Your LakeCountyEye has sad news to report about
TheBlog1.com -- according to the
Daily Herald ...
A long-running blog about Island Lake politics and events unceremoniously closed over the weekend. The site, at theblog1.com, once was run by then-Trustee Laurie Rabattini and then by a series of activists
Island Lake blog shut down
Operatives will recall that the
TheBlog1.com was the innovative Lake County political blog that launched 1,000
Daily Herald stories and editorials.
TheBlog1.com's rabid rhetoric and untutored approach to rational discourse became the
de facto standard for political dialog in Island Lake. Your LakeCountyEye recalls that
TheBlog1.com introduced at least one new term to the political lexicon:
No Ifs, Ands or Rebuttles
As a tribute to
TheBlog1.com, your LakeCountyEye has compiled 10 epitaphs to commemorate its passing:
| Ten Euphemisms for the Departure of TheBlog1.com |
- Demised
- Passed On
- Is No More
- Has Ceased To Be
- Expired and Gone to Meet Its Maker
- A Stiff, Bereft of Life, Rests in Peace
- Pushing Up the Daisies
- Its Metabolic Processes are Now History
- Kicked the Bucket

So, on this solemn occasion, a moment of silence is requested for the
TheBlog1.com, as your LakeCountyEye offers a prayer of
