I know Hugh had advised me to avert my eyes from the Salon blogs rankings, and he's right. Any kind of RankingWatch is just bad for the soul, but I still feel inclined to note that RFB has now officially dropped to number 7 all time (and is likely to drop a few more in the coming weeks/months), and that the Reverse Cowgirl looks like she'll be passing Scott Rosenberg as Salon's number one all-time blogger soon.
Meanwhile, over on the filchyboy tip, for some incredible reason, it appears that (as of a few minutes ago) 625 people have viewed one of his blogs from the Rankings page and 626 have viewed his other blog from the Rankings page. There must be quite a flow of curious people dropping by that Rankings page and then heading off to the phenomenal filchyboy blogs, disdaining all the rest.
My (jimmy) hat's off to you, o filchmeister!

Joshua Marshall has been burning up the wires lately at his Talking Points Memo blog site, holding the administration's feet to the fire on their utterly failed policies toward North Korea. TPM's recent post on the subject goes to the heart of the question of how long the Bush folks have been sitting on certain information about North Korean uranium-enrichment efforts. Read the entire sequence to get to the heart of this muddle.
Then read the rest of TPM's recent posts to learn that the Republican purge of racist party leaders is far from complete.

You Googled me?
I get all sorts of strange search terms landing at my page, especially lately since a few of my posts on Pete Townsend's land on Google's first page of results when people search for him by name. Here's an odd one, today, coming from Google's Belgian server:
Dick Cheney pedophile
I assume this is just dirt-digging and a weird form of wishful thinking?
