A Small Bragging Point...
We aren’t ones to boast about such things, but we’re patting ourselves on the back today. We opened this site in March (yes, I know the archives show January, but we didn’t start posting until March) and even then we weren’t sure we could keep it going. As Hugh Hewitt tutors: Bloggers blog everyday. Sure, we’ve missed a day here and there, but we’re busy, too.
I spend a lot of time involved in my studies. Thomas works, and continues his own private studies free of any classroom. He handles the majority of the work on the site, and a majority of our research. This post will be out 416th post, which averages out to two posts a day. Many people know that on certain days, we put up numerous posts as news permits. Four hundred sixteen posts later, we are finally over the 5000 hit mark.
In blogging terms, 5000 hits isn’t a lot. The elites in the blogosphere average thousands of hits per day. We’re still small potatoes. We’ll probably always be small fish in the big pond. But we’re not deterred. We have our readers, and they appreciate our views and wisdom in the world of politics, law, and current events. And we can never forget our readers; without YOU, we don’t exist.
So, yes. We are patting each other on the back for a job well done, thus far. The future looks bright. But above all, we owe this success to you, our readers. Here’s to the first 5000 hits, and to many more in the future. Have a rum and coke, and celebrate with us. ;)

ADDENDUM: We're not ones to overlook certain things. This is a post, not just a bragging point. We noticed AOL's welcome page today where they cite "A Bad Week For Republicans." I'm left scratching my head over this supposed news story. And I'm sure a good majority of our readers are wondering what I'm talking about.
Frist is indeed being probed right now. There is no doubt in that, and there are reasons for the government to launch the probe. DeLay was indicted, however the indictment is vague, and for the most part, baseless. So, for the GOP leadership in Congress, it has been a pretty rough week.
However, today the top GOP leader--President George W. Bush--stood behind Chief Justice John G. Roberts as Roberts addressed those assembled after he took his oath of office. This is a victory for our side this week, and should dwarf anything happening to either Frist or DeLay.Chief Justice Roberts will take his seat with his fellow justices this coming Monday as the Supreme Court reconvenes for it's new session. He will be the one with the gold stripes on his sleeve, and hopefully he will helm the Court through the muddy waters it has created in years past. Hopefully, this is where the Supreme Court cuts out a majority of it's activism.
Regardless of whether he can steer the Supreme Court away from activism, he will serve the court with humility, poise, and precision. He would bring a smile to his mentor's face had Chief Justice Rehnquist lived to see him make the court. And personally, Thomas and I hope he gives Ginsburg, Breyer, Stevens, Kennedy, and Souter absolute fits.
