I'm the editor of Macworld and an old college pal of Red Moderator Ben. I am a lapsed Republican who is now officially a "decline to state." I'd like to think that my views have remained more consistent, while the Republican party has continued to drift to the right, leaving me in an uncomfortable position in between the two major parties. I'm a social liberal and a fiscal conservative, and sadly that seems to make me a delicious shade of purple.
