Welcome To My New Home

August 6, 2015 by Ed Brayton 4 Comments
Okay, leaving Freethought Blogs, a blog network I created, was the really difficult part. Joining Patheos is the easy part, mostly because I have a lot of friends here already and a lot of bloggers that I really respect. This will be the 6th home of Dispatches from the Culture Wars. First I was on Blogger, way back in November, 2003. A few months later, I switched to a service called MBlog, which was kind of like WordPress.com but for Movable Type, a popular blogging platform at the time. A few months later, as I recall, MBlog folded and I moved the blog to its own domain at stcynic.com. In early 2006, I joined ScienceBlogs and stayed there until August 1, 2011, when I officially launched FTB. And now I’m at Patheos.
I do hope my longtime readers have made the journey with me, as they have done in the past. After nearly 12 years of blogging, I’m very fortunate to have a lot of people who seem to enjoy what I do and I hope they’ll keep following my writing. What you will see here will be no different than what I’ve been doing for a long time — a lot of politics, particularly where it intersects with religion; a lot of focus on constitutional law; a lot of focus on social justice and equality issues; a lot of focus on separation of church and state; an occasional post about poker or sports or music or whatever else catches my attention at the time. A lot of snark and sarcasm. Let’s get started.

About Ed Brayton
After spending several years touring the country as a stand up comedian, Ed Brayton tired of explaining his jokes to small groups of dazed illiterates and turned to writing as the most common outlet for the voices in his head. He has appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show and the Thom Hartmann Show, and is almost certain that he is the only person ever to make fun of Chuck Norris on C-SPAN.
