#6 9/11 woke me up a bit. I started tuning in to news a lot more than I had been. For a while I was a regular visitor to Instapundit. One day, I decided to snoop around at the links he had. While scrolling through them I saw a link with a great name, Rantburg. I haven't been back to Instapundit since. I have been having my head annointed with oil ever since.
I remember the 'Burg back when the articles were only posted by our benevolent master, Fred the Omnipotent. Back when the only tag line was, "Civil, well reasoned.." you know how it goes. I remember a regular appearance by a Turkish troll named Murat. I remember when
Al-Aqsas Martyrs Brigade was involved in a 'Burg article almost daily. I remember when Verlaine was Verlaine in Iraq. (What the fuck happened to .com for a while anyway? - I never got the scoop on that.)
The point is, I have been visiting this site for a long time and have seen many improvements since my first visit, but none - and I mean none - have been as great the the introduction of the Scimitar. Fred hath introduced a new oil to annoint our heads with, and it is good. Bow down in front of our master and hit the friggin tip jar woodja? |
