It's a read and scroll kind of a thing, a scroll and read some more kind of thing. And it won't put you to sleep the way a lot of what passes for (cough) "insight" (cough) in the blog world will.
Actually, at least 50% of the time, if I read that so-and-so "displays excellent insight into this issue," I find I can usually substitute that so-and-so "is a good buddy of mine, so I'm giving him a pity link" and have it fit. But I'm cynical that way.
(And now: Would someone with some pull get Ace of Spades an Instalanche already? I think he's a fool to crave it; a spot on the Den Beste blogroll is infinitely more prestigious, particularly as Den Beste isn't running after Wonkette with his tongue hanging out. But I can't say Ace doesn't deserve the spotlight, so please--it's overdue.)

Ace, I gotta hand it to you: You lie like a pro.
Are you sure we didn't actually date at some point?
[ducking]
Well, just so we're agreed that Instapundit remains what our cousins across the pond would call "a total wanker." Heh. Indeed.
Posted by: ilyka at May 14, 2004 08:48 PMI don't know if we dated. Send me dirty pictures and I'll let you know.
(I need to see dirty pictures, because I have a memory disorder preventing me from remembering any visuals in a non-dirty/non-nude context.)
