Comments: Bad Moons Rising
This is from Richard Fernandez's Belmont Club. Fernandez is one of the best essayists on the web. Why do you never credit him when you post something he has written? Seems odd.

What long peace? The US has been at war almost continuously since 12/7/41.

Walt, I know well who Fernandez is. Indeed, I know Fernandez personally and have met him and admire him deeply. Indeed years ago, when I was the first editor of Pajamas Media, I hired him for the position he still enjoys. He is also credited more than 543 times in this side blog and more than 100 times in the main blog. The credit lapses here simply because the software I use to pick up his items does not automatically include his name... only the given title and I simply don't go back to include it.
But as you can see I share your opinion of his work and have for quite some time.

Thanks for the explanation. I knew Fernandez and Belmont Club had been cited in the past, and thought perhaps something untoward had happened since I haven't seen you on Belmont Club recently. Happy to hear it is nothing personal.
