My friend Mike Drummond, a pretty hard-core trad-J type, has started a blog. He includes pictures!

He’s in Baghdad.

Drummond and I go way back … competing against each other for front page play and who could write a 12-inch story the fastest back when we were the Woodword and Bernstein of The Daily Californian, where we both met our wives and stirred up trouble for mayors and city managers.

When he’s not a reporter in Iraq, he’s a reporter in Charlotte for the Observer.
