Sorry to see this. We discussed the situation at BlueNC a week ago, before they blocked the site.

In their most recent post (December 13), The Soup's chefs point out something about blogging that most people probably don't think about that often:

We launched The Soup six months ago with a mission to carve out a cheeky, stir-the-pot niche in the North Carolina political blogosphere. Based on the comments, kudos and obscenities hurled our way, we accomplished that goal. The Soup broke some news (still batting 1000% over at Under the Dome’s Magic 8-Ball), did some innovative research, and served up plenty of snark. We underestimated one thing: running a snappy, well-written, up-to-the-minute political blog is a fulltime job. Until somebody pays us or we hit the lottery, The Soup is our labor of love. The challenge is finding enough time not to post a bunch of crap. With the holidays here, we’ve decided to take a break for a few weeks, spend time with our family members who haven’t disowned us and reevaluate The Soup’s future. (emphasis added)

I subscribe to "the more the merrier" philosophy when it comes to blogging. But they're right about the time commitment. It's intense. If I weren't a freelance writer keeping my own schedule, there's no way I could do what I do online.

It would be great if they could find a way to keep The Soup alive and accessible.

I would love an invite. It is one of my favorite blogs.

Re: Soup cold for Perdue?

Well, I posted a comment on the SOUP on this matter of Beverly Perdue leaving the scene of the accident way back in time, so I guess I'll repeat here that I think it does matter. I have not decided quite yet between Moore and Perdue (I've only decided that I will vote for a Democrat), but thus far I can't say that Beverly Perdue has given me any reasons to support her. On the other hand, I am starting to think I have reasons *not* to support her. I don't like it when a candidate pads his or her resumes with half-truths, and this business about her leaving the scene of an accident really stinks. As for the SOUP seeming to target her, I suspect that has to do with the perception that she is the front runner. Those are the folks that draw the fire.

I don't mind not knowing who the cooks in Soup's kitchen are; it's kind of entertaining.

If the N&O can't determine who these so called insiders are, perhaps you should consider declining to give them the courtesy of your attention.

Bill Graham has THIS vote, in lieu of a formidable Libertarian!
