Houston, we are go for launch

I'm terribly excited about the impending launch of Au Contraire! ... and it looks like we're ready to go for late next week.

"Four Americans, four opinions, one blog" -- each week, we'll address one issue from libertarian (me), liberal (Toby), conservative (Morg) and independent/moderate (Barbara) perspectives. We plan to write to newspaper op-ed length with a view toward getting our columns picked up by the "mainstream" media -- Blogosphere/MSM synergy, so to speak.

This is going to be fun.
