Congratulations to my “bestest” RedState blogger friend, mbecker, for his RedHot posting privileges.  Even though his commentary is often “redhot” itself, he tells it like he sees it, and — believe it or not — does have a “cuddly” side.

As for me, I’ll have to settle for continued “Mr. EdHot” posting privileges.  And I thank the RedState editors for the honor of being able to participate in the finest conservative blogger community in cyberspace.
