Steve Gilliard, 1964-2007
It is with tremendous sadness that we must convey the news that Steve Gilliard, editor and publisher of The News Blog, passed away June 2, 2007. He was 42.
To those who have come to trust The News Blog and its insightful, brash and unapologetic editorial tone, we have Steve to thank from the bottom of our hearts. Steve helped lead many discussions that mattered to all of us, and he tackled subjects and interest categories where others feared to tread.
Please keep Steve's friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Steve meant so much to us.
We will miss him terribly.

A big THANKS to the amazing LowerManhattanite who keeps 'em comin - THANKS LM!
(To the tune of “Doin What Comes Naturally”)
Folks are dumb where I come from,
They think gays are fer' burnin'.
Still they're bigoted as can be,
Spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!).
Wingnuts like us, we always fuss--
And keep intolerance's pot a' churnin.
Still we're proudly G-O-P,
Spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!)
You don't have to know how to read or write,
When you bash a minority in the pale moonlight.
You don't have to read my books to find--
What I think of 'em and what to do with their kind.
That comes naturally! (That comes naturally!).
Immigrants don't pay no taxes,
They're all take and no give.
Rush says that's what the facts is,
And you know he ne-ver fibs!
Virginia George got angry when
an injun taped him speakin',
Macaca'ed him, 'cause he was free—
Just spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!)
Cousin Sean has never read an al-ma-nac on thinking.
Still talks sh*t on FOX-TV,
Spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!).
Pal Michelle, our b*tch from hell, gives her own a lesson,
Hates brown folks a' com-plete-ly--
While spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!)
You don't have to go a' Bob Jones school,
To know who to blame in the scapegoat pool.
No need to wear a hood and run around,
To make it clear you wanna keep other folks down.
That comes naturally! (That comes naturally!).
My president out in Texas can't even write his name.
He signs off bills with "x's"—
But he's a genius at the racist game.
We're more than hicks, from out in the sticks,
A' bangin. our relations.
We can spell B-I-G-and-O-and-T,
While a’ spewin' what comes naturally! (Spewin' what comes naturally!).
Spewin’....intolerance--nat-u-ralll-eeeeeeeeeeeeee!
