So that's it. I'm done. My two weeks have come to an end. Alas.

I'd like to thank Mike for the wonderful opportunity, Blue Gal for being such a helpful and friendly editor, and, of course, John for everything he does here at C&L. It's been a pleasure, and I've enjoyed not just being able to link to some of my favourite blogs but to get to know many other great ones that will now be regular stops for me.

You're always welcome to come and check out my place, too, where I've got a great team of bloggers doing some fantastic commentary on (mostly) U.S. politics. Like this post -- and I say this as a proud liberal -- defending socialism.

Distributorcap NY: Yet more arrogance, stupidity, and revisionism from the punditocracy, this time Pelosi-related.

The Debate Link: Glenn Beck and the disgusting anti-Semitic attacks on George Soros.

Writes Like She Talks: The diminishing marginal returns on bashing Obama.

The Rap Sheet: James Bond turns 90. (This is a really good crime-fiction blog edited by journalist and author J.Kingston Pierce, who also runs the excellent political blog Limbo.)

Guest post by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction.

I'll now hand off to Don Davis of the very amusing Satirical Political Report, who will be your guide for the next little while. E-mail tips to him at satiricalpolitical AT gmail DOT com.
