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….
