There's not much to say here; I can only present what I've learned (thanks SPD!).
Actor (think "Law and Order" or "The Hunt for Red October") Fred Thompson, a one-time Republican Presidential hopeful, started a website back in the fall, after announcing on Jay Leno [2] his interest in running for president. The website imwithfred.com [3] has since been bought by an online Italian gaming business. Is this a joke? You'll have to decide for yourself.
The political bloggers are all over it--see wonkette. com [4]. It makes me think it might be about time we start our own online Italian American-political blog spot, say, maybe...wopette.com.
