After the Fix, Graham moved back to Washington, D.C., to work at The Washington Free Beacon covering media, politics, and religious liberty. Originally from New York, Graham spends most of his free time running, hiking, or arguing about what the best game in baseball history is. (It's Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.) He always welcomes any movie, book, or D.C. coffee shop recommendations.
