Online news would seem to be well-targeted at opinion leaders, but since the ads can’t be skipped-through, OTD wonders about the potential for backlash. e.politics wonders if Perry feels mystery writer and former Texas Jewboys frontman Kinky Friedman breathing down his neck. Freak power in my homeland, the Lone Star State?
