Several readers (who are obviously more attuned to these things than I am) have pointed out that today is the fourth anniversary of Little Green Footballs; although February 7th is not actually the date LGF began, it’s the first post in our archives as they currently exist.

Notice that the first comment on that first post is from a Bush-hating moonbat; but for a year and a half, there were no comments. (Actually, that moonbat post in such an old topic is what motivated me to implement a time limit for comments, so all the thousands of topics didn’t just keep filling up with such ravings, forever and ever, amen.)

If you poke around in our archives, you’ll discover that pre-9/11, I was … uh … not exactly a fan of Dubya myself, although I don’t think I ever actually hated him with the ferocity of the modern Blue-State Moonbat. For example, I linked approvingly to that series of pictures comparing Bush poses to chimpanzees. (Thought it was funny. You know what? I still kinda do. Don’t tell the President, please?)

Happy fourth anniversary!
