#3 Ditto in spades on the LGF story. Weird doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

#4 LGF - what I remember was Charles used to be a lefty, then someone in Muslim garb pointed a pretend gun on him after a bike ride, then 9/11 happened a few months later and he turned righty for a few years, until be started screaming about Creationists (in Texas) for a few months, then it was other lefty causes ju jour. That's when I bailed.

A year or so after that, he deleted my LGF account having seen my name pop up on Tim Blair's or Patterico's site supporting them.

I think that about covers it...

#7 It was a link to Rantburg by I think the legendary Atomic Conspiracy posting at LGF that lead me here.

Beauxeau was in his comment, that's all I remember.

#8 LGF had something in common with Andrew Sullivan. I found them both in the same way that I found the 'burg.

Someone, right after 9/11, pointed me to Insty. I hit every site on Insty's blog roll and stuck with Sullivan and LGF, and some others, till they both flipped out and returned to their lefty roots. Sullivan on the subject of Gay Marriage and LGF, as mentioned, on creationists. Over time I reduced my regular reading to Rantburg, Insty, Tim Blair and Roger Simon with the occasional EU Referendum. The only one I really miss is the late lamented Nation of Riflemen.

Instapundit and Rantburg are National Treasures that should be fabled in song and story.

If he ever did he'd have to ban himself.
