Within the next hour or two, American Future will record its 250,000th hit. When other milestones have been reached, I’ve expressed my appreciation to bloggers who helped AF get off the ground and who have provided me with ideas.

This time, I want to thank readers who have enlivened my blog with their frequent and thoughtful posts. While I don’t have the largest audience in the blogosphere, it is a very high quality audience. Neither extreme of the political spectrum finds AF to their liking, which is fine by me.

Apologizing in advance to those I’ve overlooked and in no particular order, special thanks to
