The nation is polarized into two clear groups: Republicans and Democrats.  It is nice to know that in the Orange County political blogosphere, that is not the case.

We’ve been acquired by Red County magazine!

Our new editor is Matt Cunningham, and our new blog name is “The Blue Minority.”  Our web domain will be changing before Wednesday.

The press release regarding this exciting new partnership is available here.

So Jubal is now the editor of the Liberal OC? That really, really . . . sucks. Jesus Christ. (Or are we not allowed to say that anymore?)

Thanks for the kind words there Tim, but this was 100% Lawson. I can’t take any of the credit.
And I agree with Brian – GENIUS!
BTW, Tim, I think you mean BIGOTRY, but perhaps BIGAMY is a big issues with folks in Bakersfield.

That is a good one! There was also a rumor going around that Irvine allowed Los Angeles to put an airport at El Toro in exchange for some park financing. That had me fooled. It is posted at eltoroairport.blogpost.com
