Oh boy. Long Hiatus. 

I read Billmon's article on blogs today, and I love his taking a swipe at the world o' blogs at a time when the most popular of them, Atrios and Dailykos, are making a windfall. Does the advertising affect the message? I don't know, but I do remember Atrios becoming pretty complacent not long ago about this election, about the time that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth took a bite out of Kerry's lead in the polls. Was Atrios becoming just a bit too complacent with his own success perhaps? Blogging can be controversial, but perhaps what we now need it to be is revolutionary. More on this later. Here is a link to Billmon's article:
