserable missive (which sounds more like some random wingnut comment on a newspaper site) was the best she could do?
