A Belated Greeting to Mr. Neas!

Some hostess I am, swanning in to introduce the guest of honor after he's already settled in with a drink and appetizers. As attentive Swamplands readers have noticed by now, Ralph Neas is guestblogging for us this week, filling in some gaps while Karen takes a week off. Mr. Neas is the president of People for the American Way, a civil rights action and education group with a long history here in Washington and elsewhere. They're currently advocating a hate crime law and a special prosecutor to investigate White House violations of the Constitution; they're against the line item veto and paperless voting.

We welcome Mr. Neas to the party.

Feel free to continue to nominate future guest bloggers in the comments section.
