As the shutdown approaches, we have received top secret spy-cam footage
of a high-level government meeting. Unfortunately, it was unsigned, so
I can't tell if it came from the office of Reid, Boehner, or even the

Deskpro, but no 'net connection at home. The only web surfing I did was
occasionally at work; it wasn't 'til a pending layoff coincided with

internets on my home machine. [...] Had I been aware of it, I

Fifteen years? That's 1996! I had just started to post on the New York Times bb, and the brand
new WaPost bb (moderated by
Howard Kurtz). In 2007 I discovered Free
Republic, which at the time had about 5 readers (but was listed
on Drudge as "Whitewater.")
. Jim Robinson taught me how to use HTML. Anyway, I
stumbled across BlogSpot on
April 2, 2002, and posted my first gem two days later.

I'm not even close. But wait - I just noticed that (if you use IE) the interactive
SodraK at the shooting gallery still works! Bam Bam Bam.
