How does it feel to go, in just the few years that I have been reading your blog, from being a patriot and true believer in conservatism as the right path to being simply another mouthpiece for the liberal idiots who are determined to undermine everything that this country was founded upon? To waste so much intelligence is such a disappointment!!

What’s missing from this email is some reference to the fact that the only reason I have issues with intelligence fiascos, bad war management, fiscal insanity, legalized torture, and general incompetence is … gay marriage. But, hey, I’ll get a few dozen of those today as well. Then there are the newer readers:

I never thought that I’d find a conservative website that was anything other than a forum for bashing liberals. I will be bookmarking this so I can return over and over just to see what the sane half of the Republican party is talking about.

Lose some; win some. But thanks to all of you for reading anyway.

BUSTING TIMESSELECT: It was only a matter of time. You can read John Tierney’s column a day later here. Paul Krugman even posts his own a day later. John Tabin has put up a clearing house for everything Pinch wants you to pay for. It’s called “Never Pay Retail.” By the way, MoDo still hasn’t recorded her video-dork spot. Can you blame her?
