Bobby from the sadly defunct (although via its comments section, finding a new role as a paradise for discount Viagra salesmen) PolitX has a fairly new blog called Blast!. Worth a read.
Other interesting new-ish people for you to click on the right hand side of the blog are Damian Counsell, whose Pootergeek blog has a rubbish name, and who looks like Dr Evil, but is well worth reading, and grumpy right-wing American John Cole. Based on the well-known principle of always balancing one’s Coles, I’ve also added a link to Famous Middle East Expert (TM) Juan Cole. Finally, with a horrible template, a name-pun almost as bad as Ed Thomas’s, and a lot of WoT extremism (with which I disagree, but which is well-expressed and very un-gung-ho), comes Eric the Unread.
I’d also like to pelt Matt Yglesias with rotten tomatoes for disabling his comments section. And for being younger than me, more respected as a writer, and having a better job. I bet I can outdrink him, though.
Finally, it seems one can’t even give Gmail addresses away these days. But I’m going to try – so let me know if you want one.
Hey John, i’ll take one off your hands, as long as i don’t have to do anything :)
Not sure whether that was deliberate fishing for linkage or not – either way, well reminded. You now have both a link and a Gmail invite.
Why thank you kind sir.
The honourable Tomodachi be reduced to fishing for links? I should call you out, sir. ;)
Is your real name Zell Miller perchance?
Hey! I’ll take one off your hands as well. Jimmy Carter though. What a BASTARD!
Add a letter e onto the first word of my email address (the one from your comment thingy) and it might even get to me…
Jimmy Carter though. What a bastard eh?
Hey me too! I linked to most of these losers first!
Are you trying to imply that i’m a turncoat democrat who makes his switcheroo purely for the purpose of flogging copies of his latest book?
I really am calling you outside now, sir.
