Comings and Goings
As Emphasis Added closes in on its one-year anniversary, we note with interest the changing circumstances of two notable contributors to this site.
First, conservative stalwart and newly-minted papa Brian Duffy will be taking some parental leave from his job to help raise his young daughter – an opportunity afforded him by Bill Clinton’s advocacy of family leave policies, against the stiff opposition of “pro-family” Republicans.
Likewise, the irrepressible “Mépriser” (or, if you prefer, “m’épriser”) will be doing his bit for his country, shipping out on a supply vessel carrying the implements of war to the Persian Gulf. The occasion of this 45-day tour of duty, complete with overtime pay and free Anthrax vaccination, comes courtesy of the policies of President Bush, to whom Mépriser affectionately refers as “Pig Boy Grunt.” Regrettably, Mépriser will enjoy only limited Internet access while on board, so he will likely miss the opportunity to engage Duffy in their usual measured and reasoned debates.
