Awesome fine. I would have missed this. How are you doing with SL? I thought about doing a campaign on there with a friend of mine. Hope all is well.

I wrote about the testimony for SLNN.COM.
I didn't cover the non profit side very much, however.
On the other hand I think I touched on the issues a lot more than Dana Milbank did in the Washington Post, and I wrote this comment about the WaPo coverage.
