We are saddened to report, by way of Blue Gal and Tom Watson, that faux conservative blogger and brilliant satirist Jon Swift passed away. I corresponded with him a few times, and I always found him to be a complete delight (not to mention a riot).

Charles Swift, the JAG lawyer who bravely defended Hamdan and won his case before the Supreme Court, was denied a promotion and now must leave the Navy:

Oh, no! He was brilliant. How old was he?
Well that's absolutely lousy news. My condolences to his family and friends.
Heartbreaking news. Swifty was a true mensch.
He was a brilliant writer and a sly wit. I will miss reading his works.
It is amazing how many people have been touched by his Blogging character. Everywhere I look there is or was a post on this. Still a little sad over this. :(
