I learned of Alan Caruba’s passing today after a reader sent me an email. My inbox had been eerily quiet as I hadn’t heard from Alan since last week and he was due to drop an article any day now. With the frenzy around the pope, the upcoming climate talks, Obama and the EPA completely off their respective rails, I was waiting for a blistering but carefully worded column on government waste, religion, and plutocracies. What I didn’t expect in my inbox was the news that an endearing man to me—and so many other people—had left this world after 77 years. Alan Caruba left this world on June 15.
Alan first came to my attention when I started this blog way back in 2010 (the site was under another name) and he gave me permission to cross-post his articles. Then he began sending me his articles directly to share. He liked the graphics I would always pick out for his stories and started doing the same for his site. All told, I think Alan wrote an article each day on a recurring topic (global warming, Obama, congressional nincompoops, Agenda 21, the U.N.), except on Christmas and Easter. He was the master of his keyboard and he used it judiciously and precisely.
