The popular, link-laden liberal politics blog Norwegianity is shuttering its virtual doors soon. Prolific lefty firebrand Mark Gisleson is burned out, and he's announced that "at soon as Obama conclusively wraps up the nomination," he's done. But he's left a few sparkling prose examples.

Gisleson's noted for his fervent assaults on the current regime, and hopes the next administration will help us move beyond certain phenomena:

America needs to grow up and put the regressive and childish Bush administration behind us. And toward that end, my aggressive and insulting partisan rhetoric isn't helpful.

Not that even this sort-of-goodbye post is bereft of the aggro and pointed bon mot, however. Here just one example of something to remember the blog by:

As I've already said, the Baby Boomers have fucked things up beyond recognition. Hell, we fucked up beyond FUBAR. If someone used Bush's face to clean my toilet, I wouldn't sit my ass on it ever again, having a much higher opinion of my ass than I do any surface touched by his cancerously hateful face.
