We expand further: I'm pleased to see that Gaufridus has made himself at home on the Optimates. If his posts have half the wit we've come to expect from him, well, we've come to expect twice the wit his posts will have. In all seriousness, it's good to have him - a fellow New Hampshire native- aboard. We look forward to hearing quite a bit more from him.
We're assembling quite a crew here, and if you look the blog roll at the top left, you'll see that Socratic has joined us as well. As befits his name, we expect Socratic to look for that pesky 'truth' thing in today's events and in our discourse. Another welcome addition to this expanding blog, and we eagerly look forward to his first post.
