Greetings from the guest blogger

I'd like to begin by thanking Michael for this wonderful opportunity to guest blog at The Reaction while he's away on vacation. Michael has built The Reaction into a daily must-read in just a few short months, and I hope that I don't alienate too many of his regular readers during my week at the help with my more-liberal-than-moderate take on the world! As Michael mentioned in his introductory message, I am a regular blogger over at the Dominion Wine and Cheese Society, with which I will be cross-posting during my ten-day stint at The Reaction, save for the real foodie articles. And now, without any further ado, let the fireworks begin!
