"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Update...

...to my post about the athletic director at Eastern Illinois University:



'Eastern Illinois University Athletics Director Rich McDuffie was placed on administrative leave Monday, according to an e-mail sent by EIU President William Perry.

In the e-mail, Perry said, “This afternoon at 4 p.m., I relieved Dr. Rich McDuffie of his duties as Director of Athletics, effective immediately.”'


As my correspondent from EIU puts it in his/her latest email: "Someone here has done the right thing."
