A NEW AUTHOR FOR GM'S CORNER

In June of last year, my beloved and I were about to embark on a much needed vacation and I would be out of touch with the blog for at least two weeks. I reached out to a good friend of mine who I had become familiar with via Marc Cooper who thought as I did (well, not all the time, we conservatives aren't part of the hive mind of the Democratic Borg) who could argue with liberals without getting angry and who could and would be willing to expose himself to the vicissitudes of having to blog fairly regularly. I have not once regretted that decision, and when I returned from vacation, I asked Woody to stay on. Thank you Woody.

Now, I am about to introduce another author. The Real Ugly American who blogs at the same name and will post as Real Ugly American. My good friend RUA (or as I call him occasionally TRUA) is a rarity in the blogosphere, a conservative democrat (small d this time) who, fed up with the shenannigans of the national Democrats decided to blog his frustrations. Shortly after RUA started blogging, he contacted me asking for suggestions for his blog and I was more than delighted to help out. Subsequently he calls me his blogfather, though I'm really not, I'm very, very proud to call him friend. He has taken his blog to new heights and has done exceptionally well.

So, in the next few days (as RUA becomes adjusted to the publishing system of GM's Corner) you will see articles posted by Real Ugly American. Be sure and comment, and be sure to add his site to your favorites.

Oh, and by the way, neither Woody nor I are going anywhere, we'll still be posting articles lambasting the left, center and the right when necessary and proper (of course, that will be about a 90%-8%-2% split) and posting humor, politics and mental health (mine and yours, not democrats, they don't have any).
