Wow! Blog traffic exploded yesterday for 85 hits, smashing the old record of 59 for days when Matthew Yglesias doesn't link to my Saudi Arabia comments. I also finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was awesome. On the google-watch, this blog is apparently the #2 hit for "Umayyad tyranny." Finally, Daniel Berkman suggests googling for "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and clicking on the first link.
