The hard thing about blogging, at least for me, is that one has to read a lot of nonsense and link to it and repeat what one has already said and written ad nauseum. People like Maureen Dowd and Robert Fisk are dreary reading, and one wonders constantly whether it's worth the trouble to read and comment on their blather. I'm not too good when I'm bored. I don't know how Glenn Reynolds does it.


I suppose that, being an academic, he really enjoys all the give and take of discussion, but, for me, outrage fatigue has set in. In the end, blogging is just a way to vent frustration at the way so many "intellectuals" seem to have all the reasoning ability of a subnormal lemming.
