Never has “Casting pearls before swine” been more apt than the last few months of Balko at Puff-Ho.

Come home Radley, that place is poison.

That Huffington site is such a bastion of leftist, progressive ideological feces. Rarely I visit as I must take a shower after wading through the bile.

Jesus, I really hate leftism, and the leftists that practice leftism.

If you are a leftist, then please, do all of humanity a favor and follow the suggestion from the theme song of the movie M.A.S.H.

Come home, Radley … we’ve left a candle burning in the window.

Just thought I might drop in to say: I miss you guys. Why I haven’t removed this site from my bookmarks bar is something of a mystery.

Neither my browser nor my stomach can tolerate HuffPo even for a few minutes, and despite myself, I keep checking back here to see if…maybe…there might be a chance that…

Concur with Roberta X. Damn, Bobbi, we keep running into each other in spite of our best efforts to the contrary!

I have a sinking feeling that HuffPo’s deal with Radley is a bit like Microsoft’s famous “embrace and extend” philosophy … giving Mr. Balko a sweet deal that ultimately was only intended to silence him.

But then I’m just a whacky conspiracy nut.

I wouldn’t mind using this last column to chat about current issues and see if he eventually chimed in.

So huff po bought the agitator but don’t even redirect the domain or anything? If huff po isn’t even using the domain why can’t radley still make personal posts? I don’t have an issue with balko posting at huff po but the whole setup is just very strange. It doesn’t apper the agitator actually moved to huff po- just that huff po gave the author of the agitator a column there and then forbade him from also having a personal blog. It all seems odd, especially considering huff po’a business model an reputation as a mill of SEO content. I’d figure they would have at least wrapped the domain name up in the deal and have it pointing there. That said, if that does happen make sure THIS blog does not cease to exist. At least get a new domain or throw it up on a free bloghost.

I am really sad that Radley moved but I am glad he’s no doubt making better money and reaching a larger audience. Go get’em fella!

I am really sad that Radley moved and I won’t get to read comments by folks like Dave K and Other Sean anymore. I have read this blog for about ten years now and though I check in at HuffPo it just isn’t the same. It looks like they have no comment section at all anymore. Sadness.

I noticed that Glenn Greenwald’s article about accountability for prosecutorial abuse on the Guardian has garnered 346 comments so far, while Radley’s equally good article on the same topic (The Power of the Prosecutor) has only attracted 13 comments on the HuffPo. Both were published today.

It’s inevitable that the HuffPo will eventually change. The only question is how long it will take for them to learn to respect their readers enough to understand that they too have something to say. I have the feeling it will take a while because I’d be willing to bet the policy was formulated by junior executive who never debated on a political forum in his life.

I <3 Dave Kruegar. an for the record….Huff comments have always been more "look at the crazy" entertaining then informative, but they went WAY downhill when AOHell bought it. AOL CDN as a script is the major suckage, so if you avoid allowing that, its bearable, but then you cannot comment, soooooo……yea. I'll read anything, any where.

You’re my hero, Dave Kruegar.

Honest.

Thanks!

Ok, Although my site was not created to be a “shadow site” for The Agitator, I will link to Agitator posts on HuffPo and people can comment on my site.

If nothing else, maybe HuffPo will relax their comment screening requirements.

I like the idea of a shadow commenting site.

I still read the stories but I don’t even look at the comments any longer.

Dave K. How can you expect to run a comment site if you can’t even get block quote thingies right?

Because, when you own the site, you have editing privileges, so you can fix all your screw-ups. So, when you think about it, owning a site is actually easier than being a visitor because mistakes are fixable.
