Title: How's Lileks?

Is he still a hoss's ass?  I had to stop reading him after he said I was unpatriotic because I didn't want to go to war with Iraq.   I remember liking him before that though.

Yeah, I drifted away for the same reasons.  For a while he was pretty good about putting his political stuff into the Screed, but it sort of bled back in to the Bleat.  Too bad.

Guy's entitled to his opinion on politics.  I'm entitled to not read it.

I don't find it difficult to skip the political parts.

The issue was for a while it was nothing but political parts. Sadly this era of the Bleat also made me like Mike Nelson less.

He kinda figured out people didn't dig that stuff so even if there's a (more rare) polito-screed in the bleat he gives plenty of warning beforehand. I tend to skim those so I can read open letters to the CEO of Best Buy snarkiness instead.

Good to know. I actually haven't read his Bleat in probably four years now. Back to it.
