Instapundit highlights my comment!

This is truly a watershed mark in my ~~blogging~~ commentary career. Instapundit points to this Howard Kurtz entry and says (instapundit.com/archives2/012323.php):

Using Google for plane tickets is okay. But next time, try using them for . . . Googling. As a commenter at Kurtz's observes: "What should be noted about this issue is that CNN probably has a whole army of interns and low-level producers who could vet the possible questioners. They 'could spend hours Googling everybody', while the top level hacks concentrated on choosing the 'best' questions."

Well, hold on to your hats, everybody!

I am that "commenter"!

And, all those who then visit the Howie Kurtz link, provided that they remember what Insty just said, will perhaps match up my comment at the link with my name at the link ("LonewackoDotCom") and then, through the miracle of deductive reasoning, visit this site.

I would like to welcome that person, and I would like to thank Glenn "Insty" Reynolds for his shout-out.

It's been a long time, since the last "Instalanche" this site received was way back in August, 2003. That was shortly before, visiting Knoxville, I requested an audience. Insty complained of being busy, then didn't reply to my follow-up requests. That resulted in this. Since then, I occasionally sent him tips just to ~~annoy him~~ keep him apprised of my progress, but I stopped after no one still cared what he thinks.
