January 31, 2022 the LikeTheDew.com will shut down. The site. The email server. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. And all the others I can find.

I’d hoped to write a long piece about being too old, too tired to keep up with social media, how dated a long-story site is, but you probably know that already. I’d also planned to write a thank you to each of the writers including some of the things I liked best about each of you. Not going to do it. Y’all have moved on. Time I did. I’ll miss my virtual friends. I love those who were amount they first and those who stuck around until the end. Thank you. Knowing you is among the very best things I did.

If you are one of the 530 who have written for the dew, want to get a copy of what you have written and cannot figure out how to, leave a comment and I’ll send you directions.

If you don’t want the Dew to end and want to take it over, leave a comment or send me an email.

If you don’t want the Dew to end and want to help or shoulder the financial burden, leave a comment or send me an email.

Lee Leslie

Lee Leslie

I’m just a plateaued-out plain person with too much time on his hands fighting the never ending lingual battle with windmills for truth, justice and the American way or something like that. Here are some reader comments on my writing: “Enough with the cynicism. One doesn’t have to be Pollyanna to reject the sky is falling fatalism of Lee Leslie’s posts.” “You moron.” “Again, another example of your simple-minded, scare-mongering, label-baiting method of argumentation that supports the angry left’s position.” “Ah, Lee, you traffic in the most predictable, hackneyed leftist rhetoric that brought us to the current state of political leadership.” “You negative SOB! You destroyed all my hope, aspiration, desperation, even.” “Don’t you LIBERALS realize what this COMMIE is talking about is SOCIALISM?!?!?!” “Thank you for wonderful nasty artful toxic antidote to this stupidity in the name of individual rights.” “I trust you meant “bastard” in the truest father-less sense of the word.” “That’s the first time I ran out of breath just from reading!” “You helped me hold my head a little higher today.” “Makes me cry every time I read it.” “Thanks for the article. I needed something to make me laugh this mourning.” “If it weren’t so sad I would laugh.” "... the man who for fun and personal growth (not to mention rage assuagion) can skin a whale of bullshit and rack all the meat (and rot) in the larder replete with charts and graphs and a kindness..."“Amen, brother.”
