A NEW CHAPTER…
Print. May 24th, 2011As of May 2011, I have taken a staff job with The Hill, the political newspaper in Washington, D.C.

The website was initially launched as [...]
End of Year Update
Print. December 31st, 2010The last day of 2010 seems like a good time to update the site.
For Salon, I spoke to Ron Paul about his thoughts on making a 2012 presidential election bid. If Paul does not run, Gary Johnson may well emerge as the libertarian standard-bearer. The piece also includes Johnson’s comments.

New Update: Salon, New Republic, Irish Times
Print. August 23rd, 2010It’s time for another update of assorted articles from recent months.
Judging from the reaction it received on Salon’s website, I suspect this profile of former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson may be the most-read article I’ve written in quite a while. Although the profile appeared back in May, The Atlantic’s Conor Friedersdorf gave his own [...]

New Year, New Update
Print. January 7th, 2010I updated the website for the first time in a while today, with a selection of articles from the last months of 2009. It is impossible within the site’s current framework to post everything I write, so, under the “Most Recent” heading on the Print page, I have posted a general grab-bag, including: an Irish [...]
