To those of you who've read my work before and to those who haven't, welcome to Right Turn, an opinionated blog on politics and policy. Conservative readers, I promise not to go "native" and, like former Supreme Court Justice David Souter, slide left as soon as I'm "in." Liberal readers, I hope you'll find what I have to say provocative and interesting -- and discover that you actually agree with me now and then.
So who am I, and what am I doing on The Post's website? Well, five years ago, I never dreamed I'd be writing for The Post. For two decades I was a labor and employment lawyer in Los Angeles. Then in 2005, my husband and I decided that California was becoming a mess. (This is a theme I'll come back to time and again.) We moved to Virginia, not with the expectation that I'd become a blogger, but to gradually phase out my career as a lawyer, spend more time with our two sons and enjoy living in a red state. But people plan and God laughs. Virginia turned blue shortly after we arrived, and I discovered that the most rewarding job I could do was to write about politics. Talk about a second act.
After freelancing for a couple of years, I found a home at Commentary magazine. I was front and center, sometimes ahead of the pack, on a number of stories, including the New Black Panther scandal, the ill-fated Chas Freeman appointment, the ill-conceived awarding of the Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson and the rise of the Tea Party movement. I've taken a hard look at the American Jewish community and the internal battles in the right. And I've written on the sins of omission and commission by the mainstream media, which too often are handicapped by unexamined biases."

OK.
I saw Compost and wrote it off.
Don’t have time to follow another blogger, but go ahead and support her for as long as she stays true to the base.
Still not sure why the Compost took her on.
Forgot to add that she sounds like the same “conservatives” (Rove, et al.) who wrote off Christine in DE and Palin because they are not mainstream GOP.
Yes, “conservatives” needs to be in quotes given the context.
