I'm losing hope and interest. Something has to give.

I AM A CITIZEN JOURNALIST!

I was mulling-over this very topic yesterday and, I think, even if the numbers stay kind of low, a pretty great thing has been achieved. All of those people who were checking blogs in September and October now know about the existence of them, which means that they will be back any time something happens where they feel compelled to double-check the media, or at least get more information than they're getting from the papers and TV. So maybe they aren't all news-junkies who will be checking blogs daily, but they'll be back whenever something big or of particular interest to them happens.

Of course, as someone who gets almost no traffic, I can afford to be blase about this...

You want to keep the traffic flowing, keep the cheesecake comin'!
Politics 'N' Porn baby. Its a winner.

Maybe the reduction in traffic is due to the fact that all you have been doing is wah wah wahing about CBS and Rathergate, or Memogate, or TheConservativesAreBeingHeldDownByTheLiberalMediaGate.

It's a good theory, Ryan. I'll look right into it.

Meanwhile, you post here all the time, and I don't think I've ever sent you an email or replied to you before.

Who loves ya, baby?

Geez Ace.

You're talking about traffic slowdowns. . . when you get ten times my hits each day.

And let's be honest, I look better in pleather.

Be happy. It'll pick up. CBS is bound to do something stupid *again* eventually.

Cheers,

I can't imagine how you can possibly do more than you do to draw hits.

Perhaps more stories which gossip about something that I will not say but which rhymes with 'bass shucking.'
