Lotsa peeps are asking why “KJL” is now “K. J. Lopez.” It’s a belated new year’s change. The suits told me I finally put in enough hours to officially earn more per-inch space on The Corner (it’s a very technical equation in the NR contract). So there we are. Or perhaps we’ll hold a poll–folks seem to actually have opinions on the matter, of course, because Corner readers are just always thinking.

Of course, to be perfectly honest, I just did it (without any real forethought) and have been cutting and pasting since. Yo’all know me as K-Lo anyway, based on run-ins at Fado’s last week, so maybe I’ll just legally change my name.
