I’ve taken a few swipes at News and Observer columnist Ruth Sheehan over the years, but now that she’s leaving I’m truly sorry to see her go. I will miss her point of view, regardless of whether I always agreed with it. For all the columns where we didn’t see eye to eye there were many more that helped folks who desperately needed it.

I admit, this is one corner of the blathering blogosphere that will miss her column. Best of luck to you in your new career, Ruth.
