Thanks for all the good times I had here. There is a German saying ‘Humor ist wenn man trotzdem lacht’. It kind of means ‘humor is laughing in spite of it’. Difficult to translate the joke. Hope you know what I mean. Don’t leave us with all the crazies!

Robin of Berkeley (whom I love) called, and said it is highly inadvisable to use blog readers as therapists and blogposts as therapy sessions. Part of me is reading this post like it’s an obituary and “if you can’t say anything nice . . . .” There are just a handful of blogs that are a financial success. The talented Captain Ed has hooked up with best selling author Malkin and does a fine job with HotAir. The talented Stacy McCain scrambles to do reporting and blogging and begging for tip jar support, and gives the impression that it’s a real struggle to make a living at it. Relative newcomer Donald Douglas at americanpowerblog.blogspot.com openly confesses that he’s not blogging to make a living, he holds his steady job and blogs voraciously as an avocation. For 5 cents, Charlie Brown’s Lucy would tell you to separate your livelihood from blogging. And the entrepreneur in me is asking, why haven’t you focused your considerable talents to rush publish an Obama/Acorn exposé, and use your broadcast experience to hit the book tours.

I make a decent living writing and editing for American Thinker and Pajamas Media. I am not concerned about my livelihood as much as I am about the toll that blogging takes mentally and emotionally.

Thanks for writing Rick. I find you to be one of the most well reasoned writers in the blogosphere. Maybe I don’t get around that much but the web is a richer place because of you. If you keep writing I will keep reading.

Cheers

A bit late to the party this might be, but a very sincere congratulations on five years of educating, entertaining, and pissing people off! Seriously, just stay true to your work, and your work will stay true to you.

Long time reader, rare poster…I used to have dozens of blogs I followed and read daily, but both my patience (and my time) for reading online drivel has dwindled steadily over the last few years.

I keep coming back here for some reason (maybe it IS Chuck’s comments). At any rate, thanks for the work you’ve done up to this point with this blog. And I wish you and your cats the best (although I’m a dog person and loathe cats).

You being a curmudgeon is why we keep on coming back.

Seriously, congrats on going 5 years.

I’ve only recently been reading your blog and I’ve never posted here before but I have some, admittedly unasked for, advice that I would like to share.

Take some time off. A week, or a month, and not only don’t write anything but as much as possible don’t even follow the news. Then after you’ve taken some time off ask yourself if you still want to do this.

Continuing to do something that is contently bringing you down makes no sense.

I wish you well, Dale…
