The brilliant Kevin Drum is now at Mother Jones. Kevin was one of the first bloggers I ever read, and the second blogger I ever begged a link from (he, uh, didn't link), and telling people to read him feel superfluous. You're already reading him. He rocks. As for The Washington Monthly (whose internship program gave me my start in journalism), the tireless Steve Benen and the inimitable Hilzoy are taking over duties there. Both blogs will be great, and congratulations to all parties.
