From the desk of Jane Galt:Public Service Announcement
As you probably know, this blog has two authors. Myself (Jane Galt) and Mindles H. Dreck, the International Man of Mystery. The deal is, he writes better stuff, but I'm more prolific, thus illustrating the eternal economic verity: Quality. Quantity. Cheap. Choose two.
Mindles has been on a long hiatus. His infrequent postings have led many to forget the jewels which (too infrequently) drop from his keyboard into our path. New readers may not be aware at all that he posts here. But he does. The name of the poster appears at the top of the entry, so you can always tell who's writing -- even if the superior quality of Mindles' contribution hasn't tipped you off. That will avoid the problem we've had with some people commenting on his posts as if he were me. He's not. He's smarter and better looking, for starters.
And Mindles . . . welcome back. We've missed you.
UPDATE FROM MINDLES: She is as untruthful as she is flattering. This blog's recruiting policy is not that of Mr. Lopez-Pierre's Harlem Club. She's not only better looking but also beats me in both quantity and quality. I'm just a guy who turned 40 and has three kids of his own plus Eliot Spitzer run amok all over his industry. We now return you to your regularly scheduled, appropriately Megan-heavy programming.
But thanks for the encouragement.

In my defense, I am fairly new to reading this blog and also can be dense at times.
Jane- What the hell is wrong with those people on Calpundit? You post a couple of reasonable opinions and get several frothing at the mouth responses. Are there any liberals capable of refuting an opinion without stooping to personal attacks and emotional rhetoric?
Yay! I treated myself to a rereading of Mindles' post on "More than you ever wanted to know about two-by-fours" (Feb 20, 2003) in celebration.
My most humble apologies. I'm new to the blog world and didn't realize that it was poor etiquette to comment to someone other than the original poster on a blog with multiple posters. I thought the subject was pictures. Live and learn.
Still like to see a picture, though. And no, I'm not sweaty and flushed. I'd like to see -- visually -- something that is very unusual. A very smart, very pretty woman who is 6'2" tall. If that offends anyone's sense of propriety, well, they need a new sense of propriety.

That wasn't meant as criticism, Inquisit . . . I was just trying to let people know who might not be aware that there are two posters.
And I'm flattered by your itnerest. I should have Christmas photos up soon.

Funny, Liberals (such as myself) tend to say the same thing about posting on these more conservative boards and the reactions they get. It goes both ways. As a frequent reader of this board I can now identifiy the rabid-arch-conservatives who are incapable of refuting a liberal opinion and start frothing at the mouth. I tend to ignore those posters here because I know what they are and their opinion does not matter to me.
Kevin Drum writes an interesting blog. Don't let some frothy liberal scare you away. Ignore the posts from the frothers and enjoy the blog. It's always best to get a diverse group of opinions even if you disagree with everything they say.
"He's smarter and better looking, for starters."
Jane:
I maybe hormonealy driven, but IMHOP there are no men of any sort who are better looking than you, and not many who are smarter.
"... smarter and better looking..."
Okay, I'll give him better looking, at least until proven otherwise!
Okay, I've got to agree with Dean Esmay, although I might have put it more poetically.
And I'm flattered by your itnerest. I should have Christmas photos up soon.
Yes! There so is a God . . .
