TMV happily and smilingly welcomes our newest co-blogger Polimom.
TMV is smiling because Polimom is perhaps one of the best moderate writers on the Internet — and, in fact, TMV would say one of the best in any medium. She has her own blog and describes herself as “conservatively liberal, moderately well-educated, and highly opinionated.” For a while she wrote a great blog for the Houston Chronicle but set very high standards for herself and decided to leave it. However, on her most “blah day,” Polimom is better than TMV himself on his best day.
We’re SURE TMV readers will become huge fans of Polimom who could (and probably will) one day be writing op-ed pieces for newspapers. She’s our THIRD moderate voice out of Texas (Jack Grant returned to Texas from France, and Paul Silver is in Austin), is a joy to read — and we’re honored to have her add her voice here.
Her first posts are chain linked below.
