The whole model of anointed commentators talking down to mostly passive readers has crumbled. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, John.
What we're witnessing here is a complete elimination of all the lines that used to define people in the past.

Somehow I suspect there will always be a place for men like John Leo. His voice is not just that of a friend, it's of a trusted partner. He'll be missed.

John Leo: one of the good ones.
He hasn't the pretentious, sanctimonious, pettiness to be a blogger though...
