"After the purge of writers at the new ADN I get nervous."  -- I would too, if I were you.  If I were a Leftist, I too would get nervous about the vast majority of the already-Leftist Press being downsized to make room for differing and diverse viewpoints. BTW-- that feeling you are getting is called "Cognitive Dissonance," and it's what happens when someone articulates a viewpoint that contradicts previously-held beliefs.  Don't worry, though: side effects include broader perspectives on life.  Shannyn could also do with a dose of it.
