Defending Nick Hogan
    Yesterday, 
  I started an item about Bill Gates by saying, "Unless you were living in 
  a bio-dome or were in a Nick Hogan-induced coma, you must have heard that Bill 
  Gates retired last week."
Redmond Report reader Chris took offense and had this to say: 
  "Bad taste, Mr. Barney. I could see that coming from a young staff 
    writer, but not from an editor in chief."
I wrote Chris back to point out that Nick Hogan isn't worth our admiration. 
  Here's that message:
  "Chris,
  Take a look at these two links: 1 
    and 2. 
    Nick Hogan essentially killed his friend, then he and his dad bad-mouthed 
    the victim and plotted to make money from the accident.
   Hulk Hogan showed disrespect to the court by not removing his do-rag 
    even when testifying. Nick Hogan is a dirt bag." 
Agree? Disagree? Sound off by writing me at [email protected].
