What is Flypmedia and who is Alan Stoga?
(buying ads on left sidebar)

Very little online, but what I have found out is:

* Stoga worked for Kissinger Associates (Henry Kissinger's consulting firm)
* Stoga's advice to the next POTUS includes relabeling the US invasion of Iraq as part of a "global counterinsurgency campaign".
* Flypmedia gives high profile to opinions like:
"You may not have an interest in these wars, but these wars have an interest in you. These wars matter...the United States can win them".
"Alaska's Bridge to Nowhere has become the poster child for runaway government spending".
"What we have learned these past few weeks is that politicians don't have all the answers". (wtmusic - or maybe that Republican politicians don't have any).
"The next president has a wonderful opportnity to link together the wars that we are fighting with the brutal attacks of 9/11".

If I had to make a snap judgement (why thank you..I'd be happy to) I'd say Alan sounds like a moderate Republican who is trying to keep the GOP agenda from flatlining under an Obama administration. How? by using a slick online mag as a PR ploy, with financing coming from...?

1. "The next president has a wonderful opportunity to link together"
Sounds like a loon to me.
Working for Kissinger is not a selling point in my judgment.

2. The sophistication of the art and design
and buying DU ad space gives me the same willies I get when I see Exxon/Mobil ads in the New York Times.

Frustrating that it's impossible to cut/paste text, and you can't turn off the goddamn sound... :grr:
