I take responsibility for Auguste’s departure. After over a year of incessant IMs and emails extolling the talents and overall greatness of Mrs. Malkin, he’s decided hand it over to me.

auguste [23:50] :: wtf? didn’t I tell you to stop sending me links?
ryan [23:50] :: I didn’t think you were serious…
ryan [00:02] :: Are you mad?
auguste [00:03] :: [CENSORED]

I think he meant to type “sigh” there. Eh.

As far as I know, there aren’t any other major changes planned, save for the things the previous blogger will be taking with him. Most notably: Auguste’s signature “Friday Poetry Blogging” and quality writing. He may pick these up at the Liberal Avenger. We’ll see.

I can be contacted at ryan.mwatch[AT]gmail.com. And since you wouldn’t abuse Michelle or Allahpundit’s email addresses by signing them up for scandalous newsletters, please extend the same respect to mine.

In all seriousness, I applaud Auguste for the work he’s done here. Although it started as an excuse to publish something (anything) in blog form, he’s established that there is an audience for commentary on Michelle’s daily spews. I can only hope to be the Jon Stewart to Auguste’s Craig Kilborn. I think my inner child just shed a little tear…
