Strangely, I was thinking about the whole “Horsemen of the Ablogolypse” a few days ago. Maybe it was a premonition (I was trying to remember who they all were, and I forgot Charles Johnson and Andrew Sullivan). Tonight, Steven Den Beste reminisces about that, thanks to an Andrew Sullivan-inspired link to the past. Now given that Andrew has gone over to the stupid side, and Steven’s retired to anime-blogging for the most part, that means we need a new Plague and War. I’d take nominations, but even with Ike and Brendan Loy helping me, I don’t pull that kind of traffic!

Still, I can speculate. Emperor Darth Misha I? (But would he be Plague or War?) Could Jane Galt finally make the grade? Could Bill Quick get promoted from the B-team? What about Bill Whittle? Michelle Malkin?

I’m just not feelin’ it here…. especially given that DenBeste was one-of-a-kind. I mean Whittle’s the second coming of Samual Clemens, but he’s a little wordy, and definitely short on science skill. Maybe we can give him Sullivan’s old spot?
