Southern Appeal has a new blogger, Mike DeBow of Samford University, who is active in the Federalist Society and has a number of good public policy pieces in Regulation. I first encountered Mike in the late 1980s, when he wrote a piece for Regulation attacking a line of research I was engaged in. (James DeLong defended it last week in Tech Central Station.) It is about time he joined up. I told Mike he should be blogging months ago, and he offered the feeble excuse that he was too busy. Fooey! Welcome to the blogging world, Mike.

I only recently discovered Natalie Solent's blog. She has, it seems, been assimilated, and a good thing too.
