I was just sitting down here at Jack O'Toole World Headquarters to pick a nit with one of Atrios' posts when it suddenly occurred to me that I've never mentioned the guy when I wasn't picking a nit. You'd almost think I didn't agree with about 99% of what he writes.

So there'll be no DLC-style nitpicking today. Just a link. And a long overdue tip of the hat to a fierce fellow Democrat and a first class blogger.
