I don’t know how the prez is doing…

…but there are good signs here at the blog..

At WCRN Chris our the station manager suggested that the best way to judge how the show is doing is to see if there is an increase in blog traffic since it has started.

The show started Nov 20th so we can judge by Dec and January Traffic.

Dec, a traditionally a slow month for blogs, was my 3rd biggest month of the year behind Oct (pre-election road trip) and Jan (Scott Brown) and was only behind the Brown month by 35 hits.

To this point this January is not only my biggest month ever, bigger than November and December combined but as of today I have more hits this month than I did during all of 2009.

All of that isn’t possible without all of you, guests, readers, listeners and advertisers. As we get closer to the premiere of our 2nd hour let me thank each and every one of you.

Reading the speech now

Assuming this is the correct speech, long and boring, signifying little.

With the mixed audience the idea is to make it look like heavy applause. I’m tired so I don’t know if I want to bother, but I want to hear what Bachmann says afterward.

Either way the media will paint it as a centrist call for action and a triumph and the republican response as petty. Why even bother, the spin is preordained. I’ve seen this movie before.

If he wanted to make a good speech this would be it:

“As times are hard, all over America people are spending carefully to live within their means. From this point forward I pledge that government will do the same.”

The end

Just peacefully minding their own business…

A history lesson for those preaching civility

Update: The Path to violence explained via Althouse/glenn:

1. Frances Fox Piven advocates left-wing violence by the unemployed against the government.

2. Glenn Beck criticizes her for this, calling such talk dangerous.

3. Then an unstable unemployed left-wing radical engages in violence against the government.

4. Glenn Beck then repeats his criticism of Piven.

5. Finally, the Am. Sociological Assn blames Glenn Beck for his criticism of Piven AND indirectly for the left-wing violence.

Assuming we are not dealing with simple intellectual dishonesty and CYA I’m forced to conclude this is more evidence that to the left their political beliefs have morphed into a religion.

The logic of the Assn escapes me.

Hundreds of Thousands march in favor of life, as usual the media spins

I missed this year’s March for life.

Lucky for you Steven D. Greydanus didn’t, just keep scrolling.

The Anchoress has more.

I’d send you to the MSM but I’m assuming you actually want to know what happened.
