Thank You: 100 Million Unique Views
— Ace

"Unique" doesn't mean what it does in ordinary speech, so no, 100 million people haven't come here. (A "unique" is just like one visit in a two hour window or something; it reduces the raw figure from hits by not counting refreshes/comments that come faster than that.)

Still, it's a big big number. And it wouldn't have happened without readers and commenters, and the cobloggers and the terrific guest bloggers that sub in from time to time (and especially last week, thanks!).

I feel bad about this happening right now since I'm still burned out and not finding a good angle on stuff, and I know that my blogging is weak as hell lately. Would have been nicer if this happened during, say, the Ewok Stalker period

But still , it's a nice smile for the day. I am deeming today the 100 Million Moron March. Although, there will be no march, because it's cold and who the hell wants to march?

7 I figure I'm good for 1.23 million of those, so does that mean there's only about 80-90 readers?

8 Although, there will be no march, because it's cold and who the hell wants to march? Got that right. Colder than a sorceress's mammary out there. And congratulations Ace, you and the cob-loggers make this my hangout, day in and day out.

I sure as hell don't want to march. I've been out working on my truck in 20 degree weather all day.

Know what you get when you add steel-toed boots to freezing temperatures?

A dumbass who can't feel his toes, that's what.

Oh, and congrats!

I would ask what the prize for the 100,000,000th  moron was...

And then quickly became terrified that it would be commemorative framed copies of all Drew's rants about the Delaware senate race.

20 Losing it lately?  I don't think so.  AOS is the best, IMHO.

The discussion recently about the NORKs and SORKs, and particularly the reader comments from ex-military types, was fabulous.

And a bit off-topic, but what about those Steelers?  They surprised me last night by again doing a win after getting bested for most of the game.  And how about that nose-wipe that Big Ben got?

21 But, Ace, it is warm.  The scientists told me so.

And the social scientists told me that temperature is just a construct of the white, male patriarchy.

So we have that going for us.

105 Speaking of Pat Caddell, I saw a video of him at a Q&A at David Horowitz' Restoration Weekend.  Link: http://tinyurl.com/2dufqun

In the Q&A (it starts at 5:15), he was addressing "rich people" and why he was a Democrat.

Here is my best interpretation of what he said: He hated people who "rigged the system" to benefit themselves.

So what does Caddell think a rich person is?  The rich are rent-seekers and those who get rich by their proximity to government.

As a Democrat, I'm sure he truly sees it that way.  All the rich guys he knows are CEOs of government-tied industries, people who are in heavily-regulated industries like banking, high-powered lawyers, etc.  They aren't people who have provided a good or service that people voluntarily choose.

107 And it wouldn't have happened without readers and commenters, and the cobloggers and the terrific guest bloggers that sub in from time to time

Your welcome. Thanks for the news and cutting edge commentary.

I feel bad about this happening right now since I'm still burned out and not finding a good angle on stuff, and I know that my blogging is weak as hell lately.

Dude, I understand, it's a face paced blog, and it's all about good product for the lurkers, and ensuring we stay interested enough to churn up interesting and entertaining discussion threads; but It's December dude. Our side had the big win, you can't keep that game intensity up forever. I mean really, we are in lame duck. The Democrats are doing, pretty much what we expected them to do. Republicans, fortunately seem to be blocking most of it. How much commentary can you write when the big story of the week is some bill that makes small farmers miserable; I mean if that is the worst they are going to pass on us this session, I'll count myself lucky. Even DC wants to call it a year, big Harry and mostly Nancy don't want to leave while they still have their finger nails in power. But everybody else would just like to see it end, go home for Christmas, and start again next year. How do you write commentary on "DC Wants to go home, but Harry and Nancy crack the whip in a hopeless effort to pass liberal agenda items, Republicans respond with a middle finger"

It actually wasn't that long ago....he went from 1M to 100M pretty fast.  Or put another way, it took longer to hit the 1M mark than it did to hit 100M mark.

Congrats.

131 Maybe we should pick a theme for Ace, like Big Sis Janet Napolitano did today with her new campaign for Wal Mart customers looking out for terrorists. hell most people you see at Walmart don't look in the mirror too often, some might be a little "past" ..if you know what I mean.. I thought we had a decent CIA, turns out they are all Wal Mart shoppers. It gives a new meaning to Big Sis's fashion sense as well. The top she is sporting on Drudge she picked up for 1/2 off today. Obama has a national policy to ask Wal Mart shoppers to find the terrorists. Ace, compared to this you have NO PROBLEMS.

Congrats, Ace, for quite an accomplishment.

Please don't apologize for anything.  I've been reading this site for about a year and a half, and have learned a lot from your insights and explanations.  It's not surprising that anyone who has to engage in the daily sludge of politics would feel burned out, and I hope you take whatever breaks away you need.  (I'm a caregiver for my terminally ill mother...I understand burnout.)

This site is so fun to read sometimes it's easy to overlook your smarts and dedication.  Thank you.

Posted by: Mayday at December 06, 2010 04:18 PM (TRgli)

I have to agree that it's a great blog. One of the main reasons, however, is that the commentors are not all dumb as dirt. Other places, not so much.

So true.  I get tired of partisan cheerleading/heckling, and want some critical thinking and analysis from multiple perspectives.  I have faith the conservative viewpoint will win the argument virtually every time on the merits.

Don't laugh at this, but I'd really like to find a liberal site where I'd get something similar.  Don't get me wrong, I'm firmly a conservative, but I like to see things from other perspectives and have tried to see their side from a principaled POV.  Rarely if ever do I see the merits of both sides of an argument considered on lefty sites, and the commenters have nothing of substance to say, complete waste of time.  Even though the lefty sites I still occasionally visit are turning on Obama, it's still like consuming cotton candy for the brain.  The lack of critical thiking and analysis is unbelievable.
