For six years[6] as a financial analyst for Salon.com,[7] Leonard wrote a blog, How the World Works, covering topics such as speculation in the car market,[8] the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act,[9] and immigration reform.[10]

Currently he is the writer of the popular newsletter titled, "The Cleaver and the Butterfly".[11]
