Seems she’s become a hired gun for Philadelphia mayoral candidate Tom Knox. That’s certainly a good thing for Susie, but a loss for the Philly progressive blogging community. History has shown that when the better bloggers on the left get hired away by political campaigns, they rarely return (at least in their previous blog personas), so we at ASZ wish the best to Susie.

I wish you the best in the New Year. I have really appreciated what you´ve done and I know a lot of others do also. You´ll be back and hopefully the financial situation will be better. We need to come up with a way to make this work so that people like you who do this well can actually make a living at it. Paychecks are good. I wish you the best in the New Year.
