For those of us that have been around here awhile, we have been interacting with Voyageur for years and we are very aware that he is here. But thank you for reiterating the obvious, I guess.
He didn’t just suddenly appear in January. He blogged here for years and took one year off, as you note above, to honor the terms of his separation contract. He hasn’t made an attempt to hide that he is Bob so why are you asking what happened to him since he’s clearly here?
Maybe I’m missing your point but I honestly don’t get what it is you feel you need to know, especially enough to write a diary about it.
I think Jason’s question is rhetorical. He’s just summing it up, not everyone reads everything on here and connects all the dots.
I’ve been gathering the facts surrounding Bob’s departure from the Post for a while now, but it’s nice to see it in one place.
Plus not all of Pols readers are FP’ers or former FP’ers who are horribly addicted. Some people might be wondering “Bob Ewegen used to post here all the time? What the hell happened?”
But you’re right that Bob posted here for years before his sudden departure from the Post in 2008.
But that’s just me.
He traded his beard for a bad ass handlebar mustache.
Thanks for posting this Jason. This and your last diary were terrific.
Sorry for the confusion. My headline was rhetorical.
Clearly, I’m the one that’s clueless here and unfortunately, that’s a common trait for me. 🙂
I used to get the Post on my driveway everyday. (and the WSJ 6days , FT 5days and once a week the NYT)
When they started to pile up unread, I started cuttting them off. DenPo was last- but ultimately it didn’t tell me anything I didn’t get from other sources, including it’s crappier online version.
I’ve been thinking about this site- and wonder who you all are. I knew who voyageur is early but I appreciate the profile.
Do some more- obviously only those who are public.
Most of whom don’t blog here publicly. Bob is just a cut ahead of the rest, I guess.
but there are people who are here publicly (assuming Wade Norris, Sharon Hanson, and others are real names) some of whom diary and post quite a bit. And I’m curious.
But I think you’d have to ask everyone individually.
is Ken Gordon’s real name?
is a figment of her own imagination.
I’m not that powerful and I certainly don’t deserve the attention you keep giving me. It’s more power than I deserve.
and it was identical to this comment. I’m beginning to suspect that you, like Libertad, actually thrive on being despised.
So here’s what I think we should do for you both: We should take up a Pols collection to send you both to a place where irrationally belligerent trolls can romp unhappily together, driving each other crazy(-er). The two of you can have a brood of gibbous little goblins, and, as a family, you can slink out of swamps and swing down from twisted stumps of trees to sink your pointy little claws and teeth in whatever happens to be passing by.
See? That’s how much we care.
Don’t you think these diatribes against me and others will come back to haunt you?
while your interest in my electability is touching, don’t you ever tire of flailing for a psychological and rhetorical advantage that you will never gain? Shoo.
Anyone who comes in contact with you must surely feel the pain of being around a narcissistic bore such as yourself.
Sometimes I can’t get through your posts because I am bored to tears but I do hate to see you so upset. I hope you’ll lighten up because it’s sad see anyone so upset.
The authenticity and sincerity of your concern, and the credibility and impartiality of your insults, are as plain to see as a slug’s balls after a mud-bath. You’re right. I repent. You’re wonderful, everyone else is horrible, and we all need to recognize that. It’s okay, Sharon. It’s all going to be okay.
we ID someone as their POLS user name only, and let them determine when to use another identity. Isn’t that bloggers’ etiquette?
Jason Salzman’s diary, or BlCora’s idea of doing “Get To Know Your Polsters” profiles?
was to find out what some of the journalists who’ve lost their jobs are doing now, but I wasn’t going to do this very often. Yes, I think we’d want to ID someone with their POLS name unles he or she okayed our using their real name.
all the journalists who’ve lost their jobs are now regular bloggers on Pols …

I’m triguardian!
(btw – got to meet Bob at the Pols meetup and he’s terrific – a pleasure to talk to – hope to do it again soon)
There is certainly a need for it and it’s a niche market. Big media is doing a lousy job of transitioning to online media and it’s a opportunity that won’t last for long. The start up costs would be minimal and could work out well if it’s successful. I heard something about former Rocky Mountain News employees starting a company. What happened to them?
