Dear Blowhards --

Rick Darby has been a welcome visitor at 2Blowhards for a long time. So I'm very happy to see that he has begun doing his own blogging too. On his new blog, Rick is as smart, as genial, and as searching as ever. Here he reconsiders his former stance on drug legalization; here he bounces off of Donald's recent posting about museum-visiting to muse about museum-going more generally; and here he manages to give a little lesson in the history of rhetoric even while vividly describing a recent debate between Christopher Hitchens and George Galloway. As down-to-earth as he can be, Rick is also exceedingly open-minded. Fans of psychical research and the paranormal will find a kindred spirit -- and a serious, even scholarly one -- at Rick's blog.

Best,

Michael
