It is sort of interesting that just as my decade blogging as DrugMonkey is expiring, all this political jazz erupts.

Ten more years! Ten more years! 🙂
Damn, has it really be ten years? Seriously, though – thank you for all your work and for being the go-to- forum that we all participate in. It has been invaluable to me and I know to many others.

Thanks DM. Found your blog this summer and read through all the archives over the past 6 months until I got fully caught up today. Maybe I’ll make an interesting case study in another 10 years.

My favorite DM article was on Francis Collins and Sally Rockey.
I think they fired the blowhard (SR) after that big lie they propagated about plenty of jobs for PhDs, once public outcry reached critical mass.
No wait, “It is with truly mixed emotions that I announce the departure…” WTF

Congrats on a decade of a truly wonderful blog.
But the wording of your post is a bit ominous – “expiring”?
Nooooooo!

DM is probably feeling like sad. Most (if not all) the stuff he believes in, Trump will demolish–NIH included. To make matters worse, Trump was democratically elected, so in a way it’s society at large that rejects DM’s ideas, notions, and beliefs.
I remember years ago, we had some Tea Party trolls that warned us about the future. We laughed at them and called them names, but they were right! Don’t believe me? Think I’m exaggerating? Trump is our president. That says it all.

DMfan, you have a good point. The Tea Party was a pretty naive bunch of upset but basically nice people who got called Nazis, marginalized, soaked for donations and hijacked. (In fact my name is a legacy of my sympathy for them once upon a time).
Lessons learned. Now the cool kids are in the Alt-Right and unlikely to make the same mistakes.
This is the future you chose.
Thanks!

It is a weakness of liberals that we always feel responsible for the poor choices of others, but that doesn’t mean we’re right. If you respond to mockery by becoming a Nazi shittehead, you’re a bad person, and it’s not the mockers’ fault.
Here’s hoping the coming wave of unambiguous awful will let the left stop bickering about semantics and find their stones for another generation.
