A little while ago we rolled out our first hosted blog, Not a Potted Plant by Burt Likko. I’d like to welcome our second Ordinary Blogger, Alex Knapp who will be blogging at A Practical Heretic. You can find his blog up in the navigation bar at the top of the page. You can read his intro post here.
More to come…

I’d like to see a debate between a potted plant and a practical heretic, meself. Just to see if I could tell the difference.
Now, now, don’t ban me, Erik or Jason. I just hate to see y’all get to have all the transgressive fun.Report
Tom, go check out Alex’s post on memorization and my comment, and tell me if you see a difference between our points of view. I can assure you that I’m not Alex Knapp. I’ve enjoyed his writing at Outside the Beltway for some time, but his perspective is not always congruent with my own.Report
I’m pretty sure that we’re not the same person. I mean, sure, we’ve never been photographed together, but still….Report
Sorry, Messrs. Not Potted Plant and Practical Atheist, I don’t quite get the dramatic thrust of yr disagreement w/each other. Or the substance. Thx for responding, though.Report
Welcome Alex!Report
