Open thread - and by the way, Happy Birthday AMERICAblog and its 5,258,231 visitors

This is the one year anniversary of launch. We've had 5,258,231 visitors over the past year, and traffic is growing. I hope that number gives Microsoft and the public relations people a special chill tonight.

Thanks to everyone who made that happen - from my fellow bloggers on this site, the other bloggers who are kind enough to link to us, and all of you AMERICAbloggers who visit regularly and make this a fun and effective community. :-)
