This is of peripheral relevance to this particular blog, but I was sad to hear that journalist Cathy Seipp lost her battle with cancer.  I covered quite a bit of her writing while researching for my book, and while she had little positive to say about Matt Drudge (a more direct research subject) I came to enjoy her blog.  Slightly over two years ago, Cathy posted an unsolicited comment here with some helpful info on Drudge logistics; specifically, how much time a week her friend Andrew Breitbart (the only Drudge Report staff) contributed to the site’s upkeep. 

My thoughts are with her family and friends.  I’m glad I discovered her.
