empathy (and tough love) for the Instapundit

swing set   Get better, Glenn.  You know Lileks is right:



Get better! Go away for a week. Blog not. You’re not a public utility! We won’t call our city councilman if the tap’s dry for a while.


No more waffling, please.  No more:  “Okay. Not for a week, but for a while. One quick report, though . . .”


Please get away from your weblog (and maybe all news sources) for as long as it takes to get fully healthy.  Be grateful your malady is acute and not chronic.  Although this weblog has only a handful of readers, its Editor understands too well the constant temptation to choose the insta-pleasures of weblogging over health needs.

  • prof yabut small flip  So, listen to egoEsq:  Get all better.  Stop posting until your doctor and InstaSpouse give you a full bill of health.  It won’t happen instantly, but think how happy the webiverse will be upon your vibrant return!
