Jon Swift

The satirist Jon Swift/Al Weisel was my favorite blogger. He regularly made me laugh until my sides hurt and, as others said, gave me something to hold onto during the Bush years (I should mention that he was a liberal, but he freely linked to anyone and just as freely skewered the deserving on either side). I wish I had known him in person. For any satire afficionados out there, a link. I recommend the best of to start.
