The rumors are true. On Friday I finally manged to get together with Sam Taylor for coffee. I dispute his account of the meeting on only one important point: we both did quite a bit of ranting. It was a regular rant-off.

One of my points of contention was the limited number of blog entries per page over there at the Herald. Sam was clearly won over by my brilliant argument and today the post-per-page setting has been changed from four or something to fifteen!

Other topics were things like the local political climate and how he should join us at Drinking Liberally and knock back a few pints (apparently he’s got some rule about not drinking on the job that I didn’t fully understand). Actually, most of the time we were talking shop and it was very interesting to get his perspective as an observer. Most people I know are either ardent partisans or don’t know and don’t care to know about politics.

I really had a lot of fun, and I highly recommend to anyone who’s got an interest in his beat get together with Sam any time that they’re able to drag him away from work.
