Housekeeping notes

Two unrelated notes to pass on.

One, I never talk about my site’s traffic, but I’m pleased to report that May was the best month in the history of The Carpetbagger Report for unique visitors, page views, visits, hits, and bandwidth. I mention this because I want to thank each of you for your support. Whether you’ve been reading the site for a couple of months or a couple of years, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to check out my daily tirades.

Two, my friend John at Crooks & Liars is hosting a fundraising drive to help pay for his enormous bandwidth cost. C&L, as many of you know, is the web’s leading video blog, with clips that not only help drive the online political discourse, but are often impossible to find anywhere else. Naturally, video files and high traffic lead to exorbitant costs. If you were so inclined, I’d encourage folks to drop a few bucks in his tip jar. Tell him Carpetbagger sent you.

And now, back to the news….

Congratulations to the Carpetbagger Report, the best political blog around!

Happy Birthday, Karen.

  • Just started reading you regularly about a month ago, now you are required reading every day.

  • I guess I put my kudos in the wrong post, I just couldn’t hold back anymore. You’ve definitely made it to the top of my blog list too, and I look forward to each day’s postings. Surely you can’t have been blogging at this site for two years, though! If so, I think you need some advertising. This is one of the best blogs I’ve found yet. Can I be so much in the minority in my tastes? Or are your readers just less verbose and inclined to comment as I?

  • Congratulations to Carpetbagger! I love the tirades and the analysis. I have to read this blog everyday. It’s my political kitchen and, to my estimation, it’s one of the best and well-organized blog sites I have read. One of my favorite features on this site is the political round-up around the country. I save that for last. I truly enjoy reading the post and only recently did I begin putting in my two cents. Keep it up. And I will be sure to give my support to your pal at C&L.

  • Congratultions on the increased traffic to this site! This site has become a daily stop for me over the past couple of months. I much appreciate the inciteful and well thought out commentaries that you provide. You’ve given me tremendous amounts of documented ammunition when confronting some of the blithering idiots that exist out there.

    Thanks again and keep at it!
