I have begun a new blog, where all my politics related postings will be placed. The blog is co-written with Joe Fisher in order to provide a sense of balance, though I must admit that my politics can totally kick his politics ass.

The blog is called progressive conservative, and can be found at http://doubleturn.blogspot.comExpect that blog to be

I want to be a contributor to your political blog. I want my titles to be in dark ("gunmetal", if you will) grey and my politics will totally kick *both* of your politics' asses. Two problems though: a) you will have to come up with a considerably less misleading name than that, and b) most of my post titles will probably be one of three things: "you are both idiots", "stop whining you god damned sissies", or "take care of your own shit for once, asshole."

(Apparently I am not even on the scale from left to right anymore; I'm told I exist in the third political dimension, which Lisa likes to call the "shut the hell up" dimension. I... don't really know what that means.)

The "shut the hell up" dimension fits you to a T.

You coulda found someone more conservative than Joe, man. I always thought he was pretty liberal or at least more Libertarian.

I'd say Joe is less socially conservative than most on the right, but he's certainly a fiscal conservative, as well as a Bush supporter. Also, he tends to look at politics much more pragmatically than most, which means that he typically breaks down current events with an eye on how these events will play out in the political arena, which I hope will be a main feature of the blog.
