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.

Bump in the Beltway's Melanie: "Things that make me go grrrrr"



It's always a risk having your image
appear under the words "Bone Health"


Thanks, Melanie! Hilarious and true!

Is it just me, or is that Boniva commercial with Sally Field not the most annoying ad in a world of annoying ads? The whole notion that "setting aside time" once a week to take a pill is onerous is ridiculous. I "set aside time" every morning to take my multivitamin. It takes 5 seconds with my juice in the morning. Selling this drug (which is a good drug, I guess) to women this way makes us look like complete ninnies.
