A Sad Day

MZ's favorite weblog (besides his own, of course) sadly announced it was closing up shop today. Moonbat Central had been a staple of my reading diet for the past 6 months or so, and seeing it go is most disappointing.

An offshoot of David Horowitz's brilliant twin leftist-bashing websites, DiscoverTheNetworks and FrontpageMag, MBC was staffed by the finest weblog hosts I've ever had the pleasure of reading. They also attracted some of the best commentators to argue through the daily news events the staff would select for discussion.

All of this will be missed by yours truly, though I hope to see some of my friends from there wander over here to add their two cents from time to time.

So, Moonbat Central is gone. You rightwingnuts will just have to understand the truth: You are NOT worthy! I suspect this website will surely find its way to the toilet soon enough, as well.

Leftontop, you couldn't be any more wrong -- or stupid. I don't need to dignify your blathering with an intelligent response, so let me just reply in an ignorant vernacular that you can understand: I AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE!

I know, Michael. It was a great site. We'll have to keep fighting the good fight, though, and I'm doing my best to keep my part of the bargain. Perhaps now that I'll have more time to devote to this site I will expand things a bit.

Of course I'm familiar with you, Kyle. Glad to see you and hope to see more of you in the future.

Group blog!

Let's see how many MBC posters want to start up a blog together.

Hi Taz, what seems to be the problem?

Mad Zionist said...

I was pretty stunned to see MBC get torn down...Did any of you see any signs of this coming?

Mad Zionist said...

My thinking is that MBC's demise had more to do with money and the blog drawing viewership away from Frontpagemag. I could be wrong, but my guess is the blog outgrew its welcome.

MZ,

Since we lost MBC I will check up on you every once in a while to make fun of you or at least say hello.

MZ et al,

Hello people! I feel like we were just kicked out of the house. Oh well, I've got my toothbrush and a sixer or Bud - where to next?

i will go to moonbat in approximately 15 minutes and howl until my howler runs out. there is a crazy posting there right now - i tell you, there is no decency in the left - i miss you all already.

Mad Zionist said...

Looks like Richard got him. You know nanc, I can't help but feel like we commentators at MBC were unceremoniously zapped, and a victory was won by the leftist trolls.

nanc said...

i refuse to believe that. maybe it was david's way of turning us out into the world - you remember the mantle with elijah and elisha? perhaps we are all to become elishas. i'd like to think we all made a difference. just keep hoping the voice of insanity knows better than to come here and start his verbal regurgitation. i have it on good authority that leftist trolls will not win.

Mad Zionist said...

Trust me, nanc, they will indeed lose.

nanc said...

you can still post at moonbat - i don't get it, having just made a post there in the last two minutes. i attribute it to a pity posting party - waaaaahhhhh!!!

Freedomnow said...

Hello Tazz,

This is sort of a homeless shelter for armchair bloggers.

Moonbat Central is no longer taking comments so say goodbye and hello to MZ and his zany friends!!!!!

Mad Zionist said...

Homeless shelter for armchair bloggers? Is that supposed to be some sort of a backhanded compliment, Freedomnow? Well, I guess I've been called worse...

Anyway, tomorrow I will start making more daily posts in an effort to keep the restless troops entertained.

nanc said...

i love it freedomn0w - that would be a great name for when we start an old folks home blogsite. don't be so testy madze - you got the last blog in at mbc - you should be as puffed up as an old overstuffed "armchair". arrrgggghhhhhh!!!

Freedomnow said...

Hey Nanc,

Be easy on MZ, he gets a bit cranky in his old age!!!

By the way, do you know if they will serve prune juice in our retirement blog? (It keeps me regular-like.)

nanc said...

cranky - cranky - he has no reason to be cranky - and they'd better serve warm prune juice or i will be cranky. i am so glad to see you all here - feeling a bit twitterpated right now, mostly because there is a beer getting warm on the deck - that my friends is alcohol abuse - back later!

Mad Zionist said...

Me cranky? I thought I was cute and charming! BTW, I'm only 38 so I think I've still got a few years of regularity left in me.

Great to see you all, and if you need to get an email off to me send it to madzionist@madzionist.com

I'm here too!
I was busy for a couple days and missed the MBC funeral so I didnt get to comment before it was closed.

I sure will miss it.

Anyhow, I'll still be hangin with the crew (as long as you guys can tolerate my occasional bloodthirstyness heehee).

nanc said...

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhoooooooooooo - from one bloodthirsty to another - in case you missed my previous welcome. welcome rightwingmac - there's no use in any of us missing one another.
