Greetings, I’ll be your guest blogger for the next week or so. You may remember me from such guest blogging gigs as the last time I did this, the time before that, or even my blog at TPM Cafe which, obviously, you all should be reading.
In addition to the various TPM Media landmarks referenced below, I celebrated my twenty-fifth birthday yesterday, leaving the heady days of early twentiesness behind in favor of the stable sobriety of the mid twenties. The United States Congress, meanwhile, seems to be heading in the opposite direction and embracing adolescent stunts in lieu of policymaking: “the Senate yesterday voted to make English the ‘national language’ of the United States, declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in a language other than English except for those already guaranteed by law.” So the only services people will have a legal right to obtain in non-English languages will be the ones they . . . have a legal right to obtain in non-English languages? Good times.
If you’d like to get in touch, drop me a line at myglesias at gmail. English is preferred, though my French is pretty good and I can usually discern the meaning of writing in your other romance languages. All replies, however, will be strictly in English.
