On the Case

Welcome friends, associates, colleagues, indexing spiders and accidental tourists. This is Blog P.I.

Anyone actually reading this post today is probably well enough aware of my former web column on the subject of political blogs. For them, this new site will probably be recognizable. (As for the rest of you, type a little more carefully next time.)

Here at Blog P.I., I won’t attempt a comprehensive rundown of all the biggest stories in the political web, as I did for nearly a year. Rather, I’ll focus on the most interesting controversies, the most controversial interests, and dig a bit further into developing stories. Blog P.I. will be a meta-blog much like my last gig, but chances are I won’t be a pure observer, if I ever was. Blog P.I. will move stories forward whenever possible.

You’ll notice that the site is still technically in “beta,” which is to some extent a clever way of saying we’re not really ready to go, and to some extent exactly how a blog should be launched. The blogroll at left will grow, the layout will be customized, and I’ll figure out exactly what goes on around here. This first week especially, I’ll be throwing things against the blog and seeing what sticks, so please, pardon me if I make a bit of a mess.

Then the week after I have a previously scheduled engagement in Europe, so an old friend and fellow blog-watcher will be here to water the plants and pick up the mail. By which I mean to say, week two of Blog P.I. is all his. I am not familiar with any other blog that has launched one week and brought in a guest-blogger the second, so this will be unusual to say the least. Then again, if Blog P.I. is unusual, at least it won’t be like every other blog about blogs (and they are legion).

So there you have it. After some weeks of planning and procrastination, Blog P.I. is on the case. Whether this means car chases and shootouts or blurry pictures of your wife getting out of a strange man’s car, I don’t rightly know. Either way, we’ll have some fun.

P.S. — Unless I’m bumped, I should be on The Radio Factor with Bill O’Reilly at 1:06 p.m. EDT. I bet you can guess what the general subject will be.

    I do believe I’m the first person to comment in your shiny new blog’s feedback area/place/thing.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have anything worthwhile to say so here is a link to a game show that asks the question: “what sort of cat does it take to lift an enormous fish?”

    Good luck, man. Give ‘em hell and/or knock ‘em dead.
