The passing

Andrew Sullivan semi-retires from blogging. His premium Blog Ads cost US$3,200 a month and the standard ones US$1,300 a month. Do they get refunds? What about those that donated to his pledge drive? Do they get half their money back?

Caveat emptor.

Unless Sullivan's even more of a diva than we thought, I think you have an extra digit of some kind in that premium ad price.

You can check at his site - those are the correct numbers. Makes me think maybe I should start taking ads...

Before, your post said $32000, didn't it? I know that reading you correctly isn't my strong suit this week, but it gave me a double-take, and I counted. :) If it's corrected, then fine. Sullivan's doing quite enough to warrant criticism lately without having his fees inflated by a factor of 10.

There was a typo in the draft, but I thought I had edited it before posting. Perhaps not. Either way it's a lot of money.

I used to read Sully every day, but soon became disenchanted with his Kerryesque evolution. You get what you pay for and I'm sure a lot of the Democratic support loved seeing a rightie swing left.
