Hi, my name's Matt Welch. Welcome to my site! This is the place where I keep most of the articles and columns I've written since early 1998, and a handful from before, divided up into all kinds of sub-categories you can see in the blue bar over on the left, or just plopped down in reverse chronological order directly below (though that list is incomplete). For a daily discussion of news events & whatever, please visit my weblog, and feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for coming, and have fun looking around!
