There is a first time for everything I suppose. This blog post is just the latest in a long line of first times stretching back to unremembered first steps and a very well remembered… well I won’t get into that. In any case, I feel the need to pre-apportion the blame before I unleash myself on the world. Basically it is all Glenn Reynolds fault. Firstly for writing such an interesting blog. His instapundit has become my first point of contact to global news throughout the day. Within days of first reading it (at Jim Bennett’s suggestion) Glenn had permanently weaned me from the whinging and whining trivia that CNN supplies as news. And secondly… he’s now so “famous” that I can’t get him on the phone or email any more.
Secondary blame goes to Rand Simberg and Jim Bennett for suggesting that I should get a blog, or when was I going do so. Thirdly, blame Perry de Havilland for threatening my manhood if I didn’t join this fray after getting him hooked on it by pointing him to the Great Satan Glenn’s site.
So world, here I am. Be afraid. Be very afraid…or at least hide your daughters; dig a foxhole if you’re of a socialist nature; make that a reinforced concrete underground bunker (shock mounts optional) if you are of the uncritical anti-technology ilk and in general keep your head down when I get in the mood for a good verbal dustup.
I’ve a lot of pent up thoughts from the last few weeks of post-history history, so… Let the fray begin!
