Article is a few days old, but a good one that I couldn't find posted.

“Michelle Malkin, 38,”

They wrote that not once, but twice in this article. Is her age so important to them?

But speaking of her age, I first read her when she was a young whipper-snapper, writing a column in the Sunday NY Times,quite a few years ago, back when I would even buy that fishwrap.

I knew she was the goods back then, when she would write about social observations and trends, and not politics per se.

As Sean would say, Malkin is a “great American.”

Actually I included the header to the article which was under her photo. My fault not theirs.

Michelle Malkin, 38, established her combative writing style...

As opposed to, say, William Ayers, who established his combative style with bombings and large-scale riots.

Rules, rules, rules!

[Canedawg]

That’s fine, but I still found it a bit unusual to mention her age. (I thought so the first time i read it, but maybe that’s because it was also the first sentence of what you posted.)

[Fintan]

Bless you.

[AuntB]

Thank you! I refuse to learn to post pictures on FR. I get in enough trouble with just words. :<)

Back in '98 Michelle was the token conservative on the Seattle Times editorial board. At the first meeting of the Puget Sound FReeper Chapter in June 1998 at Ivar's Acres of Clams, Michelle showed up with her husband, explained she was a FReeper, and covered our meeting.

The result was a Times article about us in which she mentioned me quite prominently. I still owe her because she made me sound so much more intelligent than I really am.

And, yes, she is just as gorgeous in person.

party pooper.

[AuntB]

Yep! LOL...That’s what I’m often told.

You double posted, but at least it was something worth being said twice.

[Mariner]

I was at the follow-on meeting Michelle attended in a private home.

I'm thinking I remember your "Publius" name...when you were writing a great deal of individual work here on FR.

I remember you as a contributor and quite intelligent as well.

[Mariner]

In fact, you were at that home as well...BBQ...and when I asked about your name, you mentioned something about the founding writers...and I THINK one of the anonymous anti-Federalists?

Well, shucks, gosh and golly. (blush blush)

I was a star at FR a decade ago, and occasionally I write something of note. But some of my best work disappeared as the FR archives shrank over the years. I ran a Google search, reclaimed what I could and stashed it on my hard drive.

Today I'm running the FReeper Book Club on Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged with the able assistance of my FRiend Billthedrill, who is still an honorary member of the Puget Sound FReeper Chapter even though he left for Idaho. If you want to join us, just use the keyword "freeperbookclub" in your search.

Not anti-Federalist. Publius was the pen name that James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay used to write the Federalist Papers.
