Get well soon, Mike!
While Jeromy Brown was unable to avoid his usual snarkiness, he has conveyed some unfortunate personal news concerning Mike Ganzeveld of the Iowa Liberal:
I’ll try to do some more blogging this weekend while Mike recovers from a crazed attack by a bunch of disgruntled rightwing bloggers who were screaming, “Long live Sarah Palin!” They broke his hand and mashed up his face pretty well, but Mike managed to kill one and maim the genitals of another. He would have maimed the genitals of both, but as you already know one out of two rightwing bloggers are eunuchs.
The crazy thing is that only the part about the broken hand and the face is true, and it was a mugging at a cash machine in Fort Dodge, Iowa, folks. Fort Dodge. I blame the rap music. Okay, actually I mean Dana Pico blames the rap music. Let’s all hope for a speedy recovery and nice strong pain pills to tide him over in the meantime.
Some of Mr Ganzeveld’s comments on this site are listed as having been contributed by mike g.
We all wish Mr Ganzeveld a speedy recovery, and hope that the thugs who assaulted him are caught, prosecuted, and imprisoned for a very long time.
And, feeling some snarkiness license thanks to Mr Brown’s post, I’d point out the old maxim that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. I’m looking forward to Mike joining the staff of CSPT as soon as his hand heals! 
Yorkshire:
OH No, Mike G will be a Conservative soon. As the old saying goes, A Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged!
Anyway, get well soon Mike.

Mike wrote, on his own site:
The pics should be good — especially if Mrs Ganzeveld is included in them!
(I’ve seen her pic before.)
We know that it’s his right hand which is broken, but I don’t know if he’s right or left handed — though, as a liberal, he ought to be a lefty!

does your cell phone receive picture messages?

just sent it. it’s a good one of my face mashed up.

Well, the picture was typical cell-phone quality, but Mr Ganzeveld has seen better days. He did say (in an e-mail) that while his face was mashed up, he didn’t have any dain bramage, for which we are all thankful.
