Been absent for a week due to Lent [View all]

See I missed the women studies porn star and much back and forth on Crimea. But the death of bartcop is the biggest news to me personally. The man's site kept me going in the dark days of the stolen 2000 election and the war of aggression against Iraq, when I saw my country morphing into something I didn't recognize. I will admit I stopped reading him as much when he was a Hillary man and I an Obama supporter. But Coppage was the shit. He was on the cutting edge of the early liberal blogger. He and Media Whores Online (the horse). I am deeply saddened by his passing and will send a donation to his family. I do not have the words to express how important his early work was to my mental health.

RIP - Bartcop.
