Guest Agitating

For the next four to six weeks I’ll be guest blogging over Radley Balko’s excellent site, The Agitator. Some of the content will be cross-posted here, some will not, so be sure to check in at both places (as you should be doing anyway).

My talented co-Agitators will be Jim Henley of Unqualified Offerings, Pete Guither of Drug War Rant, and Joshua Claybourn of In the Agora.

And to answer Radley’s question: the word “barista” applies to both male and female practitioners of the art, all of whom engage in such masculine activities as tamping with thirty lbs. of pressure, serving espresso in tiny ceramic cups, and drawing leaf-shaped designs into the foam of a latte. Like driving a Mack truck, baby.
