Welcome to the Purge
I read that Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs (with whom I still occasionally correspond) was also exiled and delinked from Hot Air. Apparently he had at least the ironic courtesy of being … initially … moved to the “Left Links” gulag prior to liquidation … I went straight from “Affiliate” to bung-hole.
Frankly, I haven’t visited Hot Air in a while … my karma’s a lot cleaner for it, I can tell you. What the hell is going on over there?
