"What are you talking about? You never loaned me your car."

Great men don’t volunteer themselves—they are chosen by history. Jerome Corsi is one such man. A simple writer from East Cleveland, Ohio, Corsi was swept into the flow of national events by sheer coincidence. The author of Unfit For Command—in which former swift boat crewmen question the validity of John Kerry’s war medals—and a leading voice in the Birther movement, in which elderly white people and former Watergate conspirators question the validity of Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Corsi suffered the awful burden of being the only man in America with access to information disqualifying a popular Democrat from holding the office of President.

Well, I’ve moved Combat! to an externally-hosted WordPress platform, sort of. And it works, kinda. I’ll level with you—Combat! looks like complete shit right now, and I barely know how to make WordPress work, and I’ve thus far only been able to figure out how to import the last five posts, and all of the images got screwed up, and asterisks look like they’re going to be damn near impossible. But on the plus side, search engine optimization! I’ve installed the most customizable blog theme I can find, and just as soon as I figure out how to actually configure it I will restore Combat! to its former, aesthetically stunning glory. In the meantime, if you miss the old posts formatted in the old way, you can always point your browser to the old site. I’ll keep hacking away at the new one, and of course the stream of angry, incoherent complaints about contemporary American consumer culture will be unstemmed. Bear with us, Combatants. Your loyalty will be rewarded, probably in the afterlife.
