Who is $.$. Halliburton?

We at The People's Cube make every effort to maintain the image of an unbiased mainstream media outlet. Nevertheless we are being spattered with a lying demagogic red-baiting Big Joe McCarthy-like campaign of persiflage and downright ontological terrorism denouncing us in a kangaroo court manner that our timely news coverage and insightful opinion pieces are skewed toward the left hand side of every debate.

To answer these perverse charges we followed the example of The New York Times that keeps at least one paid conservative columnist to shield itself from the accusations of bias. In that The Times follows the example of Joseph Stalin who shielded himself from accusations of anti-Semitism by keeping one vodka-drinking Jew in the Politburo.

Please welcome to our pages $.$. Halliburton, a dark-spirited reactionary neo-conservative with a shady pharmaceutical past, tarnished by a personal friendship with Rush Limbaugh himself. Though his Neanderthal opinions may be a direct opposite from ours, Mr. Halliburton is a proud addition to our editorial staff, a symbol of The People Cube's commitment to intellectual diversity.
