Tell Me It Isn't True

++Thoughtful, provocative and the only one who gives you shots of scrotums, Andrew Sullivan, the father of same sex marriage, has announced today at The Dish he is retiring from blogging after 15 years to spend more time away from the digital world to be a human being again. He alluded to health issues and assured readers they have nothing to do with his HIV positive status. He mentions his husband as a widower to blogging and his parents are still alive and he wants to spend some time with them.

++He has built The Dish solely on individual subscribers and done well. He is a must read for this blogger and provides a needed balance in a polarized digital world.

++I could have done with less religion on Sunday but his poetry sections and reviews of the latest books made it worthwhile. 

++He embedded cutting edge films and loopbacks at our video history that no one has done.

++What will happen with The Dish hasn't been announced yet. In recent months a younger staff of editors have ably assumed control with Andrew periodically chiming in on something he found important.

++Thanks for making a dreary political landscape interesting, amusing and providing some sparks of enlightenment.
