Don't go, Denny

I actually know who Dennis York is and have not revealed it; not wanting to tug on Superman’s cape, spit into the wind, or pull the mask off the ole Lone Ranger.

York and Playground Politics are among the best commentary out there, or here, in cyber-chat land. And while I have a fairly good system of deciphering who the anonymous are, including PP, I would rather be entertained by their creativity than educated with their identities.

Which brings me back to Saving Private York - the story of sacrifice.

Sacrifice is a holy endeavor. Since DY nailed me to the cross of writing a terrible blog, (too much Bert Blyleven for the flannel-pants one), I offer Free Will up for sacrifice.

It takes a lot of brain cells to write a blog on a daily basis and the reward is what, watching a rolling site meter that badly trails Jessica McBride or Xoff?

Those two are real reporters, with real journalistic writing skills. I'm just a Blue Collar Kid From Janesville with a thing for Will Rogers - interested in the world and see the ridiculousness in everything.

Dennis owes more to his readers than I do mine. Besides, by sacrificing Free Will, I free-up several libel lawyers to pursue other First Amendment practitioners.
