Gillespie vs Blogette

Nick Gillespie is not fond of McCain Blogette.

Could it be because the Blogette's been beating Reason.TV in traffic?

McCain Blogette

Just one of many reasons I'm pleased McCain is the nominee:

The Blogette marches on for another eight months.

TNR vs McCain Blogette

The New Republic takes a snide tone about the blog of John McCain's daughter, Meghan. Hard to see what they're complaining about. She documents her work better than some magazines.

And while her blog has lots of photos, it's not like she's running pictures of tortoises mating.

Traffic patterns

Most Americans don't read political blogs. That's no surprise. In fact, I'm a bit surprised that as many as 1 in 5 adults actually do read political blogs regularly.

As for my (semi-political) blog, I've been analyzing my traffic figures, and find that a not-insignificant portion of the people who show up here do so looking for mentions of:

--Clinton Road in West Milford, NJ.

--The Wovel.

--The WSSH300 washing machine.

--McCain Blogette.

--Basque painted forest.

--Giant tortoises mating.

GQ has a profile of Meghan McCain:

“I’m an acquired taste,” Meghan says matter-of-factly. “I’m a daughter of a Republican senator. I started dating this guy, and he wouldn’t date me anymore because he found out who my dad was. He says, ‘I don’t agree with his politics.’ Isn’t that terrible? That’s why you’re dumping me? We only went on two dates, but still. Not everybody wants to go out with somebody so high-profile. If they do, they’re investment bankers. Seriously. Ugh! If you’re an investment banker, don’t hit on me. You can quote me. I’m not interested.”

I wonder if Reason knows about that last bit of McCain anti-market animus.

GQ also has some Battlestar coverage.
