A huge blogiversary (I think Skippy coined that one too)
Posted by Jill | 10:15 PM
If I were an envious sort of person, I'd be pea green at how the Group News Blog folks have managed to take what ought to be an impossible task -- carrying on for the late Steve Gilliard -- and not just make it work, but do it in a blue feathered dress, backwards, and in heels.

In perhaps the greatest example of turning lemons into lemonade in the history of the blogosphere, GNB has become as much a mandatory reading stop as The News Blog was.

And the GNB'ers are great people, too.

Just one of their many accomplishments has been to get credentialed for the Democratic National Convention in Denver. But sending a staff to the convention costs money. If you can, go help them out, even if it's five bucks.

If you can't, go wish them a happy blogiversary anyway. Because having them on the case means the void left in sane discourse with the silencing of Steve Gilliard is just a little less gaping.
