Greetings everyone. Kos here. For those of you who were on vacation the last few weeks, you may have been surprised at the changes at this site.

Billmon and Steve Soto have been filling in for me as work and my new blog, the Political State Report, have kept me horribly busy (and on the road). Everything will be back to normal next Friday once my life regains some modicum of sanity. Until then, it's clear to me this site is in good hands.
