Thursday Morning Links (Bill Clinton Edition July 23, 2009)
"I feel your pain." Can you feel mine?
No special reason for the Clinton photos. Inisde I placed my favorite "I feel your pain" picture of Bill. I have included the famous black & white of a teenage Clinton, meeting and shaking hands with JFK. Those photos and 27 links are after the jump.

Or was never set correctly by yours truly. Thanks for the heads up buddy. Traffic is rocking this week.. And yet still we are virtually unknown.
We are currently trending as the 5,000th most popular site on the internet for the month of July according to Quantcast.
And that includes every site out there. From google to twitter to wal mart to us. Last month we ranked unofficially as the 2,200th most popular site with our 566,000 unique visitors...
To give you an idea...Calculated Risk is ranked somewhere around # 13,000 and Dealbreaker is about number # 11,000
So we are kicking some major ass...the reason our ranking is so high even though those site do twice our page views, is because of our huge number of monthly uniques...
Everyday still 77-80% our traffic is brand new...the IPs never having been recorded on our site even once before.
If you check our our Quantcast numbers you will see we are ranked #6,100 as of today, but that is because they only have been monitoring our traffic directly for about 10 days...so their extrapolation is incorrect. We will do over 300,000 uniques this month which is amazing considering July is the SLOWEST month for internet traffic of the year.
I will probably only leave these traffic figures up for a few hours, just so you regulars could see them....i don't like for it look like we're being boastful. It's all about spreading awareness and high traffic means more awareness.
Sending emails of our stories really helps....we regularly have 4,000 people per day who arrive from emailed links.
Thanks to everyone for all that you're doing to help spread the word and stop the heist.
