For ease, I can discuss here regarding the edit. What's up? ☎ Chickie 12:56, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for the delay. Adam and I were wanting to edit and re-word his personal section to read like this:
He has been a registered voter with the Democratic Party since 1980,[3] but rejects party loyalty. He acknowledges reexamining his views after reading, among many other things, David Horowitz's book Radical Son and Thomas Sowell's A Conflict of Visions.[4] Politically, he considers himself a "Constitutional Americanist," i.e., a "small-government, conservative libertarian".[5] He has contributed blogs to the Huffington Post[6] and Big Hollywood.[7] As a hobby, he also collects and posts links to varying viewpoints on his Twitter feed.[8][9]
I just didn't want to be rude and make the change without talking to you about it and letting you know why I was doing it.

- Is it only that paragraph that's being edited and not the whole section? You mentioned the removal of the family information in one edit so I'm unsure. The non-political parts of his personal life could use some beefing up, as could his whole career section. He's got a pretty good AV Club article that could be used as a reference.[1] When it comes to the two additions though, "rejects party loyalty" and referencing Sowell's book should be cited. If you communicate with him, he could probably tweet those things (if current references do not exist) and that would suffice. You may also want to check out Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for keeping a neutral point of view toward the article while still having a relationship with Adam. ☎ Chickie 05:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
