Lessons learned: when you get a ticket for vehicular… misdeeds (nothing serious) out of state, you should just pay it and save yourself a whole lot of trouble down the road. Because I am learning this lesson far too late in life, I’m going to be spending my morning, and possibly my day, at the DMV reinstating my drivers’ license. (For the record, everything’s settled with a New Jersey township; I have a certification that its problems with me no longer exist; etc.) For that reason, I’ve got two three guestbloggers for you today who are covering for me. Exciting!

M. LeBlanc is a recently unemployed civil rights lawyer and humorless feminist who blogs sporadically at Bitch Ph.d.

Ned Resnikoff is an NYU Philosophy major, national politics blogger at NYU Local, and part-time Tumblr-er and tweeter.

Update: Late addition, but a proud one! Jamelle Bouie is a recent UVA grad, “full-time” blogger at the League of Ordinary Gentlemen and proud member of the Grape Drink Mafia.  You can also find him on twitter and tumblr.

These guys were nice enough to volunteer when I tweeted a call for guestbloggers. So you guys know, when I do that, I’m completely serious. Hardcore teaches you to pass the mic around.
