Culture11

Well, the cat is out of the bag. Along with fellow Doublethink alum Peter Suderman, I’ve joined forces with several more superexcellent friends to create Culture11, your new destination for pop content, political commentary, narrative journalism, and…of course…MORE. Today’s fare, a representative sampling, includes:

Rod Dreher on the chickens taking over his life

Shawn Macomber on DNC convention protests as performance art

Alex Massie on Olympic tug of war

Me on Joe Lieberman as a faulty Bush legacy ejector seat

Among other delights: our staff blog, The Confabulum, and the biggest x-chromosomal chatterbox known to man, Ladyblog.

Alas, what all this means is that I won’t be around much longer to whisper into your ear at Doublethink. Like seersucker suits and white pants, come Labor Day, I’ll be nothing but a sweet and sunny memory. It’s a shame, as we always want partings to be; but That is Life, and my turn at Doublethink has been a lot of fun. Sonny Bunch is a blog partner anyone should clamor to have, and I owe a big thanks to you, the readers, as well as you other guys, the editors. I’m sure I’ll see you all around, one way or the other. But for now, check out my new digs, and let’s enjoy the rest of the summer…while it lasts.
