When a blog (I'll settle for just one) causes a major change in the observable actions of a politically significant number of people, I'll be impressed. For now, CT and most of the bloggers linked to CT are mainly engaged in impressing each other but have little effect on the rest of the world.

I never read wonkette, but I did see her on c-span recently and I will agree with what she said, - "99.9% of blogs suck", though there is the rare post and the rare blog worth watching out for, I'm finding it a real challange to create something interesting, and I"m PROUD to be a tech. school drop out!!!! academic, academic, academic, well for some reason I’m going to link to crooked timber, regardless of my feelings for Kant and the over rated idea that academic blogs are better than than non academic blogs.
