Nearly 5 million served at Sound Politics

Congratulations to Stefan Sharkansky, whose Sound Politics could get its 5 millionth reader today. Last I checked he was at 4,999,970.

That's pretty impressive. Sharkansky has a team of bloggers now. But he has been the heart and driving force behind the area's leading conservative blog, and one of the most popular local blogs of any sort.

I've been a daily reader since the earliest days. The work of Sharkansky and his liberal counterpart David Goldstein at horsesass.org helped inspire me to start this blog. They showed there is a thirst for political news in the state.

Some times what I read at Sound Politics can make me spitting mad or roll my eyes, like when folks there look for a corrupt or blundering liberal behind every corner.

But I've also learned things, gotten some fair criticism and found plenty of things to share with readers here.

Good work, Stefan.
