Steve Gilliard - RIP

I read Steve Gilliard's Newsblog daily and I missed him when he took ill and I'm sad I will have to miss him forever. There have been plenty of nice things said about him already, Jon Swift has links to most of them. I don't think I ever agree with Dean Barnett but I have to agree with this.

I always thought he was the most gifted wordsmith in the left half of the blogosphere.

He was profane, angry and offensive, but also intelligent and still somehow fun.

RIP Steve!
