Everybody Keeps Getting a Busy Signal at the Blogger Burnout Hotline Nowadays

Professor William Jacobson laments Don Surber’s recent decision to quit blogging. It is probably just a coincidence that Don, one of the most valuable members of the conservative blogosphere since 2005, was never invited to speak at BlogCon. Instapundit grimly holds on.

It Is Not Often One Locates An Oversight In Professor Jacobson’s Reasoning
