Don't try this at home.

As usual, you confuse "data collection" with "analysis." Or "thinking."

Any boob can do a targeted search for one link source in the universe of everything I've written. What does that prove unless you compare it numerically to the entire database?

In other words, if you had posted thousands of things on the internet, and I search only for the links you posted to, say, "Playboy" magazine, and find a dozen of them, what does that actually prove?

Some of those "examples" are years old, out of a universe of several thousand.

To get my list, I examined, sequentially, just your most recent posts and showed (unless I missed one or two) ALL the links. If I had been hard over on it, I could have gone back a dozen or so pages to get a larger database, but I figured I'd made the point.

I link to MANY sources. Yes, many of them conservative or libertarian. But I know you would find a lot of CNN and MSNBC links in my universe. New York Times, Washington Post, you name it. You would also find HuffingtonPost, KOS, and probably any major liberal source you care to name. I remember at least one link to "The Nation." In addition, you would find large numbers of links to original documents, studies, and the places where the reporters actually went to get the information to write their stories.

On the other hand, I'll bet you don't have very many links to NRO, or anyplace outside your liberal comfort zone. After all, these are people you automatically assume have nothing to teach you.

You seem to have a well-developed search tool, and one which bypasses the limits of Google on this site. Good for you. But frankly, it's like someone being given an electronic calculator and watching them use it to pound rocks into gravel.

Just as an aside, Instapundit specializes in links to other sources. Same as Drudge, but with a brain behind it. You have to do better than that.
