Chronology

We in the Northern Alliance take a goodly deal of pride in the work we do - re-afflicting the afflicted, immediating the media - and we have a lot of fun doing it.

But as re: Janeane Garofalo's second-hand bleg for misguided liberals nationwide to subscribe to the Strib, the Fraters throw down with a claim today:

"Right wing nuts assaulting the Star Tribune" may as well be the official motto for Fraters Libertas. It's part of our mission statement. Our whole raison d'etre, if you will. Hell, it's even sculpted into the frieze over the main entrance of the sprawling FL World Headquarters (good thing that consultant talked us out of "Freedom is slavery").

We were right wing nuts before right wing nuts were cool. And we were assaulting the Strib before assaulting the Strib was cool. We're the pathfinders on this particular mission. The tip of the spear. The first wave on the beach.

They have been doing it a long time. And they have raised it to an art form.

But let's see whose footsteps were the first on the moon - or in this case, pressed ham:

The first Fraters article criticizing the Strib was dated March 8, 2002.

The first Powerline whack at the Dingy Gray Lady of Portland - the first one that actually criticized the paper - July 20, 2002.

Meanwhile, over at lowly little Shot In The Dark - when did I start criticizing the Strib?

February 6 - Reaganmas - 2002.

Blazing trails so you don't have to...
