Please join me in congratulating League blogger (and Outside the Beltway blogger, and Forbes blogger) Alex Knapp who has just accepted a full-time position with Forbes magazine. This is seriously awesome and I’m happy for Alex and Forbes who both, I believe, made out like bandits. Congratulations, Alex!

I was wondering when they were going to quit fooling around and make an honest woman out of him.Report
Wow! Good job!Report
That’s fantastic news. Congratulations on the new gig Alex!Report
Excellent news. Congratulations, Alex.Report
Excellent!Report
Excellent! Congrats.Report
Very cool, congrats!Report
The League’s tendrils continue to grow. I look forward to Jaybird presiding at the NY Times and Bob Cheek’s reign of terror at National Review.Report
Congrats incidentallyReport
See, I’ve been looking forward to the inverse: can’t you just imagine references to that NYC AL East team as: “those Commie Yanks”?
But, yes, congratulations are in order. Just remember: once you’ve accepted your bowler hat from the League, you can never give it back.Report
My god, you’re right J.L… or Jaybird at the Corner? I don’t even know what he’d say but I know that K-Lo’s brains would be melted all over the dashboard before the day was done.Report
There are two Jaybirds. Jaybird the comment person and Jaybird the “I’m publishing this as a post” person. The former is mostly id. The latter almost entirely superego.
I fear that people will want the one but get the other and feel nothing but disappointment when the realization sets in.Report
You need to take pro-psychotic meds (do such a thing exist?) and let ‘er rip.
It could be your thing.Report
Drinks are on Knapp tonight!Report
Congratulations, Alex!Report
Thanks for the well wishes everyone!Report
Does this mean we’ll see your smiling face more or less on this site Alex?
Congrats on the day job, you could always post here nights. 😉Report
Glückwünsche. Dieses ist eine wohlverdiente Verabredung.Report
