Is this the idiot Scabs didn't name who says Prez should resign & called cops Brownshirts?

Scabs said he wouldn't name him, that the dude usually has good sense, that cops exercising legitimate authority (in accepting a voluntary interview by the jerk on probation) should not be called Brownshirts. He's a professor?!1

Glenn Harlan Reynolds (born August 27, 1960) is Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee, and is best known for his weblog, Instapundit, one of the most widely read American political weblogs.[1][2] He has also worked as an author (writing An Army of Davids), a columnist, and a writer for academic journals. He delivered the keynote speech at a meeting at the Harvard Law School to discuss a possible Second Constitution of the United States and concluded that the movement for a constitutional convention was a result of having "the worst political class in our country's history."

Much of Instapundit's content consists of links to other sites, often with brief comments. (His frequent use of "heh," "indeed," and "read the whole thing" have been widely imitated and are often parodied by other bloggers.) Reynolds encourages readers to explore the wider blogosphere and to fully read articles and posts to which he links. Since 2005, Reynolds has at times added original video reports, shot documentary-style, to the site. He covered the 2005 BlogNashville convention using video he shot himself,[3] and he now has a PajamasMedia video series called InstaVision.

Between early 2006 and early 2010, Reynolds began to host podcasts[4] of "The Glenn & Helen Show," along with his wife, Dr. Helen Smith (who hosted discussions of those podcasts on her own blog, "Dr. Helen&quot . Both Reynolds and Smith have been more involved with video over the past year rather than podcasting—mostly producing segments for PJM.

Reynolds aggressively promotes the idea that bloggers, using now widely available tools such as digital audio and video, will eventually force established news media to adapt a more agile approach to providing information, though he does not believe that "that blogs will replace Big Media".[5]

Because of the blog's popularity, an Instapundit link to another site can cause the traffic of that site to spike. Such an increase is often referred to as an Instalanche,[6] or 'Lanche, a portmanteau for "Instapundit avalanche". (See the Slashdot effect for a similar phenomenon.)

In 2007 network theory researchers who studied blogs as a test case found that Instapundit was the #1 blog for "quickly know(ing) about important stories that propagate over the blogosphere".
