So long, suckers! It’s spring break, and I am off for the next week or so. Oh, I’ll probably be checking in from time to time, depending on Internet access, and whether I feel like it. But don’t count on it.

In the meantime, you’ll be in good hands. We’ll have guest posts from the following stellar individuals:

• WLS is an Assistant U.S. Attorney who has been closely following the U.S. Attorney firing scandal. Anybody who has read the comments on my posts on this subject is familiar with WLS’s insightful commentary. He will post on whatever legal issues strike his fancy, but with primary emphasis on the U.S. Attorney brouhaha.

• See Dubya of the Junkyard Blog will be giving us his unique insights on a wide range of issues.

• With any luck, I can get my usual guest blogger Justin Levine to step up his production of posts.

• Milblogger Teflon Don, aka SPC Gordon Alanko, has agreed to provide guest posts when his schedule allows. His Acute Politics site won best Army blog in the Milbloggies, and Jules Crittenden has dubbed him the “best American combat writer in Iraq.” I’m honored to have him blogging here.

• Badger 6, aka CAPT Eric Coulson, blogs at the excellent site Badgers Forward. CAPT Coulson was my original contact in Ramadi, and introduced me to Teflon Don. He is living proof that Charles Rangel and John Kerry don’t know what they’re talking about when they knocked servicemen for being uneducated and without other choices in life. CAPT Coulson is an attorney from St. Louis, Missouri. He is my age (38 years old) and is married, with two dogs and a cat. He and I have had many online chats on Google, and he is the one who informed me of the tragic death of MAJ Megan McClung.

Finally, we have a possible Very Special Guest:

• Jack Dunphy has agreed to at least consider posting here, if an appropriate topic strikes his fancy. It’s pretty ballsy of me to try to poach a guy who has a gig at National Review Online, but I keep trying — hoping to lure Jack in with the carrot of the immediate ability to post items of any length, without editors. (Or pay, or much in the way of readership — but shhhh! don’t mention that! We’re trying to convince him to do this! [APPLAUSE SIGN GOES ON]).

I had hoped to get DRJ to continue her awesome series of Border Patrol posts, and perhaps to post on a special project she has been helping me with. But tending to her broken collarbone takes precedence.

Please welcome this impressive lineup of guest bloggers, and try not to cringe at the thought of how much worse the site will be when I return next week.
