Oh, and Jon Hunter was doing so well...
MDL missed a chance to boost its readership with some profound social critique today: it rejected a letter to the editor from the other blogger in the house, Prairie Roots. Our man Hunter says his paper will publish "criticism of public officials and government agencies, but not of individuals or businesses."
Wow -- must be a new policy. MDL published some pretty harsh letters directed at yours truly once upon a time. Guess you'll have to go straight to the source to hear honest criticism of misogyny, poor taste, and bad business sense.
Now here's a question: if that's now the policy, does that mean in next year's election, Mr. Hunter will publish letters criticizing Representative Russell Olson and his fellow incumbents but only accept praise of the challengers? Yahoo! Sounds like a nice leveling of the playing field for working-class newcomers to politics who don't have donors to raise $32,000 for a simple legislative campaign. Thanks, Jon! Fellow Dems, if you don't have the dollars, then get your pens and keyboards ready! The pages of the Madison Daily Leader await!
