Hey guys and gals!
I apologize for my extended absence, Netroots Nation and a wedding this weekend have kept me on the run. Which is a great segue to the changes that will be going on here.
It turns out that while promoting a book full-time, fulfilling some previously made consulting obligations and actively helping raise a 21-month old, I can’t also be on top of political news 24/7 to the level that you deserve here. At least if I plan on sleeping at least 5 hours a night.
Which I generally like to do.
So I am going to pass the torch on to a new generation. I’ll be turning over the keys of the day-to-day operation to John Gorenfeld, who is a briliant journalist and author (he wrote a fantastic book on the Rev. Moon, Bad Moon Rising, that you should all own to really understand just how crazy the modern GOP is).
Now don’t get teary-eyed on me. I ain’t going nowhere. I will remain a regular contributor to this site. But it will be become "The Campaign Silo" and John will take over the day-to-day.
Thanks to our loyal readers out there. And keep reading darn it! Because it will only get better, I promise ya that.
Now let’s return to our regularly scheduled program.

About FDL Action
Great news Cliff. Not to say I don’t look forward to your posts on McCain. Given what we’ve seen so far, I suspect there will be plenty more gaffes and exposures for you to comment on.
Just to let you know that I try to read all the posts on FDL and really enjoy yours. I’ll keep tuning in to the Silo. Even if you don’t see comments all the time, it doesn’t mean the posts aren’t being read and appreciated.
Look forward to things as they move forward.
Thanks for the kind welcome; and don’t nobody go nowhere. The adventure begins 07.23.08. Tips welcome.
Good to meet ya, John. Looking forward to your posts.
What?!?!? You want to have a life of your own? Unacceptable!
Seriously though, thanks for all the great work to date, I look forward to your future contributions.
Welcome John!
kids will screw up your leisure AND work life.
but they reward you in the end.
Anybody who says Obama gets more coverage than McCain hasn’t been to the campaign silo yet! Keep up the great job Cliff and now John!
John, I loved loved loved Bad Moon Rising – still see Moonies under every rock Welcome to the Schecter wing of the Lake.
Enjoy the wee one while he is still wee, Cliff, and remember – life is short, but the days and nights are long.
Thanks for launching The Silo, Cliff, and thanks to John for taking it on. This is a really important part of FDL. Looking forward to seeing you around the Lake!
Moon’s helicopter crash and Gorenfeld’s announcement today…a coincidence? Does God have suicidal tendencies?
good luck and best wishes cliff.
Thanks so much for all the kind words folks. And as I said, I won’t be gone, just not here quite as often. I promise to keep some posts coming, and John will dazzle you each and every day I am sure….
So thanks again and I look forward to our continuing conversation!
John Gorenfeld! Welcome. Thrilled to see you out here and really looking forward to your thoughts on the election.
Thanks for a lot of hard work and some very prescient dilligent coverage of Johnny Mc. I look forward to further comments and publications.
Good choice, Cliff. I miss Iapprovethismessiah.com. I hope, in his writings on this site, John keeps shining the bright light on the various Moonies and cultists occupying positions of power in our government.
Good take a rest now we will need you for the debates and if McCain ever gets any news coverage again somehow. Of course for McCain the less America knows about the real John McCain the better.
So is FDL going after the False Messiah Moon! (Sharpens Knives)
Enjoy the 21-month old….won’t be long and that little person will be a 21-year-old. I’ve enjoyed your posts.
