Frankly, the CNN response has a decidedly "don't fuck with us; we have the goods" tone to it. It may be inadvertent; ASCII is not the most expressive medium, Dickens and Conrad notwithstanding. Were it up to me, I probably would have limited it to "CNN is not publishing HAS’ name because he is a private citizen. Citizens, please remember that your mom can see everything you post."

We should totally have a WHM. The main activity would be "Jaywalking"-style interviews with RWNJs. Typical questions: "In what country is Denmark located?" and "When was George Washington impeached?"

Ans: 1492, and "quantum entanglement."
