On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 20 top referrers for the month of December. Number 20 produced 15 referrals compared to 21 for number 20 in November.
December churn: 6 blogs dropped and 6 new ones added compared to 7 and 7 in October.
Overall traffic was down about 4.4% from November and up 464% from December 03 (no I do not expect the year to year growth 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 Referrer: The Sideshow! Thanks, Avedon.
Top search phrase/word: live strong bracelets
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 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 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.

This makes me more than nauseous so I’ll let Zombyboy speak for me:
The plan by the Bush administration to jail al-Qa’eda suspects for life without ever submitting them to a court is wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.
I have no doubt that these are Bad People who have done Bad Things and harbor nothing but Ill Intent toward the people of the West. I understand that the last thing we want is to have these people back in the world plotting the next attack against the citizens of–well, anywhere from New York to London, Paris, or Rome, for instance. I even realize that the people who are drawing up this plan believe that the actions they take will help protect the rest of the world.
While the plan may be protected legally inasmuch as the terrorists are not protected by the Geneva Convention, the plan isn’t a moral one
