RIP: Steve Gilliard

It's with great sadness that we note the passing of blogger Steve Gilliard. He's been sick for a while, and a week or so ago, the family declared a news blackout, so we figured it wasn't good. Gilliard was a smart guy, particularly on issues of military history and strategy (and, err, macaroni and cheese), and his blog was the first "other" place I checked often.

Peace, Steve. We'll keep fighting in your stead.

I've always really admired him and his work, and my best wishes go out to his family.

Gilliard was, IMHO, the best pure writer in the "blogosphere."

You can still access the archives of his site at his old Blogspot address:

Oh, yeah - FUCK THE FUCKING YANKEES!!!
