Retiring as champion.

Posted by apostropher

It looks like Billmon is hanging up his blogging cleats. That would be an immeasurable loss for the left end of blogland, as he has always been one of the smartest and most prescient voices we have.

If this really is last call at the Whiskey Bar, thanks a million and you'll be sorely missed.

Update: And just like that, the site is gone. For the time being, the google cache still holds the second link, "An Iraq Retrospective." Read it before it vanishes, too.

Didn't this already happen a couple of years ago?

Let's hope that he reconsiders again. You are absolutely correct, A, he is the crux of the blog biscuit.

I'm going to play Super Furry Animals' "Juxtaposed With U" in tribute.

As a non-blogging visitor of blogs, I am boggled by the amount of time it takes to blog at all. But to do it and have done it that well? Wow.
