Andrew returns tomorrow morning tonight. Many, many thanks to Jim Manzi, Julian Sanchez and Jonah Lehrer for their hard work this past week. Please visit Jim over at The American Scene and at National Review. If you enjoyed Jonah's posts, I'm sure he would love it if you picked up a copy of his excellent new book and kept him company over at The Frontal Cortex. Julian Sanchez can be found over at JulianSanchez.com and, I assume, over at Cato's blog sometime in the not-so-distant future.
As this is my last post before Andrew returns, I'd also like to thank Bob Wright, Conor Clarke, Peter Suderman, Conor Friedersdorf, Hanna Rosin and Chris Bodenner for the blogging they did over the past month. Though it is impossible to replace Andrew's voice during his breaks, this blog has become more than just a soapbox for Andrew's quickly composed thoughts. The online cocktail Andrew has created endures in his absence: one part political musings, one part reader e-mails, and two parts highlights from the best of the web. Before I return to the recesses of the Andrew-Sullivan-Industrial-Complex, I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Andrew for entrusting me with his bully pulpit and to the readership for keeping us on our toes.
I assume that a disappointed otter is an acceptable parting gift.
