Everybody run - "Flash" is here.

When Jubal approached me and asked me if I would consider joining the renowned OC Blogpen, I was really flattered.  This website has really has become a regular staple for those who follow politics and public policy here in Orange County - I know that I am one of the thousands who check out the OC Blog each day (at a minimum).  I have spent so long as a spectator here, that the idea of being a contributor and writing for the site seemed... odd.  That's what the people on the Blog Pen do, not the rest of us! 

Well, it didn't take me long to think about it, I must admit.  For a second I thought about whether there would be any problems or conflicts because of my own website, The FlashReport.  But then I quickly realized that one of my favorite adages applies -- "More is more!"

So I look forward to, from time to time, throwing out some thought provoking posts for OC Blog readers.  I want to thank Jubal for the opportunity to be able to post on this site.  Even if I do nothing else but quickly drive any of Jeff Flint's posts off of the initial page, I will have done a service to all who frequent this site (although maybe I get half-credit for doing this right now to Adam Probolsky's first post).

This will be fun!

[Agree, but wrong pick.]

I agree that Fleishman's been on this site for a long time. But it's pretty obvious to me that he is Silence Dogood.

[Nope]

I think he's Roscoe and Probolsky is El Pistolero.

Actually I am the love child of three OC Blogers. Not sure which ones though. Are you my mommy?

[Who Cares?]

Does it really matter? Hate to say this Jon. But your commentaries aren't all that great.

I go to other websites when I want worthwhile perspective.

I am not Jon Fleischman.

I am not Chuck DeVore.

Jon,

I am happy to see you joining the Blogpen. As I am happy to see so many joining. Diverse opinions and views help the OC Blog grow in reputation and knowledge. I also love the Flashreport. Read it every day. I hope that the OC Blog can continue to be Orange County's top source of political juice.

Congrats.

Why don't you guys just get rid of the anonymous blogger identities altogether? It is a tired concept.

Good luck Jon - wait until Karen starts responding to your posts!

[Jubal]

Thanks for your input, Art.

Not that we asked for it.

As for the anonymous Fleischman-hater: off to the Village of the Banned with you. You have violated the "no personal attacks" policy countless times, and I'm tired of having to continually delete your puerile, functionally illiterate comments.
