Introducing The New Guy

By Doug Mataconis | Related entries in Blogging

Thanks to a generous invitation from Justin Gardner, I’ve joined the blogging team here at Donklephant so, I guess it’s best to start out with an introduction.

My name is Doug Mataconis and, for the past three years or so, I’ve been blogging about politics, news, and whatever else catches my interest at Below The Beltway. I am also a contributing blogger at the libertarian-oriented group blog The Liberty Papers.

Like every other politcal blogger, I have been swept up in what is without a doubt the most interesting, exciting Presidential race in my lifetime and I started reading Donklephant sometime last year and have enjoyed the coverage these guys have been providing. So, it’s an honor to be asked to join the team and I hope I can live up to the standard they’ve set.

With the campaign only days away from entering it’s most intense phase, I’ll be posting what I can when I can and hopefully contributing to the already excellent political coverage here at Donklephant.

    Doug, if that “Democrats Introduce Class Warfare” post that you put out today is any indication about where things are going to go, count me as unimpressed. You have to be either willfully blind or willfully partisan to have watched this election so far and come up with that criticism.

    Sorry, but that’s the way it is. Take it or leave it.
