Instapundit

Glenn Reynolds' instapundit.com is nothing more than his own bantering about news.  I guess that this is the whole concept of a blog and is what I have been doing on this site for the past few months, but it is weird to me that someone is making a living off of this.  While I am having fun doing this project for class, it seems somewhat pathetic to me that a grown man sits around all day thinking "what should I bitch about today."  That is not to say, however, that all of is posts were of that manner, but some of them definitely were.  Today alone he had 44 posts between the hours of 2:28 AM and 7:00 PM.

While a lot of the content was definitely based on what is going on in politics, there was a lot of other stuff in there that has no relevance to the real world.  One of today's posts was simply his own banter about something that someone had written about him in their own blog.  To sum it up, someone had responded to a quote from instapundit and then accused him for deleted the post so that no one would see the wrong that he had done.  He then goes into a page-long description about how the post was lost and why what he had said was right.  Really... who cares??

The rest of the content contained bits and pieces of stories from the rest of the news media, such as famous court cases and stories about Obama's initiatives.  Overall, this blog was not very interesting.  I am not trying to sit here on a high horse and say that mine is any better, but then again, I'm not doing this for a living and as far as I know I don't really have any fans that I am trying to make happy.
