A few years ago, I e-mailed Andrew Breitbart on Facebook to ask about writing for one of his sites. Rather than e-mail me back to discuss it, he gave me his number and asked me to call him. The man who helped create the Drudge Report and ran a news aggregation service and other sites and drove liberals crazy took time out of his schedule to talk to me.
Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but it meant a lot to me.
I was offline for most of the day, which was wonderful and highly recommended, then I returned home and read this. I’m stunned. I’m sad. He was young. He was a husband and father. He did a lot of heavy lifting, figuratively speaking, for conservatism. Breitbart’s absence will be felt for a long time.
