Number in Sunday's profile of David Lat, the blogger who takes over* at Wonkette next week: 3,147 *Along with "co-editor" Alex Pareene, who needs a new publicist.
I'm a reporter for Radar Magazine. Before that I covered television for the Chicago Tribune. I used to "teach" magazine writing at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. I make feedback noises in a band called Avocet, and I have an intermittent country-rock band called Cooksie with my brother Matt. This is a reference tone (1000 Hz, -20 dB). Photo by Jim Newberry.
