RIP TNR

   Goodby, TNR
   The New Republic is an awesome, flawed, venerable, nutty, infuriating, smart, occasionally stupid publication. It's made some amazing mistakes, but it's also gotten a lot of things really right. It helped sustain my sanity during the Bush years, though I let my subscription lapse a couple of years back. It's been going downhill since Hughes took over, and suddenly it seems to be dead in all but name: there's a mass resignation afoot after Hughes apparently decided to replace Franklin Foer with some dude from...if you can believe it...Gawker.
   TNR, you will be missed.
