A bit of bloggy nostalgia
In 2001 and 2002, I was reading and commenting on Dana Garret's blog and Mike Mathews. There was also someone ...Delacrat? who had a great wit, but didn't stick with it. I was also trolling some Republicans pretty hard. Hube mostly. Like everyone I was shocked and outraged about how terrible George W. Bush was. About how he wanted to invade Iraq on a transparently flimsy pretext and with no plan for the occupation. (Little did I know that the GOP had not yet begun to scrape the bottom of the barrel.)
Anyway, my arms were to short to box with GWB, so I decide to keep an eye on Mike Castle who I discovered to be a straight down the line "Yes Man" for Bush in spite of his PR campaign to the contrary. I tricked Liberalgeek into coming aboard, then Pandora and Cassandra, Nemski, Donviti. El Somnambulo was a goldmine of a commenter for a long while before he came on board. Delaware Dem started "Daily Delaware" but decided to come over after a while. Those years were fun. Then Hillary Clinton came along and ruined America with her shit ass campaign. I think that's how it went down.
This short piece in technically Delaware reminded me of all of that. Read Steve Newton's post on outing. That's one for the time capsule.
