GP,

I will be aware of your caveat about blog advertising. I am admittedly bias about what I have written in it, and I feel this way because I have had some very supportive responses offline. Despite having been a writer for decades, I have never formally submitted a single article. I did have my own newsweekly from 1993-95, the Mishawaka Monitor. I made my share of enemies then for my progressive anti-PAC stand and for editorials against corruption in both parties.

I like the thinking I see in your site, and yet I have purposefully refrained for decades in taking part in any of the posting sites like DU. The vast majority of my posts have been to the NYT commentary, and I have been active there for many years. There, I post under my real name.

I would appreciate it if you might take a look at my blog entries. They cover a lot of ground, and I have moved away from journalism to more of a historical look at the world. I love the essay format and consider Lewis Lapham to be the best at it. He likes my writing too.

I'll await your decision. Thank you.

George
