Andrew Sullivan Sends His Regards

++Andrew Sullivan sent out an email to Dish subscribers letting you know one of his editors will handle digital matters at Politico and the other editing at the Atlantic. Andrew is resting ,getting around DC,enjoying being a married man and thinks we are a community. And he's learning to read books more slowly.

++Andrew can rest this year but he owes his Dish fans a return in 2016--even if to close out the Obama years with a bang.

++Unlike me ,he solicited and got alot of informed feedback on his pieces. He actually created an internet forum where people were relatively well-behaved and could actually debate issues.

++A repentant neo-conservative ,he wondered whether Rand Paul might be the savior of the GOP. Sorry, Andrew, it's obvious he is not. He's abandoned almost ever position you thought libertarians had going for them.

++I feel we are missing Andrew from the debate. I missed his comments on the whole Bibi fiasco and the Iran nuclear deal. 

++And we don't get him when the Supreme Court rules on same sex marriage, an idea he pioneered in the 1980s.

++The Dish provided a space with the best in poetry and endless contemplations on religion, which would be a good antidote now with the GOP candidates pretending to be clergy.

++It's too bad we don't have the Dish as a product anymore. I'm not so sure one can say a community. I'm reluctant to call anything on the Internet a community.

++Look what we have lost or are losing. Stephan Colbert,Dave Letterman,Jon Stewart and Andrew Sullivan. So who's going to provide us the news? Or wry comments on the goings on in America?

++Come Back, Andrew, Please Come Back, Shane.
