Allahpundit will be taking a well-deserved week off starting today, and that usually means a lot more work for me and the Green Room contributors — but this week, it means a special treat for all of us.  We have five guest bloggers that will publish their thoughts this week at Hot Air, and I’m excited to be working with them:

• Mary Katharine Ham
• John McCormack
• Ed Driscoll
• The Anchoress
• Patrick Ishmael

Patrick Ishmael will focus on Headlines duties, and Amy the Intern will be pitching in there as well.  I may wind up losing some productivity myself this week in keeping up with what they’re writing!  Be sure to give them a warm welcome, and keep your eyes peeled and your browser locked into Hot Air.
