AN ARMY OF DONS: Don Williams was a regular columnist in my local paper, the Knoxville News-Sentinel. He left the paper over creative differences, and has now started writing for Randy “SKBubba” Neal’s local news/opinion site KnoxViews. Don and I disagree rather sharply on the war, etc., but he’s a good guy — plus, as is common with these “sharp political divisions,” we actually agree on lots more stuff than we disagree on, really — and I’m helping him get set up with blogging, too. What’s interesting is that he will probably wind up reaching more people this way than via the News-Sentinel’s oped page. And given their niggardly payments to outside columnists, he may even make more money.
