Let me use this post to take care of a few bits of TPM housekeeping.
First, a couple months ago, I introduced TPM Reader DK and explained why, for the time being, he needed to remain anonymous. As I wrote then, DK was a lawyer at a law firm in the midwest. And frankly commenting on the politics of the day under his own name just wasn’t compatible with the day job.
A few weeks ago, however, DK’s professional situation has changed. And he and I are both glad he can start blogging here under his own name: David Kurtz. You’ll see him now blogging with the new byline. And he’ll probably say about more on this on his own.
Second, we kept our collective TPM nose to the grindstone pre-election. But we’ve got major expansion plans that, if all goes according to plan, we’ll be rolling out over the next couple months. You’ve probably seen how TPM has evolved other the last year. So we’ll be building on that. The proprietor in a case like this is supposed to say how he or she is really excited about all the new stuff coming. But, no, really, I’m really excited about the new stuff we have in store for you. So keep your eyes open for updates on that front.
Finally, I’ve got some family matters to attend to. You’ll see my byline showing up on a fair number of posts here at TPM. But over the next two weeks there will likely be a few stretches of time when I’m just not available at all. So when I’m away the rest of the TPM team — Paul, Justin, Greg, David et al. — will fill the gap.
