Playing Catch-Up

By Justin Katz | November 24, 2004 | Comments Off on Playing Catch-Up

Apologies for the lack of posts over the past couple of days. Judging from my daily rounds, we don’t appear to be the only quick read out there. That’s no excuse, of course, and we do appreciate your readership. (Arguably that appreciation is served by not posting fluff just to fill space.) Among my reasons,…

The Anchor in the Corner

By Justin Katz | November 12, 2004 |

A beleaguered — but hearty and hopeful — welcome to readers of NRO’s Corner. By way of assuring Mr. Ponnuru that there do exist conservatives in Rhode Island, I note that this blog is the product of three of them and that there are at least four other rightish bloggers in the state. Away from…

Still, the quirks of Web design manifest in unpredictable ways. Indeed, there are a couple of minor IE issues that I’ve…

About a year ago, I experienced, simultaneously, pleased surprise and sinking disappointment upon discovering that the various online lists of Web logs (blogs) revealed none identifiably from Rhode Island at a higher rank than my blog. It’s nice to be in the running for even obscure titles, of course, but being aware of my relatively…
