Mike's Blog Round Up
April 9, 2017

Thank you, Crooks and Liars, for letting me be your guide to the blog-o-sphere this week, and what a week it was! From amply be-chinned Mitch McConnell destroying 200+ years of the Senate comity and tradition, to Bill-O's fleeing advertisers (50 at last count!) to the on-going investigation of Rep. Nunes/The Russian Usurper, to the Orange Menace attacking Syria, to, well, everything else. Thank you also to the 35 or so bloggers who gave us the hottest of hot takes, and some of the smartest, funniest, and insightful commentary of the week. We really are in a golden age of blogging.
