“Bernard DeVoto once wrote that when America was created, the stars must have danced in the sky.”
The Rude Pundit explores other DeVoto material that cheney might appreciate.

Under Their Thumb

There is some truth to Trish Wilson’s point:

…quite a bit of psychology is really about the people with power regulating the behavior of the people they wish to control.
Hmmm, this makes me think about all those drugged school kids.
Ever heard of drapetomania? No, likely not. Go over to Trish’s and read about it.

Convention Things

To be precise, 1001 Things to Hate About the Convention.
There really are a 1001 of them ranging from the humorous to the serious and some that perhaps reflect positively about the convention.
And they are generally much more entertaining though I’m going to savor them a bit longer then PZ Meyers who says he has read them all.
Roxanne borrowed #17, Ayn Rand smiling up from hell, to headline a fine picture of these left behind children. I do doubt that Rand would be smiling about anything to do with the RNC convention, its candidates or their programs.

August’s Top Referrers

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 25 top referrers for the month of August (there was a 6 way tie for # 20). Number 20 produced 9 referrals compared to 12 for number 20 in July.
July churn: 5 blogs dropped and 10 new ones added compared to 8 and 7 in June.
Overall traffic was up about 16.3% from July and up 230% from August 03 (no I do not expect the year to year growth rate to continue at that rate). I am also seeing an increasing number of visits from folks who have bookmarked Modulator and I thank all of you for visiting!
Top search phrase/word: Live Strong
Most popular post: Live Strong
Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
Again, 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, Bloglines, blogoshpere.us, Sitemeter, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem, Bloogz 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.
