In February, Politics Plus was little changed from January.  We decreased in every category, but only because the month is three days shorter.<\/font><\/p>\n

This February was a significant improvement over last.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our latest demographic data from <\/font>Quantcast<\/a>:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"QUS2-2015\"<\/p>\n

They miss a ton of raw data, but among those they can identify they are a valuable source of information.  We are mostly older, well educated, poor, and politically active.  <\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our latest ClustrMap:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"CMap2-2015\"<\/p>\n

ClustrMap misses a lot of, because many visits can\u2019t be easily traced to a location.  It shows only the visits from March 2 to January 13, when it was last updated.  Therefore it is unchanged from last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top five articles:<\/font><\/p>\n

Jane Smiley: Capitalist Pigs<\/a><\/font> 1\/17\/2010 1,651
<\/font>Warren on Vaccines<\/a><\/font> 2\/13\/2015 484
<\/font>Texas Is Premeditating Murder<\/a><\/font> 11\/25\/2014 363
<\/font>Good News from the FCC<\/a><\/font> 2\/5\/2015 309
<\/font>The Impasse Is No Mystery<\/a><\/font> 2\/11\/2015 301<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who followed an external link to that specific article.  I\u2019m pleased to see three  from February.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top non-blog\/news referrers:<\/font><\/p>\n

Care2<\/a><\/font> 2,103
<\/font>Google<\/a><\/font> 1,695
<\/font>Stumbleupon<\/a><\/font> 1,138<\/font><\/p>\n

Two are down.  Stumbleupon is up.<\/font><\/p>\n

Normally I have included fifteen here, but these seven are the only ones with two or more referrals.  That\u2019s down three from last month.  Putting their links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this \u201clinkey love\u201d is our thank you for their support.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top commentators.  As the resident Big Mouth, I don\u2019t count.  Those who leave their URLs in their comment headers, also get \u201clinkey-love\u201d here.<\/font><\/p>\n

There are over 15, because of a tie.  People who submit articles to Care2 can use their submitted news link from there.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 254,594 links on other websites.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of Midnight on March 1, we have 5,400 articles and 61,387 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

Kudos to Lynn for posting the 61,000th comment.<\/font><\/p>\n

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to <\/font>Gravatar<\/a>.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use as your avatar.  Whenever you comment under that email address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that image will become your avatar.<\/font><\/p>\n

As the New Year continues to unfold, it\u2019s crystal clear that the Republican Party is too incompetent to govern, even on those rare occasions, when they appear to want to do so. In addition, they have no shortage of greed, lies, and hate.  They are getting away with it, because the habitat of most Americans is intersection of political ignorance and apathy, and most news media reinforce both.  We still have our work cut out for us.<\/font><\/p>\n

Thank you for all that you do, here and elsewhere.  You are what makes this site happen!!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
