What a coincidence:  Last Sunday on Backbone Radio, I interviewed Human Events political reporter Connie Hair and then, two hours later, Jason Mattera, to talk about his new book, Obama Zombies.

On Wednesday, Human Events announced that they are hiring Jason to be their new editor, a remarkable achievement for a 26-year old.

Jason is probably the nation’s most effective communicator of conservative principles to young adults and unquestionably one of the smartest and most talented people in conservative media.

I’m very much looking forward to working with him in my capacity as a contributing columnist for Human Events and I hope to see the nation’s oldest conservative publication move, under his guidance, toward appealing to a broad and diverse audience.

Congratulations, Jason!

P.S. THIS post is NOT an April Fools joke…unlike something else I might have written for today
