Why Do We Mock InstaHack? His blog is infinitely more hit than this isolated silly sarcastic blog (though our growth rate is much better [Ed: Spin, spin, spin]). But we mock him because his analysis is piffle, trite, jejune. Much of his hits come because of his age on the infobahn, and because the guy does an infinite number of one sentence posts linking to other links. Sort of the Drudge effect -- it is certainly the quantity over the quality. An example of this is found on his MSNBC blog-related atrocity, where he offers perhaps the least profound and insightful analysis in the history of binary code*, as fittingly his article provides pretty much zero.

I doubt I'll support Kerry in November -- it's not impossible, but he'd have to convince me that he's strong on my biggest single issue, the war -- but even if I decide to oppose him, I don't want him to be a weak President if he's elected. No matter who's in charge, the country will need strong leadership, not drift, in the coming years. I hope the Kerry Campaign folks keep that in mind.

Yes, Professor Reynolds gets paid to blog this crap -- while Attaturk gets nothing, and he and his eight or nine loyal readers have to put up with that obnoxious Blogspot add at the top of a free page. At least I don't feel sorry for myself, or talk about myself in the third person.** *requires you pretend townhall.com and the WSJ Editorial Page do not exist, ** Smilies are prohibited on this blog.
