I was reading an article on Palin at the Alaska Dispatch that was mostly standard fare. However, what really stood out to me was the author biography at the bottom of the article. You know, here the editors explain who the person who wrote the preceding piece is.

It read,

Craig Medred has been a reporter in Alaska for more than 30 years. He has in that time witnessed all sorts of craziness. He long ago gave up believing there were sensible explanations for all human behavior.

I have to say, that's as good as any biography I've seen.
