Used to read him at least every day. But now he has to always have the last word, and it seems impossible for him to admit to any sort of bias - though, as I recall, he used to speak/write often enough of the bias of msm. He's become totally focused on torture - sort of the all-torture all-the-time blog. I've lost a lot of respect for him, but the sad thing is, I don't think he respects anyone other than himself enough anymore to really even care. I find myself in the same boat, re Andrew.

Andrew was a fresh voice with an interesting take on a lot of issues. I enjoyed his thoughts even when I didn't agree. But I can't bear to look at his blog anymore. I've got a lot of issues with Bush and the GOP but he borders on hysterical. I don't think he can make a post anymore without including the word "waterboarding". I guess his idea of an interrogation involves some hot cocoa and plush toys. (Think about the Monty Python "Spanish Inquisition" skit.) Hopefully, one of these days, he will snap out of it. I miss the old Andrew. As a gay conservative, I read Andrew’s blog for years (and made several contributions).

Now he is irrelevant to the point of not having enough facts but plenty of hysteria. Dana, It's perfectly fine to put people on the other side on the blogroll probably but my guess is that after enough vitriol or unfounded opinions or sheer nuttiness that it comes to a point of - why would you want to perpetuate falsehoods? Opinions that differ are fine. But opinions that differ based on facts that aren't true are not... in my humble opinion. I used to read him also.
