I FIND BRIAN LEITER’S TRAFFIC-JEALOUSY PATHETIC, but somehow pleasing.

UPDATE: Reader Kevin Kneupper writes: “Did this guy seriously name you ‘InstaIgnorance’ because you told people there wouldn’t really be a draft if Bush was reelected?”

Yeah, pretty much. But although the name’s coinage was of false provenance, he’s nonetheless sticking with the name he invented. I could make a snarky crack about how philosophers work, but that would be too easy. Still, as I’ve noted before, my upbringing left me with no awe of that profession. And certainly Leiter has never done anything to change my mind.
