September Top Referrers

This entry was posted in Modulator on by

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s top referrers which is based on blogs that provided 12 or more referrals in the month of September (up from 10 or more referrals last month). Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
There are 19 of you this month which is up from 15 last month. 4 blogs dropped off and 8 new ones have been added.
Thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge significant referrals from some of the blogosphere’s ‘service’ sites: Technorati, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, MovableType, Blogdex, blogoshpere.us, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem and Daypop.
All of the blog rolls except the Base Roll are ordered by most recently updated so be sure to ping weblogs.com or blogrolling.com to push to the top of the rolls. These are certainly the sites I tend to look at first and visitors will see you at the top of the roll as well.
For a brief discussion of Modulator’s blog rolls look here.

OPEN SOURCE POLITICS has exploded in readership this week.
These entries are good reads:
Robert Novak is a coward,
The CIA’s Patriotic Math,
A Matter of Trust, and
I Have A Little List …
are all about The Valerie Plame Affair.
There’s also the Ben Franklin True Patriot Act Action Alert:
Pie In the Sky and
The Politics of Power;
Oh yea, there is a two part piece on Asbestos Legislation #1;and #2,
plus the
Florida Political Breakdown.
It’s all good.

Keep Limbaugh?

This entry was posted in Journalism on by

Clark and Sharpton are calling for ESPN to fire Limbaugh but Kevin Drum has a better idea:

See, the fact is that Limbaugh and his fellow blabbers say this kind of stuff all the time. But they only say it on the radio, and only dittoheads are listening, and the mainstream media doesn’t report it because, you know, it’s just radio, and it’s just Rush, and that stuff gets a free pass. So most Americans don’t actually know what Rush and his pals are like.
So I say, keep him on the air. Let America see what Rush and his fellow right wing bigots are really like. Maybe it will open their eyes.

On the other hand, I wonder what the demographics are for this ESPN show.

The folks at Language Removal Services have created a great public good:

As a part of our public outreach programs, Language Removal Services has here created the first “language-free” political debate. It is our hope that this will allow you to better understand the true positions of the candidates. Below, we present language removals of the leading candidates to replace Davis.

At a minimum listen to Huffington and one of the others. She is amazingly free of content.
