A New Partner in Criminal Reason

I want to take a few sentences to introduce you all to Matthew McCoy, a gifted writer that will be blogging with me from now on. He might just be the wittiest guy I've ever met. Matt's a lot like me, aggressively left and certainly no fan of organized religion, but we tend to disagree at times, so the blog will also function as a dialogue in the spirit of true democratic politics. Unlike others, we love to argue for argument's sake.

I hope you enjoy his perspective as much as I do. His first post, on Bush's nomination of Roberts for the Supreme Court, follows below.
