Kevin Drumm and his popular Calpundit blog have been acquired/integrated by Washington Monthly, and — truly amazing — the front page of its website has become Drumm’s new blog. (Tip o’ the hat to J.D. Lasica for the pointer.) The move adds thousands of new visitors and page-views and hundreds of daily posts and comments to the site. Because this is so, I foresee a booming market for blogger-trading, blogger-hunting, blogger-talentspotting and blogger-agents. Meet me at the next blogger-fair.
