Catblogging hits the big time:
In the vitriolic world of political Web logs, two polar extremes are Eschaton (atrios.blogspot.com), a liberal, often anti-Bush site with a passionate following, and Instapundit (www.instapundit.com), where an equally fervent readership goes for hearty praise of the Administration.
It would seem unlikely that the two blogs' authors could see eye-to-eye about anything. Yet Eschaton's Duncan Black (known as Atrios) and Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds have both taken part in a growing practice: turning over a blog on Friday to cat photographs.
"It brings people together," said Kevin Drum, who began the cat spotlight last year on his own blog, Calpundit (www.calpundit.com). "Both Atrios and Instapundit have done Friday catblogging. It goes to show you can agree on at least a few things."
Have we gone from, "Why can't we all just get along?" to, "Why can't we all just cat around?"
The NYTimes mentions Lawrence Simon and the Carnival of the Cats, from which I was linked for the first time ever. I can't believe that the first time there's a set of links that could lead NYTimes readers to N2P in three clicks comes about because I posted photos of kittens last Thursday.
Silly, but I'll be happy for any additional traffic that wanders this way. Come for the cat-blogging, stay for the test-defending.
