So the pleasing announcement from yesterday is that The Constable sold out and joined the Chronicle's blog team. Some questions, answered:
What does this mean for him?
It means that he'll be even more of an insufferable prick.
What does this mean for Astros County?
Not a single thing. He'll be providing some commentary a couple of times a week over at the Chronicle, and we'll link to it.
What does this mean for the Chronicle?
Personally, the rest of us think that the Chronicle has made a serious mistake. They don't know what they've gotten themselves in to. Keep watching, because the train is about to crash. Or maybe we're jealous. Oh well - he started the blog, he should be responsible for its demise.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
