We just spoke with Greg Palast, whose Armed Madhouse paperback (or "mysterious 'yellow book,'" as lazy Washington Post blogger, Emil Steiner "reported" it), was being waved and alluded to by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer just prior to his being Tasered by UF cops earlier this week.

"Did you notice he never let the book touch the ground?" an impressed Palast wryly noted.

5. A publicity stunt n/t

6. Oh yes. By a very publicity-conscious guy.

I have like Greg Palast's investigative reporting in the past, but he sure does thrust himself into the story on occasion. I'm not sure this is the best move for him in terms of credibility/integrity. The kid's a loose cannon.
