It's Vic's Wit As Much Or More Than the News
Have now read the comments, and the many kudos to Vic's work. Another 2¢ worth of my thoughts.
On my blog-heap (mindfulwebworks.com/blog-heap) I don't have all the hot news, but I link to several news link listsk - at Gates of Vienna, Maggie's Farm, Political Hat, and recently started including MisHum's morning headlines. Vic topped every day, that he posted.
But, as several have noted above, it's Vic's wit as much or more than the news that made it great. No comparison with any other.
It doesn't seem that Vic wore out, either, but that the morning blog posts became unaccommodating. Vic has been griping about this for some time, so his giving up is not unexpected.
The commenters are unanimous in concern about this. The management, not so much. Commenters can appreciate the feeling - like a Republican conservative and the GOPe.
