Behind Closed Ovens for one.

Concurred. I’ve never seen a blog bleed to death before.

So much great writing leaving. So much Sam Biddle staying.

That would be too thoughtful, I think.

Can Gawker just list off all the people they’ve fired instead of this Cleveland-like sadness parade where I keep going into a column I enjoy to find out that it’s the last entry?
