48. Bart was the man!

Mar 2016

Long time lurker first time commenter because Bart was a first read for me daily. I discovered Bartcop during the media bombast in the run up to the Iraq invasion. I remember thinking there must be others like me who see this utter fiasco for what it was, and I found a kindred spirit. Bart had a way of swinging the hammer that left no doubt and took no prisoners, his voice is dearly missed. He was a pioneer in political blogging, it was thru Bartcop that I discovered almost every progressive site that i read daily including this one. I can only imagine the joy he would find in seeing Trump sailing thru the primaries headed for the nomination. He would see Trump as the just desserts for a political party that has gone berserk. I rarely disagreed with him on context, but he could swing that hammer mighty hard sometimes.

A shot to Bartcop! Keep swinging that hammer
