I would like to respond to the mistatements, miscast aspersions, and omissions in the article linked below but I am swamped at work and don't have the time. All I can say is I am sorry Erik Mink . . . still has a job.

I remember Erik Mink when he was lead propagandist for the pinko rag Riverfront Times - the paper that wouldn't have any circulation at all if college students didn't need the free paper to serve as coasters for their beer bottles.
