John Grooms, Creative Loafing
When it comes to telling it like it is, you need John Grooms. He may step on conservative toes, but as soon as youre ready to call him a liberal hack, he turns around and proves that hes just a free thinker who doesnt give anyone a pass. Grooms tackles topics that others ignore and pisses a lot of people off doing it. You couldnt ask for more. His opinions are based in fact, and his style of writing is crisp and funny. At the end of a Grooms column, youre always left thinking. And isnt that the purpose of reading?
