This morning, as I sat down to the computer

This morning, as I sat down to the computer, I did what I do every morning: went straight to David Horowitz’s

Frontpage website. I need a good laugh first thing. This particular morning, however, I noticed something

rather odd. Something seemed to be missing. At first, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was, but as the fog

of sleep slowly dissipated with an infusion of live-saving caffeine, I realized what it was: the newly-

installed “blog,” called “Moonbat Central” (out of a general lack of any sense of irony) by Horowitz and his

employees, was … GONE!

My heart sank. Omigod, I thought: am I to be spared nothing?!

After all, when I think of all the … good times we had: the stupid smears, the juvenile name-calling, the kooky

rants posted by the inimitable Steven Plaut, crackpot ultra-Likudnik and defender of the terrorist followers of

Meir Kahane… well, I was in shock. Who will soon forget the time he made up a phony “quote” purportedly from

Middle East scholar Juan Cole, and then refused to acknowledge that he did it out of sheer malice — or even

that he did it at all? Then there was the well-meaning but essentially clueless Richard Poe, Jacob “Smarty

Pants” Laksin, and that cute little stud-muffin Myles Kantor (oh, those Cubanos!) — where oh where are they

now?, I wondered. What’s become of them and their testy little tirades? When I think of all the fun I had with

“Moonbat Central” the tears gather at the corners of my eyes and shyly trickle down — you know, it’s the

little things in life that give us the most pleasure, and this example of the neocon-ized “conservative”

movement’s utter nuttiness gave me many hours of hedonistic abandon. And to think that it’s all gone — GONE!

— without even an acknowledgement from The Horowitz.
