re: #68 Gus 802

What’s more ridiculous is that people will hear that song and respond by saying, “what wrong with that?” Human Events being a sponsor of CPAC and also the seller of their mailing list to the GOP.

Sure enough the most popular article at Human Events is a threesome of sorts. Written by Pat Buchanan and regarding or applauding the auditing of the Fed as promoted by Ron Paul.

I learned some interesting facts about their editor this morning:

Jed Babbin is a former United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense who served during the first Bush administration in the United States, and is the author of the political book Inside the Asylum as well as Showdown and In the Words of Our Enemies.

He is a political commentator and contributing editor to The American Spectator, and a contributor to National Review Online. Mr. Babbin is also a frequent guest host on Talk Radio WMET in Washington, D.C. He is an online editor of Human Events.

He guest-hosted The Rush Limbaugh Program on July 17, 2008. He guest-hosted the Mark Levin Show on August 10, 2009.

I also saw at Snopes that Babbin is the source of the “deer hunting without an accordion” quotation. Maybe it should be removed from the rotating titles (or am I becoming oversensitive?)
