It's a sad day. The author of JonSwift at blogspot is dead. I wanted to do an extended obituary. Unfortunately, even with my Google skills ... I just couldn't come up with much of anything he's accomplished in life. At least we can take some solace in knowing he probably enjoyed a life of quiet desperation.
I'd link him ... but, what's the point? His stuff wasn't really all that good when he was alive.
RIP

Jon Swift is a great satirical writer. His blog and Amazon book reviews are hilarious. I know if you keep writing Dan you'll eventually get up to his level. (You should link to the post of his you refer to so people know what the hell you are talking about. You know the one about Michael Ledeen? It's a fantastic read!)

And you too, Dan.

It's not your Google skills, buddy. It's your writing skills.
Jon Swift does brilliant satire. You can barely write a complete sentence.
