Bartcop was one of the 1st blogs I came across way back in the days before the Bush selection.

And what a find! Always slow to load, but quick to bring laughter or a smile, Bartcop was sustenance at a time when it was all corporate media all the time.

Rest in Peace, you old truth-teller you. If I could drink, I'd have a shot of the best tequila I can find in Seattle in your honor.
