Guest-Blogging on Citizen Crain

Well, some of you have been polite enough to mention in emails that the political rants on here have been less than gratifying to read, at least the ones on matters American.

In the words of any garden-variety lefty, let me respond with: "I feel your pain."

I still think that Club Whirled has a niche to cover what's going on down here and around Latin America. That's much more tied into its core purpose. But I have the honor of being a guest blogger from now on over at Citizen Crain, the opinion portal started by my friend and fellow 'love exile' here in Brazil, Chris Crain. So I expect I'll save much of my U.S. politics material for that site. It's more in sync with the audience over there. And since Chris was dumb enough to invite me, I might as well park all my self-important punditry on his front stoop from now on and spare you all.

And that means CW will retain its more personal connection with you, much like you've wished it would. Thanks for continuing to read this blog, however few of you there are out there. You mean a lot to me. We've been through a lot together, haven't we? :-)
