American Conservative readers who’ve received the latest issue – out here in the People’s Republic we tend for some reason* to run about two weeks late – may already have noticed that, in addition to having averted the threat of suspending publication and switched from a biweekly to a monthly format, the magazine that gave me my first big break has got another bit of news tucked away at the bottom of page 4:
… we’ll soon be welcoming John Schwenkler and J.L. Wall’s highly regarded “Upturned Earth,” the first of several upcoming additions.
Well. I just thought I’d note that, yes, this is for real – there are still a few little things to iron out, but the switch should be completed very soon. Many thanks to all of you for, uh, regarding us so highly. (Or not.) Stay tuned for the details, and here’s to the future …
Oh, and check out the redesigned main page, now crawling with enough uncompromised conservatism to make you wish it could come each week!
* Possible theories: Leftie postal employees trying to mess with us; crypto-conservative postal employees unable to resist a good read; tired carrier pigeons dozing off somewhere over the Great Plains; a city that prides itself on similarities to Western European economics ending up with postal workers with French-style work ethic. Further guesses, especially at the expense of the French worker, are always welcome.

Congrats. You’ll make a great addition over there.
This is wonderful news. Your blog will be in good company.
That’s great news, John. Congrats.
So was it Upturned Earth that singlehandedly saved TAC from financial ruin?
Ha! No, it was all the loyal readers who came through with those checks …
That’s a fantastic addition – congrats!
Fantastic.
Wonderful news, John/J.L. Congrats!
