As you can see from the image right up there at the top right side of the site, we’re about ready to go with TPMCafe. We’ll be launching the site on Tuesday, May 31st. And we’ll be bringing you various updates throughout the day.
But I wanted to share with you one special addition we’ll have in store when we launch.
One of the occasional features of the new site will be a special one week guest blogging stint by some well-known individual who we think our readers would be interested in hearing more from. This won’t be part of one of our group blogs. They’ll have their own blog for that week, much like any other solo blog like TPM, or the Washington Note, or Eschaton (when Atrios doesn’t have others filling in for him) operates.
In most cases, the guest will have some connection to politics or the driving political issues of the day. But not always. We’ll try to include a mix of different people — in each sense of the word.
For now, we’re quite pleased to announce that joining us for our debut week will be former Senator John Edwards (D) of North Carolina who was, needless to add, John Kerry’s vice-presidential running mate in last year’s election.
Edwards will have the guest blogging seat from Tuesday 31st through Friday 3rd.
More news to follow.
