Allow me to send out a hearty congratulations to the excellent political author James Joyner and his wife Kimberly on the birth of Katharine Webb Joyner on Dec. 31, 2008. Pictures are available at the link of the new arrival who checked into the world at seven pounds, six ounces and 18.5 inches in length. Notice how, as with all Good Republicans, James managed to get the kid delivered in time for an extra tax benefit for 2008.
(Just kidding ya, James. Congrats and our best wishes to you and the family.)
