Ye Olde Not-So-Current Events Blog


  • If you really care to see the old "once, but no longer current" events blog, here's the archives page. My political views have changed quite a lot since those days of olde, and I'm not always of a mind to discuss them, but, if your mind is open to having an actual productive conversation (i.e. if you're not just out to convert me to your POV) then you just might get lucky. ;o)

Surprise, surprise!

When checking my refer logs I always look forward to surprises, as there usually is something there I've never seen before.  Such happened yesterday, when I noticed a link back to the New York Times' domain—what on Earth...?   What would I be doing getting a refer from there?

Turns out that the Times has a reader comments forum board of sorts, filled with the usual suspects: lefty wingnuts, moonbats, idiotarians, and other assorted hardware and genera, with the occasional brave non-leftist challenging their usual assumptions.

Lo and behold, FB was quoted from two posts made just yesterday.  You can see both quotes on the Times forum page here (free registration or BugMeNot required).

Thanks to reader joanboitet for the good word—and welcome to FB.  Please feel free to add to, or start, a discussion here any old time.

Indeed, back in the day, when I was just a struggling, mediocre law student and he was like this incredible, self-taught electronics wizard, he taught me everything I now know about blending puppy shakes. That, and the Force and stuff."
