The left blogosphere was rocked last week when the Hildebrand Boys received a spanking from "Erin". Now Todd Epp announces he is going into "semi-hiatus" due to various reason that unfortunately include family issues.
I hope the best for Todd’s family. I have gone through similar problems. If Todd is reading, I hope he understands that he will be better after this process is over. Still I remember how it feels like the world is crashing done all around me. I wish Todd luck and offer my support.
Todd also mentioned some issues he has with his blogging effort. It seems as though Todd’s main motivation was to use his blog as a stepping stone to a position in the Democrat Party. I think he deserves that.
With that said, I would like to point out that I have no such motivation in regard to the Republican Party. I find blogging to be a release. When I see something that I can’t believe, I can go to the blog and let it out. I think Todd should consider using his blog as a way to release his thoughts as he goes through a difficult time.
In the meantime, Todd has turned his web site over to the chicken...the so-called SDBWM. I can understand why the Democrat’s enjoy the Benedict Arnold of the South Dakota Republican Party. But I think he and Jeremy Funk are the leaders of the South Dakota blogosphere’s movement away from political discourse on the issues, where as Todd Epp has been the exact opposite. I have now removed my link to S.D. Watch.
