That Explains A Lot
InstaPundit reports that since an “unfortunate incident” in his youth he hasn’t had a spleen. I bet Kos and Atrios and Hamsher and Aravosis and the rest of the gang all have theirs, and wouldn’t be surprised if some of them have spleens enlarged to twice the normal size.
Of course, if InstaPundit (or Brian Beutler) needs a splenetic infusion, he can always read some Baudelaire: even with a century and a half of cultural and technological advances, Paris spleen is still the best spleen, and it is readily available in the U.S. at a very modest price.
