Blog for Iowa is 11 Months Old!
Well,
it’s time for an ol’ Blog for Iowa update. Why wait until April
1st, our one-year anniversary, when we just had our biggest month
ever? In February, we averaged 1200 distinct hosts served per day
– that means individual readers or, actually, individual computers
hitting our site. We also averaged 2050 page views per day in
February, for our biggest month ever in page views – 57,446!
Yes, dear readers, February 2005 is Blog for Iowa’s Babe Ruth!
Ever after, any other month that beats February will have an asterisk
behind its name, indicating that the record was broken in a month with EXTRA DAYS.
And
speaking of Roger Maris 😉 , if it is really necessary after all this time
to keep an asterisk after his name in the record books, then I would
like to suggest one other amendment to the record books. I’m
thinking that if a record such as Maris’ must carry an asterisk because
he broke the Babe’s 1927 homerun record in a season, 1961, that had three extra
playing days, then we should gladly add an ASS
behind the name of every homerun record breaker since (and including)
Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. The ASS, of course, would stand for
Anabolic Steroid Suspect. Hey, fair is fair. But I digress.

Hey Blog Team. Yeah you know who you are. Thanks for puting this bad boy together. This blog has been a valuable tool. A tool that cuts through the bs, dressed up fakes, and dangerous political trends. The conservatives have waged a war of nerves but thanks to this blog and others like it they'll never crush the kingdom.
