My dear friend, Bill, author of One's Man Journey and View from the Cheap Seats, has chosen to take down his blogs.
Although Bill is conservative, he is a good friend of mine, and he would always give food for thought, even when we disagreed.
Another conservative blog that appears to have gone by the wayside is the Crocodile Cage. I enjoyed debating with Reaganite, and miss his insight.
I hope both of these gentlemen are in good health and all is well with them.
Unfortunately, their absences leave the Cheddarsphere a duller place.

ReplyDeleteCapper, why can you not just say, "Bill is a good friend of mine," rather than, "Although Bill is a conservative?"
What's the difference? Why must that be pointed out?
I mean, really...some of my best friends are "liberals." Sheesh.
Oh, Janet,
ReplyDeleteI'm just highlighting the fact that even though Bill and I don't agree on all the issues, we are still friends. Just like you and I are.
