Not sure how much I'll post today and tomorrow because Greg is taking a couple days off, so I'll be over there more than usual.
Meanwhile, over the weekend we here at Plain Blog celebrated a birthday; I've been doing this four years, now. Woo! Easy slogan for the occasion: Four More Years!
Thanks are due: to Greg, to the other folks at the Post and at Salon and TAP; to John and the other political science bloggers; to all the great commenters here; and especially to those who have supported Plain Blog with kind words and links. Thank you!
I suppose I should thank all the politicians and hack journalists who have provided easy items for me over the years, but that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
At any rate, I appreciate everyone's support. Thank you! Plenty more to come.
I don't know if I've commented on here before but I really enjoy your blog. It's up there with my other favorites, Jon Chait and Kevin Drum.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone, and thanks for the forum. If there's one thing I've learned back here, its this:
ReplyDeleteIf you ever find a community where the people are
a) mostly intelligent,
b) mostly gracious, and
c) mostly in disagreement with you -
that's an incredibly valuable thing. Best wishes for continued success.
Amen! It's kind of like finding a restaurant that's just popular enough to stay in business, but not so popular that it's hard to get a table or for the restaurant to maintain quality.
DeleteHappy birthday Plain Blog!
ReplyDeleteDr. B,
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI have to admit when I first started seeing your work in the Post I thought "oh great another lefty." But you've grown on me. I come at this from a different political perspective but I've come to appreciate your earnestness and civility. Your work is now on my must-read list each day.
So congrats! And I look forward to more.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone -- and thanks for reading, and more importantly, thanks to the regular commenters.
