Epic Fail
Jon Swift — ... , which was winning in its category of Best Liberal Blog. The Confluence is a PUMA blog, which are blogs written by bitter and angry former Hillary Clinton supporters who are still getting used to the idea of having a black man in the White House. (PUMA either stands for "Party Unity My Ass" or "People Unable to Mitigate their Anger," depending on whom you ask.) Now I understand that there are many people who disagree with PUMAs, but haven't they suffered enough? Hillary lost and one day they are going to figure that out. I think we should give them a little time to adjust. Just ...

Thank You
d r i f t g l a s s — ... here at the castle, it means a lot. It means that people I respect and admire in a community that has accepted me as a member think enough of what I do and how I do it to stop by and give me a pat on the ass. And to those of us out here in the tall grass of the digital exurbs, that exchange -- irrespective of contests and awards -- counts for so very much.
