Editor's Note: Blog Name Change

If you have been reading, and you probably haven't given the stats of our readership, you will notice that our name has changed. What used to be Blax Alternate is now called The United States of Alexander. We grew tired of the old name, and thought it might be too vague, too left leaning in sound, or too something that some people can't quite put their fingers on. (Did someone say Blacks?).

We hope to make a sustained effort at writing more under this new banner, but with the focus remaining the same. That means we will continue to say what we can about the political and financial landscape in the United States, but with our own meanderings tossed into the mix. While we have also always intended to focus on events happening in China as well, we have not always thrown much effort or thought in that direction, and that should change.

It has crossed our minds that it might be a good idea to offer monthly cash prizes for those who register and regularly comment on the blog in insightful fashion, thus inspiring greater participation. That still might happen, but for now we hope the writing itself continues to draw interest. We encourage readers to register and add your thoughts.

Thanks!
