I stop by once in a while to read the blog but it seems to be the same 3-4 people talking to each other all the time. Yeah, I know I could respond and add something but it almost feels like I'd be imposing on a private conversation. Guys, this isn't the same blog it was over the summer. Seriously, has everyone left...including the right wingnuts? So, how many bloggers are left at DL?

I noticed the commenters that came with him haven't been around in a while as well (DG and VC). If he has, I'd like to check it out. Open question: has your former contributor launched his blog yet?

I can't believe such a thin-skinned individual has made it as far in politics as she has so far. Does she really think she can stand the scrutiny of a real presidential campaign? I say no way she really runs, I think she's too lazy to do it. Sarah Palin responds because she’s a small-minded and self-absorbed person.

Every time I've been on a plane the stewardesses tell you to turn them off because they might interfere with the flight controls and stuff. I call bullshit on that.

I haven't read her response, but I do have to say: WHY RESPOND? Levi has only the amount of star power you give him. By continuing the feud aspect of this story (and that is what responding to him does), it feeds the story and makes Levi a bigger "star" in our horrible media's eyes.

Cut-and-run Sarah would have been better off giving him joint custody of his son. Instead, she ticked him off and now he's learning all about public revenge. And getting paid for it!
