A quick welcome to the OTB front page to new contributor, regular contributor, the pseudonymous Kingdaddy.
I have known Kingdaddy for more than thirty years (which doesn’t seem possible, but there it is). He has a Ph.D. in Political Science, although he currently works outside of academia. His academic expertise is specifically in the realm of national security policy. He is also an expert on gaming and simulations.
He has blogged both about politics and gaming over the years. His previous blog about politics was Arms and Influence.
Steven L. Taylor is a retired Professor of Political Science and former College of Arts and Sciences Dean. His main areas of expertise include parties, elections, and the institutional design of democracies. His most recent book is the co-authored A Different Democracy: American Government in a 31-Country Perspective. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Texas and his BA from the University of California, Irvine. He has been blogging since 2003 (originally at the now defunct Poliblog).

Thank you for the very kind welcome! It’s an honor to be able to post here.
Welcome to the top line!
Welcome!
(Though I don’t know about how pseudonymous he actually is given his name is on the top of his “About” page on his old blog).
Welcome! Your first post was a great start!
Although you are, of course, eternally youthful Steven, I can stretch my imagination to believe that you’ve known someone for 30 years.
I look forward to irritating the new guy.
Welcome!
@Michael Reynolds: My marriage turns 30 next Tuesday, so there’s that (and KingDaddy was in the wedding!).
Looking forward to seeing your regular submissions. Welcome!
Welcome Kingpapa. Look forward to your posts and assume you have thick skin.
Hello.
Now let me tell you why you are mistaken….
@Steven L. Taylor:
Aww. You and KingDaddy make a cute couple. Here’s hoping that 30 years is just the beginning.
@Gustopher: I walked into that one
Oh, this is going to be fun!
Welcome Kingdaddy. Looking forward to your contributions :-).
Great to have a third voice!
