Protein Wisdom (blog)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protein Wisdom is a conservative and libertarian weblog created by Jeff Goldstein. It is a member of Pajamas Media. As of April 2007 the site has had more than seven million hits. It was ranked the 68th biggest political blog in 2006 by The Truth Laid Bear.

Mr. Goldstein is a writer living in Colorado. Goldstein got his Bachelor's from Towson University (MD), where he received a Dean of Liberal Arts scholarship and graduated with both general and departmental honors (with an emphasis on the fiction of Flannery O'Connor); he did his graduate work at Johns Hopkins and the University of Denver, and spent two summers at The School of Criticism and Theory, Cornell University, where he studied under Walter Benn Michaels and Catherine Gallagher.

Mr. Goldstein also devised and co-chaired an international conference on the intersection between creative writing and theory that has since become a signature event of the University of Denver English Department (most recently held in Oct 2005).

Protein Wisdom suffered a DoS attack that was attributed to University of Arizona adjunct professorDeborah Frisch. Ms. Frish was also alleged to have engaged in blogstalking of Mr. Goldstein and his family.
