On a daily basis. I have his last column bookmarked and revisit it from time to time. Hope Mrs. Bart is thriving. He was one of a kind.

sweet corn updates we've missed over the years he's been gone.

RIP, Bart.

That's where I found DU. I liked his politics, I liked his interests, I liked his choice of music, I liked the cartoons he posted, and the vacation pics he put up. I wish he was still with us.

I miss him alot too. I just had a feeling when he hadn't posted for a week or so - that something bad happened.

Proud to say he was a fellow Dragon!

I vividly recall exactly where I was and what I was doing when I read he died. I communicated with Terry from time to time and was a devout reader of his site from 2000 on. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss his commentary and…(Reichwing flying) monkey bashing.

Bart was the best. Full stop.

Two shots of Chinaco 🥃🥃 Añejo in memory of Bart.

Though I often thought baiting incredibly dumb angry people was a tad dangerous.

Nice guy. Once in awhile I’d comment that he may have crossed the line on something. He’d always light heartedly reply that he was only going there to piss off the humpers.

Former bar owner, he’d dealt with people like the MAGAts for a long time, and knew how to deal with them. That, and unless I’m mistaken, he had guns. 😁

RW nut jobs effeminate “liberals” and think they aren’t capable of defending themselves beyond using their words.

Bart would've had a field day with the 🍊 one. He would no doubt still have the pink tutu Democrats graphic.
