Thanks, Ed
Since I've been rather out of pocket and sorts this week, I'm glad just the scent of football in the zeitgeist has inspired Ed McGonigal to do some RT posting. Who knows, maybe we can convince him to come back and re-launch the Weekly Picks?

Boulder Bound
So, I'm flying out to Colorado this weekend to participate in the Conference on World Affairs, held annually at the University of Colorado. I will be immersed in several panels, sitting side-by-side "Simpsons" writers, lead singers of old punk bands and the occasional conservative think tank type. Follow the site above to find out exactly what panels I'll be on.
We'll be discussing everything from civil liberties to torture to evil Hollywood to feminism and so on.
I will try to weigh in every now and then from Boulder, but to guarantee that there will be fresh content at RT next week, some guest-bloggers will drop in. RT regular, football maven and all-around Brett Favre-hater, Ed McGonigal will be offering some of his political insights (probably dissing Barack Obama as much as he can). And, for the first time here, my friend David Bernstein (who is not the same guy who blogs over at the Volokh Conspiracy) will weigh in on something or other. David is a long-time veteran of the publishing world; his latest venture -- among many hats -- is The New Pamphleteer.
Please treat them as you would...ah, who am I kidding? You'll do what you'll always do -- get feisty and say what's on your mind!
And we wouldn't have it any other way!
Ed and David, thanks in advance! Have fun while I'm away.

Ed's Long National Nightmare Is Over
RT's NFL blogging partner-in-crime, Ed McGonigal is a happy man today:
Brett Favre is finally hanging them up!
Brett, as Ed pointed out to RT readers a few months back, is to sports media what Barack Obama is to the political journalists.
On a completely unrelated note, doing a bit of Googling, I discovered that there is another Ed McGonigal, one who lives above the Mason-Dixon line. And, what a coincidence, this one is making a career out of what I do on the side -- stand-up comedy! Small world!
