He was just supposed to say ‘Heh’ and ‘Indeed’ now and then, and hold up a few photos of cats. :)

Instapundit was just on Kudlow, talking about the $300 Sony that will make a big diff for citizen reporters eye-appeal.And,replacing dead-tree papers in general. Good interview in that he got a full, in-depth, eleven seconds in order to flesh out the details of his points--including several cases where he had time to answer Kudlow's questions with several beginnings of words after the "Well..." before the commercial break or another question cut him off.

IMHO it is a well done and useful read for anyone interested in US history but, additionally, Shorto brings out a new (to me) twist and makes a reasonably convincing case for it. Carl Spackler,

The rough frame of today's blogs was all there, albeit in a different form. Links, postings, comments, base, working class, below the radar of the well educated, save the cries of the Democrats, who took notice during the Bush/Gore election and mistook it as a fake, ginned up scheme by right wing big money. FR was supported by it's posters, somewhere near a quarter of a mil a year. Naturally, again, being small business and tradesmen, FR's particular achievements have gone unremarked by any historical reporting. I suppose it is all matter of class bias. The above is but a quip, not a dig, as Instapundit is my browser's home site. So, let a thousand flowers bloom! The revolution swims amongst the digital fish of the Internet sea.
