Just out of curiosity I clicked on the Eurotrib blogroll link to Flogging the Simian. Following her ‘farewell from blogging’ posts in late September, soj took her site down and hasn’t posted here since.
But guess what? Three weeks later, FTS reappeared (with the monkey and woman changing positions!) and soj has posted some excellent pieces on the manufacturing of an Iran ‘crisis’, on blogging, and a variety of other subjects.
It’s worth checking out. Guess the writing urge was just too powerful.

Update [2005-10-24 7:2:6 by canberra boy]:
Soj has returned to the frontpage at European Tribune with her EuroPDB. Seems I tumbled to her continued on-line existence just as she was about to reveal it!
Come back to BT, soj, all is forgiven!
Thanks Canberra, I was shocked to hear this! 😉

Good Night … Beautiful U.S. West Coasters
Welcome and Good Morning Europe!
What’s hitting the Good News wires in European countries on this cool Monday morning?
U.K. parrot from Suriname – in quarantine – was infected with H5N1 Avian flu virus from Asian birds at same U.K. location!

Excuse canberra boy …
should have been linked to Soj’s PDB diary on H5N1 Avian flu.
BTW – outstanding query if you still feel to formulate your thoughts on issue.
Thanks for posting this diary.

I think this tops Mark Twain’s “rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated”!
Welcome back, soj!!!
hey my compadre! I was just talking about you the other day… okay, typing… Madman rekindled my interest in Venezuela and I was upset you weren’t around to cover the developments as well…
So good to see you back in action & I hope all is well.
cheers,

What a great way to start the week-with the return of a favorite writer!
Great news. Welcome back, Soj!
Glad our family is back together again! Missed your pieces, soj and was glad to see them back up at DKos.
Hot damn…what great news. I have to confess that I haven’t made it to Eurotrip much lately and I sooooo missed soj’s daily briefing(felt my IQ points dropping every day for lack of that). Certainly will have to make a point to get back over there more often.
Nothing against all the absolutely great people over there but soj’s roundup when I didn’t have time to do much else there was what sucked me in to checking there every day.
Blinkety blankety I am so happy something good finally happened today, just before it ended (the 24th). It was my birthday and I saw, in the middle of cranking out a midterm for my students. . . soj! Wonderful! Counselor!. . .ok, not exactly the moment for Handel, and I do have bezillion more of this cursed things to assemble, having gotten 2 papercuts in the process.
But I am very glad to see your lovely name appearing here, in the vapor of thought and emotion that connects so many, soj.
Keep coming back, please!
Happy birthday Kidspeak…and what about the ‘Cheney leak’, leak today for making your birthday better….
Best wishes!!!
Thanks, Diane. I’ll believe Cheney’s really in trouble when I see him resign – don’t want to get my hopes up!
