Unimpeachably awesome

Edition four of the stupendous column is up.

Fun fact: Originally, the piece was "What Kind of Game Would Unicorns, John McCain, Flowers or Honeybees Play?"—an idea that came from reading about Jonathon Keats making films for flowers, and had a different approach that I soon found I was incapable of pulling off.

Did the charm of Putin and PR folk woo over Vanity Fair too?

That's the question I am asking myself after noticing he topped their top 100 list, despite not previously charting on it.

Also, in case you are wondering where the "too" in the title comes from, the origin is this Sourcewatch post (also found directly below).

Ketchum, the PR firm involved in the Armstrong Williams "pundit payola" scandal, helped Vladimir Putin become Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2007. The firm also conducted "dozens of media briefings in Moscow, New York and Washington, D.C. for both the Russian Federation and its natural gas monopoly Gazprom," reports O'Dwyer's. Ketchum was paid $845,000 for two months of work for the Russian Federation in early 2007, around the G8 Summit and visits to Moscow by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Ketchum has a $250,000 per month contract with Gazprom; the gas company also pays the Gavin Anderson firm $100,000 per month. In 2007, Ketchum's Gazprom work included "several press and think tank briefings," and organizing "meetings as executives visited the U.S. in late November and early December."

I have contacted Ketchum about the story with the slight delusion that I will get a satisfactory reply.
