TPBP Week in Review

Ah, it's been another satisfying week here at The Pseudo Body Politic. We set new records in site traffic, and total posts. We also added blogger Aaron, who has already been a great addition to TPBP, and managed to add to the cultural lexicon by creating the word "terroristin’" in a post earlier today. You can't put a price on new verbs folks.

Also, my friend Dome still hasn't paid me his outstanding $1 debt (as he predicted that TPBP would last less than a week). Obviously, the continued existence of TPBP is a bitter affront to his pessimistic worldview. Ah, well, onto the TPBP reader awards...

Comment of the week goes to reader "pw" whose contributions on the Chinese Democracy post made even me feel almost knowledgeable about the level of internal dissent within China (clearly, no small feat). The post itself may have been so-so, but it's really worth going back and reading the comments, if only to see pw's really insightful thoughts.

Reader of the week goes to..."pw", with a dishonorable mention going to "nicholas" who's comments were so offensive as to merit deletion roughly half the time. It may have been a high traffic week here at TPBP, but it wasn't the best in terms of reader participation. So, step it up, and challenge "pw's" current stranglehold on the weekly awards.

Joking aside, thanks to all of you that stopped by to make TPBP part of your lives this past week. If you think this blog is worthwhile, please let others know about it, as having a sizable readership makes it far more likely that we'll be able to continue providing (nearly) quality posts on a daily basis. I hope you can check back again.
