Jon Swift, RIP

Posted on March 3, 2010 by mikethemadbiologist

We are saddened to report, by way of Blue Gal and Tom Watson, that faux conservative blogger and brilliant satirist Jon Swift passed away. I corresponded with him a few times, and I always found him to be a complete delight (not to mention a riot).

    Heartbreaking news. Swifty was a true mensch.

  4. Tangled Up in Blue Guy – Minnesota – I am a blogger who has been on hiatus. I don't have a host site for tuibguy.com at the present time, and so I have decided to come back to this fallback site in order to return to my blogging. My writing may not be up to snuff for a while as I get back into practice, but please world, know that I have missed you something fierce.

    He was a brilliant writer and a sly wit. I will miss reading his works.

But these times have demanded action both in the biggest think tank on earth - the Blogosphere - and out in the real world. For decades, activism has seemed like a rudderless ship and, for years, Blogging has been about sitting around screaming at the wind. Done together and correctly - Blogivism - can pilot the ship through the worst storms. "Life sucks... Too bad it doesn't swallow." US Army Veteran and unabashed LIBERAL.

    It is amazing how many people have been touched by his Blogging character. Everywhere I look there is or was a post on this. Still a little sad over this. 🙁
