While the cat's away, the mice are playing. . .

The blogfater, puppy-blender, Instapundit, Leader of the Wingnuts, or whatever you want to call him is on vacation. Yes, Glenn Reynolds isn't blogging this week and has turned over the keys to the largest blog on the "right" side of things to Ann Althouse, Michael Totten and Megan McArdle.

Althouse and Totten have been on my blogroll from the beginning, and I check out their blogs at least once a week, if not more. I have to admit that I've rarely visited McArdle's site before today, but rest assured that all three are excellent bloggers (much better than your not-so-humble author) and promise to make Instapundit a varied and interesting link-fest and read this week.

A couple of things are readily apparent to the regular Instapundit reader instantly. They write more. They actually give us a few paragraphs instead of quick one-liners. This is good and bad, it gives you a little more inside into the issue but it also slows down the read a bit.

Nevertheless, there are three times as many Instalanches available this week, so all you fellow bloggers out there should get on the ball and rant, rave, educate and enrage your respective communities. The "right" side of the blogosphere can and should grab this opportunity to tighten up their writing, get their ideas down and publicize and propagate them well.

I'm sure that Ann, Megan and Michael will do a fine job subbing for the Instapundit, so don't waste any more time with me and head over there.

PS, I'll be working a little on the back end of this blog today to fix some broken stuff and rearrange the sidebar, so if it goes down for a bit, it's not gone, just in the shop. Unless I get an Instalanche, of course.
