Following up on The Dish

220px-Andrew_Sullivan_croppedAndrew Sullivan says, according to several reports, that his readers ponied up more than $100,000 Wednesday in the first six hours that he sold subscriptions to The Dish, the blog he is separating from The Daily Beast.

More power to him, I say. But at Time magazine offers perspective with which I agree.

For what it’s worth, one of the writers whose blog I would pay to read — and I wonder if he’s paying attention to Sullivan — is Charles Pierce and his Politics Blog at esquire.com. To my way of thinking, he is way more entertaining than Sullivan.
