Welcome Fellow Al Cross Fanboys/gals

For those of you who were introduced to this web site by Al Cross’ column this morning (if not, we’ve linked it here), welcome to The Recovering Politician!

Here are links to our mission, our host, the RP, and our civility-promoting comment policy.

As a quick primer, some of the more popular pieces during our first week online included:

Jeff Smith’s stunningly candid personal tale of political rise, dramatic fall, and hopeful future redemption.

The RP’s deeply personal essay about his father, RFK, and the greatest speech of the 20th Century.

A recovering college professor’s story about how politics and the modern culture of anonymity infects academia.

Or…if you just want to check out The RP sporting a Justin Bieber hairdo years before the pop star was born, click here.

We hope you enjoy surfing the site. And come back for more: Our second week promises to generate even bigger waves.
