Run away, run away, run away

Erm, it's got sharp teeth

Oh, yes, I'm trying out the html lessons from Neil. Thanks Neil if you happen to read this.

Muah, ha, ha, ha

But seriously, congratulations. He deserves it. I can't wait to get to the new site.

attended undergraduate college in my hometown, and thus had a life and no need for a fraternity (save phi beta kappa!), I will rely upon the yankees to school me in Greek rituals with which I am unfamiliar. I am very familiar with souvlaki and baklava.

btw, what does this pay?

free jumper cables?

And given this public outing of the notion that I am now responsible for more than navel gazing, should I also prepare for an RS female marriage proposal?

Now that I have to admit that Mike Bloomberg is in the same fraternity I am, along with my father, I regret that I can't engage in the kind of hazing rituals with Absentee that might in other circumstances be completely appropriate for what he truly deserves. "Touchy-feely" society these days, and all that. ;)

I will however invite him at any opportunity to tour some of the better eating and drinking establishments along the Eastern Seaboard, beginning with the Boston area and surrounding communities, but we can go as far south as Virginia before I lose my bearings and require GPS. Come to think of it, maybe we can fly him out to the coast to have some steak and a few drinks in D.C.? That might be nice for all of us, come to think of it.

What say you, Absentee? I Have Audi, Will Travel.

In the meantime, great choice and I know he'll make us proud here on the front page.

the only possible reason you could have for promoting him to the front page is the consistently well-written and well researched pieces he has done.

If high standards are your criteria for advancement, I am afraid few of us will ever achieve the honor.

Though apparently not traditional (doh!), thanks for bringing me on board/what were they thinking blog.

compelling writers on this--or any other--website. May you give Ace a run for his money next year! Thanks for all the wonderful diaries that you have written to date and I'll look forward to many more--what, not enough pressure for you? ;-)

boy, you'll really be held accountable now! No more, "Oops", your a front pager now old friend!

and distinguish myself from the editors who continue to mis-capitalize absentee's name!

absentee, hail to you! You are outstanding in wit and principle. You are in every way an honorable man, an eminently worthy adversary, and an even better friend. The fact that you'll never persuade me to shift my loyalty from Fred Thompson to John McCain is not your fault - I mean, consider what we each have to work with in that debate...

My brother, I'm honored to know you and I know you will cause the bright shine which is RedState to shine even brighter.

Side note to the RedState team: Very, very good call, guys. Absolutely commendable. Now I beg you, please begin referring to him as absentee, and not Absentee.

I must admit that your blogs are among the most enjoyable reading here (even if I'm still not a fan of McCain).

I have to admit, it was getting rather tiresome having to recommend every single one of your blogs, so I'm glad to see that issue will be alleviated now :D

and after reading your ridiculous circuitous plan, how you got this new position is quite evident.

As for Redstate, I'm sorry I'm not a better contributor in either quality or volume, but I appreciate you letting me in and hope to get that invite to the new place. In case I don't, please let me say thank you here. You have "it" for readers like me.

and the person who famously plugged him on Rush Limbaugh thereby singlehandedly giving him his entire blogging career on a silver platter, I believe I deserve one of these invites to the new site..

We'll see if being related to such a powerful and influential person will actually pay off as well as he claimed it would when he forced me to call Rush.

In all seriousness, congrats caleb.

Well deserved, indeed! Happy Easter brother!

In Vino Veritas

Your posts are things of beauty!

“One element in the strength of any government is the patriotism of the people, their love for its institutions, their pride for its name and achievements.” ~ William McKinley

You deserve to be on the front page.
You, of all people, make me think.
Sometimes too hard.
Frohliche Ostern!

is impeccable and always thoughtful even when I am not in full agreement.

Congrats both to Absentee and to Redstate.
