A CATHOLIC, A JEW, AND A MUSLIM WALK INTO A BLOG

Hi there — I’m Ross, and I’ll be one of your three guest-bloggers for the holiday season. (I mean, the Christmas season . . . sorry, Mr. O’Reilly, sir.) You can read all about us here — Reihan’s bio is particularly, um, unusual — but just in case things get confusing, I’m the theocon (of the Neuhaus, not the Falwell variety), Steve’s the neocon (as soon as we figure out what a neocon is), and Reihan’s the Kerry voter.

Also, so you’re warned, we tend to be obsessed with natalism, pop culture ephemera, and The New York Observer. But then, who isn’t?

Anyway, thanks so much to Andrew for giving us the chance to play in his sandbox, and hopefully we’ll manage to be at least half as entertaining as he is for the next week-and-a-half. So don’t go away — actual, non-trivial blogging will commence later on today.
— Ross Douthat
