The Raleigh Soup is off the menu for those not on the guest list.
The insider gossip blog has blocked the general public, requiring an invite from the anonymous bloggers to get inside.
The Soup made jabs at figures on the Raleigh political scene, including Eddie Davis, and took more than a few pokes at Beverly Perdue.
But the blog also had a decent track record, regularly beating the Magic Eight Ball on rumors and predictions.
Dear Soupsters, we're waiting for our invitation. Our e-mail is dome@newsobserver.com.





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