Monty Blackwood | Senior Editorialist – The Post Meridiem Post

Monty Blackwood is the Post Meridiem Post’s Senior Editorialist and premier scholar of collapsing empires, broken glassware, and Senate hearings he no longer pretends to understand. A fixture of the Beltway’s lesser cigar lounges and most haunted book clubs, Monty writes with the conviction of a man who once declared a filibuster at a wedding reception.

With a career spanning five decades, three currencies, and at least one military tribunal, Monty has filed reports from imagined war zones, whispered revolutions, and the D.C. suburbs — which he insists are all equally dangerous. His columns offer baroque dissections of American decline, usually delivered through metaphors involving vintage cutlery or imperial misadventure.

When he is not writing, Monty can be found shouting at framed maps, rereading the preface to Democracy in America, or glaring at tech startups from across the street. He is not online. He is simply… around.
