One of the great pleasures of my job at Pajamas Media is to create new opportunities for writers I admire. You could easily say Claudia Rosett and Ron Rosenbaum – two of the best mainstream journos around – are doing us a favor by starting new blogs at Pajamas Media Politics Central. And indeed they honor us with their presence. But this is also yet another sign that media times are a-changing. We will be adding others to the FrontBurner soon. But first, welcome Claudia and Ron. What an amazing way to start.

1. David Thomson:I own a copy of Ron Rosenbaumís Explaining Hitler. Sigh, itís about time that I read it. Iím glad to see that he will have his own blog. Welcome aboard.
Aug 30, 2006 - 11:40 am 2. Peter G.:Rosenbaum’s blog is interesting, diverse, and full of lengthy posts, and is all of six days old.

Rosenbaum’s neologism, “blogesthesia,” resonates:
“Which would be the kind of thing I like to do best in cultural criticism: see pop culture through the lense of high culture, hear high culture themes in the voices of low culture. See politics through the lense of culture and culture through the lense of politics.”
For me, of course, it would be more along the lines of “see politics through the lens of cats and cats through the lens of politics.”
