I've seen his garbage posted in DU collections a few times and I've always complained.

EDIT TO ADD: What the hell? If I'm reading the Rawstory article correctly, the editor didn't see this before it was published? ("Once it's on the Web we can't take it back..." Varvel can just turn in whatever he wants and it gets published? Shit, I worked at a newspaper that had a PULITZER winner and his stuff **always** had to be vetted by the editorial page editor, and there were times his stuff didn't run for various reasons. But Varvel is hands-off?
Again -- the Star sucks.
