The bulk of my politics writing will now appear at Cernig's Newshog, a great politics blog hosted by a fooking Scot currently residing in Texas.

Cernig and I have worked together in the past, and he's a really remarkable blogger with a great eye for stories. He'll listen to a routine press conference and catch the one detail that blows the lid off of the latest policy discussion. I'm looking forward to having deadlines and a sounding board, and I think that Cernig is looking forward to having my verging-on-mental-illness faith in the ideals and aptitude of America to broaden the vision at Newshog.

I won't be doing a lot of cross posting, because if you need to read it twice you can always just scroll up and start over. Simianbrain will not be devoid of politics, but will change in ways that I haven't really thought through so well. There's plenty of stuff in my cluttered head, so having multiple places to put it all doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Some of my work will still occasionally, as always, appear at Shakespeare's Sister as well. The incisive wit over there is simply good blogging, and you should definitely read today's entry, from Shakes, "Citizen Asshole".

I am carving out my own little niche as a freelance blogger, which is like being a freelance writer but it pays a lot less. Like, nothing. Which continues the theme I first started when I began writing poetry at the age of 5. At this rate, I'll be among the most published writers in the country, dutifully working my day job to pay the bills.
