Michael Rowe Blogging for Huffington

2009-04-30T16:39:40Z

This month Canadian author and journalist Michael Rowe, etherweave client (and dear friend), began writing for the Huffington Post. His most recent column, "What an Ogress You are, Congresswoman Foxx", appeared today, in which Rowe mercilessly excoriates one of the more extreme representatives in the United States Congress (a Republican from North Carolina) for her bigoted speech on the House floor in opposition to new hate crimes legislation. Bravo, Michael! Other recent entries offer perspectives on Cuba (Canada has a normal relationship with that country), as well as the recent defection of Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) to the Democratic Party.
