MISS
I know he's not coming back. I know. But it seemed so
final when I read
this post that I actually began to cry. His was the first blog I ever read. His was the first blog I checked every morning. He was the one who catapulted me into blogging about a year ago. And he has given me something for which I will always be grateful: the slow, painful journey of learning how to think.
I just miss him, that's all.

It's always sad when your blogfather goes away.

Because by definition according to Frank J., your blogfather is the one who got you into blogging.

::sigh:: A giant.. gnawed by rats.
He was my first blog too..... In some ways he was our Mark Twain.. prolific.. with that touch of greatness.

I only removed him from my blogroll yesterday...
It's a big loss, though it would have been even worse before Wretchard got started.
Still, I miss those mile-long posts full of huge thoughts that would send me into hour-long Googling and reading sprees. I still remember the one and only time he linked to me, too. -smug-
Let's hope Steven can get back to blogging again, sans ankle-biters.

He'll return, no one can resist the darkside....
Wait until after the election when all the vile bile has been spewed. His own interests will require him to write, and once it is written, there is nothing left to do but post.

The fact that he's putting his energies into writing about anime has me agog. Not that *I* should say anything, but it is still rather like finding out Stephen Hawking has decided to set aside his work on black holes in order to delve deeply into the intricacies of Magic: The Gathering.

CATCH UP
We had access to CNN World on our TV, so we watched it periodically to get an idea of what was going on in the world. I never watch the news, so the whole thing was quite infuriating. There were several times I wanted to throw something at the news anchors for the obvious way they were leading their interviewees (One guy badgered the Nigerian president with the same question asked four different ways because he wasn't getting the answer he wanted to hear. And then he shrugged and basically accused the president of lying!) I wanted to rip the larynx out of
Richard Quest.
I started trying to catch up on everything I've missed this week, but I realized it was futile. If you can think of something that I should read that was posted or was not presented on CNN World this week (heh), then mention it in the comments and I'll check it out.

Sounds like you had my dream vacation. Vacations should be about relaxing; trips are for seeing things.
VDH had an editorial in this week's OpinionJournal. DenBeste is still gone;(, Whittle is getting ready--his page was blank yesterday, Rev. Sensing of One Hand Clapping is also taking leave of the blogoshere
That's just off the top of my head.

I suffered through Quest's appearances last year when I was in the Middle East. Even the Brits don't much care for him.

Quest went from the BBC to CNN. I guess the Beeb wasn't Marxist enough for him!

To the cheers of chickenhawks throughout America today in Iraq the thousandth America soldier gave up his life thereby becoming another American hero to the flag waving zealots for tax cuts and cheap oil.

HELP
OK, I need help. I've been looking for over an hour for an article I read the other day on someone's blog. It was a study of how the economy does not have a significant effect on crime. I'm getting really frustrated that I can't retrace my steps; does anyone else know which article I'm talking about?

Ugh, I think I read that one also, and cannot remember where. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loses track of all the threads I follow.
I'll try to find where I read it before as well.
Hope you and your mom are having a blast!

The gold medal goes to Karishma! Thank you. One of my former students is writing a paper about the relationship between the economy and crime, and I wanted to point this out but couldn't find it again for the life of me.
