Coleman Fallout Continues

From Australia, reports of a retired Minneapolis journalist (credentialed, mind you), abandoning the Star Tribune for blogs. Excerpt:

We live in Minneapolis, and the Strib is our paper. [My father] doesn't bother with it. He has been retired for over a decade and almost all he reads now are blogs. He loves them. He is now addicted to Powerline, and Lileks, and Hewitt, among others. He is a great admirer or the Northern Alliance.

Northern Alliance addiction. The sure fire cure for Nick Coleman Fatigue.

Yesterday, during the third hour of the Northern Alliance Radio Network we held a debate with Nick Coleman on his allegations. And in the grand tradition of Star Tribune credentialed journalists, he refused to show up. Or even acknowledge our many invitations. Perhaps he was out chasing tornadoes. Or maybe locked in a fallout shelter, with a trembling Jim Boyd, hoping to ride out the storm.

We of course held the debate without him. Check out the Northern Alliance web stream at right for the replay of all the gory details (which will be continuously recycling all week long).
