Liberal blogger Artios is shutting down. You can go read the last post and leave your condolences.

Look at the spelling on name. The real site has Atrios in the name and the URL: http://atrios.blogspot.com. You went to Artios.

It’s a pretty good forgery though…

Seen at Just One Minute, though it wasn’t indicated if they knew it was a fake…

This looks like a lot of effort for a not all that funny joke.

I went there. Was about to leave an honest comment …

Nah, “if you say anything good, don’t say anything at all.”

Got me.

I didn’t notice the URL, but I did notice that there were still advertisers on one site.

Even for a lefty, dumping out with ads still running would be a dishonorable thing to do as a blogger.

I certainly fell for it.

I think I’m supposed to laugh, right? It seems to be missing a punchline. Is it funny and I’m just too tired to get it?

though it wasn’t indicated if they knew it was a fake…

And spoil everyone’s fun? I stole my headline (“Adios, Atrios”) from one of the commenters, who may have inadvertently typed in “Adios, Artios”.
