Question for Bay State Du'ers

[Ken Burch]

Any of you folks hear of a guy called Michael Richardson and a blog he does called the "Boston Progressive Examiner"? I'm not sure what to make of it, or whether he's left wing or hard right. The guy had an article recently about, of all things, "Communist" infiltration of the Democratic Party.

My Spidey Sense tells me this guy may think of himself as the David Horowitz of New England. Is that right?

3. That examiner.com is a new site that was recently looking for writers

I remember seeing their ad on Craig's List while looking for a job. I'm not sure just yet how much credence to give that site. I was almost going to apply to write there but part of the reason I didn't was because I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm not certain, but I don't think they pay and people can apply as an expert in (insert topic here)--don't know it that means he's actually an expert,not do I know if they just take the person's clain of expertise at face value and believe them (after they pass their criminal check). As fir the "communist infiltration" post, I'm not sure what to think of that.
