#1 I suspected he was Filipino. And I'm quite proud to hail from the same place he is from. The country can produce something better than dirty politicians.

#2 I thought he was Filipino as well - he dropped plenty of hints to that effect over the last few years.

So he's not a diplomat or spy, I actually think it's better that he's not - detailed disussions of complex topics from a normal guy - hope for us all!

#4 I don't see how this is a problem. The guy is simply connecting the dots based on publicly available information, just like every other person is doing.

#10 Well, this really blows my earlier theory out of the water... I had thought for a long while that Wretchard was a Filipino-American I knew in grade/high school and who had later lived in Boston, or perhaps one of his relatives. But I later got in touch with him again and found out that neither he nor any of his sibs had wound up in Ozstralia...

#11 He could be Louie the grease monkey down at the Sunoco on 5th Street for all I care -- the guy's smart, and he knows how to write.

#13 What a shock. I'll bet Mr. Fernandez rode the Red Line too while attending Harvard.

Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, hailed from Belmont, MA. It is a lovely place from which to attend any Harvard School. It is normal, and almost unaware of Cambridge.
