Speaking of Web rankings, I note that Alexa (keeping in mind its flaws) puts FreeRepublic.com at something around
10,000. A few years back it was briefly around 500. Cutting and pasting news stories isn't what it used to be. It is tedium enough to do it for your own blog. Besides, the site does have an aura of...intemperateness. I don't attribute this supposed decline to the alleged surge of the left (its mirror image
Democratic Underground hasn't caught up very much); face it, most Web sites have a short shelf life, and a lot of yesterday's favorites are approaching relative senility.
