He's good at it, with lots of followers and eyeballs. But . . . when Iowahawk wrote a blog years ago, wow. The funniest stuff I ever read on the web. His Archbishop of Canterbury Tales . . .

That takes some effort, I think, and even if he only got a few votes those were still votes that didn't go to Barbara Boxer, so that's something. He went to law school (Harvard or Yale I think) and I understand that takes a bit of work, too.<br /><br />Have you read his book The End of Equality? It's pretty good--I read it back in 2008 or so and even though it was old the core ideas still had a lot of resonance. I'm sure it's available on Amazon, through the Althouse portal even.HoodlumDoodlumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591221162603652473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13554654992138087372017-01-30T12:09:47.709-06:002017-01-30T12:09:47.709-06:00" I know that blogging made me not want to wr..."

It certainly seems like the medium of choice for lots of Media and writer-type people, though, and leading up to the election I started browsing more and more. Still not my favorite, and Kaus' arguments usually merit more than 140 characters.HoodlumDoodlumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591221162603652473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-7227352543041151342017-01-30T09:08:41.284-06:002017-01-30T09:08:41.284-06:00Twitter is for the comedic analogy best for one li...Twitter is for the comedic analogy best for one liners.
