The Reaper can bite me

For some time, I was vaguely contemplating writing a post about left-wing bloggers whom I used to read regularly, but who ultimately annoyed me too much to keep going with. One of these was Amanda Marcotte; another was Steve Gilliard. And...that's about it, really.

Well, now THAT post is never gonna happen, because, after a long history of medical problems, Steve died yesterday at the comparatively tender age of forty-one. And that really sucks--as much as he might have annoyed me at times, he was a smart, committed guy, a forceful writer, and unequivocally on the side of the angels. And I guess that's really all I have to say about that.
