Special Comment

There have been two massive losses to the blogging world in the last month.

Steve Gilliard passed away on June 2nd, and I'm still reminded of the loss every time I look at the linkbar in my browser. This week I find that Jim Capozzola, caretaker of Mildred and the proprietor of the eponymous Rittenhouse Review has also left us as well.

How I wish both of them were around to have seen this, the latest Special Comment from Kieth Olbermann:

In that moment, Mr. Bush, you broke that fundamental compact between yourself and the majority of this nation’s citizens — the ones who did not cast votes for you.

In that moment, Mr. Bush, you ceased to be the President of the United States.

In that moment, Mr. Bush, you became merely the President... of a rabid and irresponsible corner of the Republican Party.

Read all the way to the end, it's well worth your time.

Things have been extraordinarily weird for me personally for a while, but they may be getting better towards the middle of the month. In the meanwhile, enjoy today's Achewood—we must make this vision a reality.
