Have a great summer, Charles!
Sounds like you'll be having a wonderful summer! Enjoy, and be safe! You'll be missed.

Hmmmm. First he states his only income is from advertising/subscriptions, freelance writing and royalties. Later he claims to be in 'someone's employ'.
I don't think so. He's denying the whole thing. He's not saying "even though I am in someone's employ..." He's restating the charge: "I'm in someone's employ and that colors what I write."

Well, rats! I'm gonna miss the hell out of your DUFU posts for the next couple months. Have a great time and stay safe!
I can see your point, but it can be taken either way. Either his reply meant "I'm 'just heading off people who insist I'm compromised because I'm in someone's employ'[by showing all my income comes from advertising/subscriptions, freelance writing and royalties]" or he's contradicting himself and did not disclose all the source types of his income.
I took it the second way. And frankly, I still don't believe he's explained all his sources of income. It's just too convenient that Jerome Armstrong doesn't fall into all the categories he earlier mentioned; politicians, organizations, groups, etc.
Hey Charles,
Have a great time. I would be interested in your impressions of Sweden. God be with you and yours.

For a professional writer, he sure wasn't clear. That's for sure.

He falls into the "directly or indirectly" part of the statement. Kos's denial of the charge is pretty straight forward. He's not writing "for hire" and he's not getting anything "directly or indirectly" from anyone.

Hey, I GREW UP in the city of Chicago! Currently in exile in St. Louis.
It sounds like a busy summer schedule in store for you if you have pastoral duties as well as the travel. Enjoy the vacations to the max, I'm sure you know the old saw about what makes Jack a dull boy.
(A vacation in Philly?? I recommend switching your schedule around so as to have the speaking engagement in Philly and the vacation in Colorado Springs)
Now I'm OUTTA HERE!
Have a nice summer.
Of course he does. But that doesn't belie some other quid pro quo from existing. He writes strictly of "source of 'revenue'". Such a phrase can be exclusory of other forms of compensation.
Perhaps I was off the mark when concentrating on the idea of paid compensation. I don't know. I only know that there is something fishy about his endorsements, changes in endorsements, acceptance of paid parties given by political office seekers, and the 'consulting' work of his buddy/co-author.
As long as he doesn't go to Geno's and try to order a cheesesteak in Swedish (or Greek or Latin or Hebrew). LOL
SD
I agree there's something fishy. I just don't think there's any attempt to be weasally in his denials at the moment. They are categorical denials.

Have a wonderful summer with your family. You will be missed around here. Two months of ant shake-ups without you, bummer!
Take care.
No doubt about that. I'm just not looking at it properly. Thanks for the heads up.
