TalkLeft will hit 5 million visitors today. We began in June, 2002 with this post, some of which we got right...

It has become readily apparent that this Administration is not interested in preserving our rights, only in convincing a fearful public that it is fighting terrorism.

We really like the way the ACLU has jumped on Mr. Ashcroft and the administration since Sept. 11.

We think the FBI has no business engaging in domestic spying. Not after all its past abuses.

And some of which turned out to be wishful thinking:

It seems like progressive and liberal websites and blogs are sprouting daily. Hopefully it will be in time to cause a major defeat for the Republicans in the 2002 elections.

2002 and 2004 are now behind us. Hopefully we'll be here for 2006. If at first you don't succeed.....

I'm off to court in the mountains ....50 degrees in Denver, snowing up there. I hope you'll catch up with our weekend posting, and check out the great blogs nominated for the Koufax Liberal blogging awards (links on top left). This is also an open thread for you.

    Amazing - I remember 110 Baud modems and Dec band telewriters.... But I thought you picked three interesting things you got "right:"
    It has become readily apparent that this Administration is not interested in preserving our rights, only in convincing a fearful public that it is fighting terrorism.
    Really? I must have missed that as I was passing through the police state on the way to preschool dropoff today.
    We really like the way the ACLU has jumped on Mr. Ashcroft and the administration since Sept. 11.
    Certainly that has been and remains your *opinion*.
    We think the FBI has no business engaging in domestic spying. Not after all its past abuses.
    I agree with you, but by "past performance" standards you'd have to disenfranchise most of the Democrat leadership. Hey, not a bad idea, now that it comes up! -C

    I just talked with your Diebold rep, and he said that for a few thousand bucks he could have your visitor number up 1000%, like that. Something to do with computers.... :-) Congratulations, TL, on doing it the old-fashioned way, by earning it. --
