Back on the block with the O, taking on Geraldine and foes
Don't make me relapse, and air-out BET Negroes
Cause the street talk is all I know....
Anyway, Scarface and Jigga fans will get it. To everyone else, it's good to be home. Props to Matt for hosting me for a week. But seriously, it's good to be back. Miss me much?

For some reason, I'd always thought you were alreadyy part of that big Atlantic collective with Yglesias, Ezra and Sully. Maybe it's just your template.
Hilzoy quoted you in a VERY good post on Obsidian Wings, btw.
back when O was huggin' it
Clinton couldn't do nuh with it
straight from the oven wit it
he came from the dirt
and rose above it all
without a stain on his shirt
you can ask his old earth...
Yes, we missed you. :-) I am getting addicted to your blog.
