Blogs of the Month: May 06

I will
actually be on vacation for the last part of the
month, so I thought I'd go ahead and post the five
most popular blog entries of the month, as they stand
today...and assuming that not much will change in the
next few days.
Numero Uno:
The DaVince Code: What we Know and DON'T Know About Religion
This late comer entry zoomed past all comers and flew to the top of the charts, and ended up being read more than fifty-percent more than all other blogs this month. (Despite on having been posted for just the last six days). It's generated quite a bit of discussion, in its reposted form over on the TPMCafe.
Numero Two-o:
Three Years Ago Today
My summary of the state of the Iraq War, three years after the "Mission Accomplished" photo-op. This entry spent most of the month solidly in the driver seat, before being crushed late by the Steve Nash-like surge of Davinci Code blog. (Can you tell where my mind is this week?)
Numero-Three-o:
MegaMarch: Thoughts on an Historic Day, Immigration, and Racism
I'm pleased folks are still reading this one, since the issue is still very much before us. New immigration bills are being proposed in the Senate as I write this. I would do well for us all to remember the marchers, their numbers, and their desire to be heard.
Fourth Place Tie:
Dan Fogelberg
I find it interesting that folks are still wandering by to read about this, despite the fact that it was posted some months back.
An Incredible Chicago Show and the Stone of Sisyphus:
And, in a nice symmetry, this entry about Chicago and their epic but unreleased CD, ends up tied with Dan Fogelberg.
Fifth Place:
The Frozen Margarita: How Tex-Mex Libation Met 7-11 Technology
Wow. Didn't see that one coming! Maybe people have vacation on the brain? Is Jimmy Buffet launching his summer tour? Who knows. But, as always, it's interesting to see what makes it on this list, and what doesn't.
