Editor's Letter
"It sucks that I got hit by a car, but it's led to such an outpouring of emotion, I can't even dwell on it."
Kicking around his room in a wheelchair, wearing a neck brace, a
body brace and what looks like a hockey helmet, Hickey, who was left for dead after a
hit-and-run accident, is making a miraculous recovery.Loose Canon
With the Internet expanding, with the good stuff it's brought (like
Wikipedia) has come an explosion of disinformation. It seems that
bullshit and lies, as we learned from Fox and the Bushites, is now an
acceptable norm.
