In November, Politics Plus dropped in all categories.  The reason is quite simple.  I was gone for 1\/3 of the month, out sick  Therefore the poor showing does not concern me.<\/font><\/p>\n

There is an extra, because there was a tie for 15th place.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some linkey-love in return  The best ways you can spread the message to others is to use the share button at the bottom of each article to list our articles on the the networking sites where you belong. Quote PP articles on your own blogs also helps.  The operative commandment here is \u201cthou shalt steal<\/strong>.\u201d  We\u2019re on the same side here, and I encourage it.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that\u2019s OK.  Just link back, please.  Also, feel free to swipe my graphics in the articles.  If they are labeled with our Politics Plus URL, they are my work.<\/font><\/p>\n

The top fifteen commenters for November are not missing this time, because I actually remembered to copy them off in time on the night of the 30th.  Here they are.  The widget is in the right column.  I don\u2019t count, as I\u2019m the resident big mouth, and I try to reply to every comment, except replies directed at someone else.  Those who leave their URLs in their comments, get linkey-love here. <\/font><\/p>\n
