9
By Mitch Berg
Today is Shot In The Dark’s ninth birthday.
I was working at a dying little dotcom nine years ago. I was reading a Time article on the “new breed of young conservative intellectuals”. They profiled Andrew Sullivan and his “blog”. I checked it out. I saw the link to Blogger.com.
And when I got home, after dinner, I set the thing up, and it was off to the races.
And the race has not stopped for more than a weekend since then (barring a one-week break when my ISP died back in 2004).
Anyway – thanks!
More next year, God willing!

Happy birthday, old timer.

Too bad we didn’t know that at Reagan’s Birthday Party last night – we would have bought you a pint. Cheers, and here’s to another 9!

I’ve learned a lot about blogging from SITD and I can’t tell you much I admire (and envy) your amazing productivity. Thanks for all you do, Mitch.

And it only took nine years for Sullivan to devolve into a flesh-rending nutball with a bizarre Sarah Palin fixation that would necessitate a restraining order on most people.

On a related note, Joe Soucheray announced his retirement today. This completes the total demise of the once mighty AM1500.

You sure about that, Kermit? I read that he was just quitting 1 of the 2 hours he does with Reusse, and is still doing the 2 hour GL show.

On a related note, Joe Soucheray announced his retirement today.
From Saturday Sports Talk only. He’ll still be on 3-6 weekdays.

The wife told me about it. I’m glad Joe is still in the game. Personally, I would dump all hours with Ruesse, but then I can’t stand that morbidly obese liberal twit. He giggles like a little girl.

I figured you’d have at least one clown here for SitD B-Day. Where is AssClown? Peevee? Deegee?
