Today, ComingAnarchy.com turns two years old. (See the first birthday post here.) This blog started as a joint venture between Younghusband and myself in September 2004. Chirol joined us in April 2005, in which the site was remodeled with the current “Victorian-Pagan” site design. As we enter our third year of operation and more readers than ever (approximately 100,000 hits a month), we’re hoping to expand our coverage. And we want our readers to help.
Here’s the deal: we sufficiently cover North America, East Asia, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. But Central Asia and Africa are neglected, while Latin America, India, Southeast Asia and Oceania are all but ignored. We’re hoping a new contributor can maintain the “Think Pagan” approach with better regional coverage.
Requirements:
- A native english speaker fluent in at least one foreign language;
- Experience living and traveling overseas;
- An area of regional focus (ex: Latin America, India, and Southeast Asia/Oceania);
- Minimum six months blogging experience;
- Moderate proficiency in Photoshop or Fireworks;
- A “pessimistic realist” political outlook;
- An appreciation for the work of Robert D. Kaplan.
Responsibilities:
- Internet anonymity, using a Victorian statesman/explorer/diplomat as your alias; and
- Blog regularly on relevant topics at a site read by 2,000-3,000 people daily.
Compensation & Benefits:
- A “@cominganarchy.com” email address.
Minority Hiring:
- Preference given to applicants not of North American citizenship.
Suggestions, trackbacks, or nominations are welcome. Or feel free to use the contact form.

While I am a lightweight in the ring with 20-30 heavyweights, I love this place.
I know of no other forum with such insight, admiration of Kaplan and credibility - as well as a sense of humor!
And a whole cast of rich, interesting regulars.
If I knew Urdu instead of French, and my last trip was to the Sindh rather than the Pacific NW I would assume the persona of Sir Richard Francis Burton. You guys need an audacious if not reckless adventurer skilled in a dozen or more Near Eastern tongues. Alas, that would be highly presumptious of me so good luck in your recruitment efforts! And you always have that dashing explorer Younghusband! Cheers to CA!

No, no. But, if you remember later when he returns to the bar, he is given accolades as everyone realizes what he has done. To me, CA is a place to come see a lot Lawrences coming in to share their experience and I'm like one of the clueless clerks working in Cairo (minus the looking down the nose at the 'natives' part). So, I offer my lemonade and ice to the lot of you, eager to hear your stories (and that of the commenters).
Perhaps I should have said Rick's Cafe Ameicain.

Lawrence: "Good to be back."
Clerk: "I'll believe you, sir."
