Am I the last to realize that Firedoglake became Shadowproof?

FWIW, I thought Gosztola and Wright were the best columnists at FDL. I always smiled at the references here at DU to "firebaggers" because, in the end, Hamsher and the regular columnists were all, worst case for the Democratic Party, advocates of LOTE voting. They were simply more critical than some. I don't think a Stepford citizenry is a good thing.

Obviously, I much prefer DU. However, I wish Shadowproof and its contributors the best. The more leftist and leftish voices on the internet and elsewhere, the better for humanity in general, IMO.

Bon voyage, Shadowproof!

1. I found out not that long ago.

I was on the Nicole Sandler chat, and somebody mentioned it.

It never hurts to scan different sites a couple of times a day, in addition to what passes through Latest Threads here.

5. I wonder how old Hamsher is.

I had to have a hip replaced at 56 years old.

6. She recently turned 56 and had the hip replacement nine months ago. So, dang close.
