Saying that someone is “to the right of Attila the Hun” is a figurative way of saying someone is extremely right-wing.
Well, I’m not that extreme, so I figure that puts me neither to the left nor the right of Attila.
I also wanted:
1. a name that would be fairly easy to remember, and
2. a name that had not yet been taken as a domain, and
2. something that did not yet show up in Google as being used by someone else.
Plus, I can’t resist a pun.
(Note: This entry was originally published on my now-defunct political blog, Attilathepundit.com. It’s kind of irrelevant now, because I decided that maintaining a separate blog for my political stuff was too much of a hassle. I’ve kept this entry for historical purposes.)
