David H. Rothman is a columnist for The Georgetown Dish (GeorgetownDish.com). He is author of The Solomon Scandals (Twilight Times Books), a 2009 novel featuring a real estate crook with a knack for buying up journalists and politicians. "My favorite political fantasy is the instant removal of both Trump and Pence from office, followed by serious jail time. Nancy Pelosi comes with flaws galore, but I love the karma of a female politician replacing a rapist orangutan." Other background: --Ex-poverty beat reporter and feature writer for the Lorain (Ohio) Journal. --Freelance opinion pieces for the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun and others. --The Silicon Jungle computer history and guide (Ballantine) and other books. --Founder-Editor-Publisher, TeleRead ebook news and opinion site (teleread.org), the oldest of its kind on the Web. Noncommercial. --Former editor of High Technology Export & Import magazine (no longer around). --Co-founder, LibraryEndowment.org. The savage inequalities of the library world are actually even worse than those of public schools. We need not only the proposed endowment but also much more generous tax support of libraries. Also, stakeholders outside the usual foundation elite should help govern the endowment. --Judge in recent RFK Journalism Awards competitions. --University of North Carolina.
