Blogger crackdown?

Posted on July 23, 2010 | Comments Off on Blogger crackdown?

Another call for it, this time from a CNN toady. Don’t these people get tired of trying to abuse the First Amendment in the name of, ahem, their use of the same? I know I am tired of them doing it. But, then, I never watch them anyhow. And that,  right there, is probably the crux of their angst: more people would rather read the Web than watch them.

Thirteen million visits a month

Posted on January 5, 2010 | Comments Off on Thirteen million visits a month

I knew Instapundit was popular. I read him every day. But thirteen million hits a month? Whoa. Not that some people care. I wonder what it costs in server time?

Link trouble

Posted on September 15, 2009 | Comments Off on Link trouble

One of these days, I’m going to get through to the link on this Instapundit item:

A GOVERNMENT THAT FEARS ITS PEOPLE: SONIC WEAPONS USED IN IRAQ POSITIONED AT CONGRESSIONAL TOWNHALL MEETINGS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

But, so far, I can’t.

UPDATE:  I finally got it to work. Now I’m not so sure I should have linked to it. The headline is correct. But there doesn’t seem to have been any intent to harm.

Mr. B. on The Speech

Posted on September 8, 2009 | Comments Off on Mr. B. on The Speech

His fourth grade class watched the president on the television in their room. Nobody opted out. He thought it was pretty good but that it was way too long. "When it hit [fifteen] minutes, I thought ‘Time to wrap it up, dude.’"

Instead, he said, it went longer. It was twenty minutes long by most accounts, a long time for a kid to pay attention. Instapundit’s teenage daughter’s class, for some reason (unexplained), laughed at it. Mr. B.’s class consensus: they liked it.

Dem’s “good war” not so good when it’s theirs

Posted on August 31, 2009 | Comments Off on Dem’s “good war” not so good when it’s theirs

Time for Barry to cut-and-run from Afghanistan? It certainly would fit the rest of his dictator-loving foreign policy. Leaking the latest unhappy command report to the Guardian, of all media, isn’t grounds for confidence. Meanwhile, Michael Yon says there’s already a crippling shortage of helicopters to ferry American troops around the mountains. Accidental? Or the beginning of the end?

UPDATE:  Meanwhile, ol’ one-term Barry is looking more one term everyday.

Miss Universe

Posted on August 14, 2009 | Comments Off on Miss Universe

I notice that even Instapundit, venerable libertarian blogger extraordinaire, has recently added a little sex to his aggregated links from time to time. Power Line has been doing it forever with their Miss Universe nods, complete with biggerizable thumbnails. I won’t go that far on this family blog. But I will link to them. A little spice is nice.

Waiting to hear

Posted on May 15, 2008 | Comments Off on Waiting to hear

Some sort of tragedy appears to have befallen Instapundit’s family. All we can do is wait until he posts about it.

UPDATE: "Doesn’t appear to have been anything serious."
