OK but your present rate of traffic shows about 130,000 per month now. (last week * 4.3)

James Joyner, Traffic, Hookers, and Willie Nelson
James over at Outside the Beltway gets a LOT more hits than I do. I mean, a LOT. Maybe I need to start posting more porn. For it would seem the Civil War stuff ain't quite cuttin' it.

On Stats and Referrers
I too have had a huge spike in hits from posts on Alexandra Kerry and Nick Berg and more recently Severina Vuckovic. I've seen people tell me what to do and what not to do, and it all seems like common sense to me.
