My debut as a source

A Washington-based presidential campaign writer says that he was “friended” — when one Facebook user asks another if he or she can link the two profiles — by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.).

“I’ve never met Ms. Slaughter, so I was pretty baffled when she friended me,” the campaign writer says, adding that he’s not from Slaughter’s district. He decided it best to decline the request.
