#7 Rantburg is about the only thing that's keeping me almost sane in today's world. Thank you, Fred, for all you do.

#8 Fred, thanks for putting up with this old Devil Dog. I was once told if BS was music I had a Brass Band.

Your efforts of giving this group of outcasts, from the PC world, a voice is much appreciated.

#12 This milestone calls for some celebritory humour.

The Three Dead Bodies.

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.

The Coroner tells the Inspector, "First body is a 72 year old Frenchman. He died of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous smile."

"The second body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won a thousand dollars on the lottery and spent it all on whiskey. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.

" The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?"

"Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, 66, struck by lightning."

"Why is she smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.

"Thought she was having her picture taken."

#13 Dang word filter!

Ok, 4670 comments, though there were a bit more with other changing nicks before, auto-generated or not; been reading RB since december 2002 I believe (that when the Global Security article that led me here is dated, anyway), first article posted was about that algerian terrorist stabbing a british policeman during a raid, and I've been a somewhat long regular as well as irregular reader for quite some time, seeing commenters of all stripes, sometime very interesting ones, come and go, but since the best ones are those who go away first, I stay.

#14 Congrats, Fred! I promise I'll try to have at least one worthwhile thing to say before the millionth.

#15 Same here, had a computer crash, now it says I've commented 138 times, a plain fiction.
Up in the thousands before.

#16 Jim, reset your cookie with Redneck Jim and you'll get your thousands back... minus the 130 or so as Rednek (without the 'c') Jim.
