Of Warm Impermanence

Like Rob, starting Tuesday I will be contributing to TAPPED. I will still be doing a fair amount of posting here–for some reason, the Prospect is not fully convinced about the value of lengthy posts about baseball, pretentious French movies, the silliness of Ann Althouse, etc. (I’m sure the hockey blogging is the main reason I was hired, though.) Still, to ensure that there’s a steady supply of material for our tens of fans, and deciding that quality material was not necessarily inconsistent with the L, G & M concept, we are proud to announce that the inimitable Dave Noon of The Axis of Evel Knievel will be joining our classic power trio format. Dave introduces himself thusly:

All-purpose historian from U. of Alaska Southeast, proprietor of the Axis of Evel Knievel, and whatever else you guys want to make up about me. My anonymity on the internets is pretty well shot, and I’m planning to keep the swearing and blasphemy to a minimum, so there’s no sense in hiding from the world. Besides, LGM will be the most dignified, respectable thing I have going in my life. So long as I don’t turn into the blogging equivalent of Poochie the Dog…

This, of course, won’t happen–Dave may be half Joe Camel, but he’s only an eighth Fonzarelli. He will unquestionably create a proactive new paradigm here at L, G & M. Enjoy!
