Mark Williams is an opinion journalist. He is based in Sacramento, California. Williams is a regular contributor to Fox News Channel, MSNBC and Court TV and writes a newspaper column for the new Sacramento Union newspaper. Additionally he has filled in for radio talk hosts on a number of radio outlets.
He coined the term "Hildebeast" and uses it on TV, in print and on the radio to refer to Hillary Clinton. While extremely supportive of the invasion of Iraq (and an advocate of invading Iran while suggesting that Mecca also be "high on our list"), and out in front of the movement to deport illegal aliens, he also supports same sex marriage, stating that a true conservative believes that the government should leave people's bedrooms alone. He is very active in raising funds for pet shelters and adoption efforts. His dog, "Casey the pound dog" often appears when he shows up to protest Arnold Schwarzenegger (for whom he coined the term "Schwarzenkennedy"). Casey has also appeared on TV as a "spokesdog" for animal adoptions.
Williams led listeners on a lobbying trip to Capitol Hill in a drive to support immigration reform. In 2005 he and his wife (Holly) traveled to Iraq and broadcast several shows from various locations around Baghdad.
In June 2007 Williams formed MarkTalk LLC, an Internet-based, on-demand content delivery project anchored by his own daily Podcast and incorporating Podcasts, Web streams and Internet Radio from other professional journalists; interactive audio, video and text commentary and other features that his site says are "under construction".
On November 26, 2007, Williams will begin hosting a local weekday afternoon talk show on talk radio station WROW in the Albany, New York market. Williams was once a host on competitor WGY. He will continue his Internet ventures. http://www.marktalk.com/blog/2007/11/21/marktalk-goes-bi-coastal/
