Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

The All-New, All-Different

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

Aug 9 2010, 8:30 AM ET Comment

We've got a good crew taking up this week. All-star commenter Andy Hall is going to fill in. Andy's knowledge of all things Civil War is truly intimidating. Also Mark Kleiman author of When Brute Force Fails will join us. Lastly, we have Neil Drumming who's done several stints here before. I think it will be a pretty awesome week. 

Lastly, I wanted to apologize for not bringing any Julian Sanchez last week. Julian is one of my favorite bloggers, but we had a bit of scheduling mix-up. Hopefully, we'll be able to work something out the next time I go off into the woods.

EDIT: And somehow, someway I forgot the incredible Oliver Wang. My bad O. Seriously.
