Gilliard In the NYT

While Matt Bai got some things wrong, I think it's tremendous that Steve Gilliard got his own profile in the NYT's end-of-the-year obits. He is still missed.

RIP Steve Gilliard

That's really sad. I didn't read The News Blog religiously, but I would check in on occasion, and it just feels bad to have a member of the progressive blogosphere pass away before his time. I spend so much time immersed in blogs that the personalities are something akin to close freindships or even family.

My deep condolences to his loved ones. Hard to know what to say at a time like this.
