I have some sad news to report. Longtime Frog Ponder, billjpa, died unexpectedly on Thursday. His daughter dropped me an email to let me know and to tell me how much Bill had enjoyed the site. I always enjoyed Bill’s passion. He was always up on the latest outrage and appropriately upset about it. In his last comment here he told another commenter to “Get your head out of you know where,” said Obama was failing to give people fair trials, and declared that we’re all screwed. That, and a determination not to ever use spellcheck, were Bill’s defining features in his over four years of participation at the site. I am going to miss him a lot, as I know many of you will, as well. Our thoughts are with his family during this holiday season. I hope they are comforted to know how much joy he brought to us over the years.
