Tim Blair

Timmeh Blair has long been a favourite target of GrodsCorp’s in the sub-real world of blogging, but the news that he has been diagnosed with cancer is cause to come up to the real world for air and take a deep breath. This kind of thing helps you put immature blog wars into perspective and think about the stuff that really matters.
I wish Tim all the very best with his treatment and hope that he makes a full and speedy recovery so that we can resume calling each other silly names like school kids sometime in the near future. Good luck, Tim.

Likewise. No-one deserves cancer.

Horrible news. I hope he’s back feeling well and giving us all the screaming shits in no time.

Very much appreciated, Editor, as are the kind words from Jeremy and Ant. Thank you, and let’s hope for a quick resumption of name-calling.
(PS - if you still want to be Tim Blair for a day, may I suggest a particular day next week? At a certain Sydney hospital?)

You’re like Tim’s tumour in only one respect: you’re not malignant, even if a bit of a pain at times.
Onya for showing basic humanity. Hope we on the Right live up to your example.

Considering Tim spends most of his time with his head up his arse it’s a miracle that he missed this tumor.
