That's exactly where I wanted my $100 to go -- birthing another pundit.

No, I'm not complaining. After all, aren't I nothing more than an amateur pundit myself?

I, for one, look forward to reading what Hoard Dean has to write. I think his column could prove to be influential to progressives, like the columns of Arianna Huffington, Paul Krugman, and Dan Savage. (Yes, Dan Savage is influential to all progressives. "Santorum," people?)

Perhaps he can once and for all tell us how to spell "YEAAAHHRRGGH!" Oh, and continue to tell us why No Child Left Behind is bullshit, and why foreign manufacturers should have the same worker protections we do, and why we need to be as critical of Israel as we are of the Palestinians. You know, common sense shit.
