A press release came over the transom Friday afternoon from Bulletin columnist Chris Freind.
You might remember Freind from his column about what a great columnist he is last month. You might also be asking: Why did you get a press release from a columnist for a local paper? (Well, technically, a few people sent it to me, but still.)
Why, sort of the same idea as with Freind’s column: He’s the only American columnist who isn’t a spineless wimp or permanently attached to either George Bush’s or Barack Obama’s jock.

Subject: Philadelphia’s “Freindly Fire”takes aim at hypocrisy of Bruce Gordon, Sharpton and Jackson
Dear Editor:
I author a twice-weekly commentary column for the Philadelphia Bulletin, branded “Freindly Fire” (a play on my last name). My national reader response rate is extremely high because of my “take no prisoners” style and the fact that I tackle issues with rare candor and a unique critical eye.
Accordingly, attached please find my latest column, scheduled to appear in The Bulletin’s Weekend print and online editions. It chastises the outright racial hypocrisy of CBS Director (and former NAACP head) Bruce Gordon, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, especially poignant given that all charges were dropped against the Duke University lacrosse players.
Please feel free to run the column or contact me for further comment or an interview. I am available around the clock.
I will also be issuing an explosive challenge to all three men early next week.
A headshot is available.
Best Regards,
Christopher W. Freind
Wow! I didn’t know of any other person who pointed out Al Shapton et al might not exactly be saints themselves!
This column must be a masterpiece. Let’s go check it out the first sentence on the Bulletin’s website!
America may well be closer to an all-out race war than it has been in 40 years.
Well, that’s it for me, folks. Full email — featuring a Chris Freind bio (!) — after the jump.
