Independent Sources Celebrates Milestone

Looking back over the past 18 months or so and the stories that got us to two million page views we see a mix of politics, humor, and female hotness.

Most recently and in a class of its own (about 300 links/comments) we have: Top Ten Unintentionally Worst URLs

Also in a class of her own, we have Melissa Theuriau (she’s essentially a franchise).

While she’s no Melissa Theuriau, attractive topless lesbian high school teachers can never be discounted.

The same thing goes for smokin’ hot teachers who moonlight as bikini models.

Our ever-popular “plastic surgery run amok” series (including “Man Gets Painful Butt Implants” which lead to one of the first editorial disagreements between the Independent Sources staff with Senior Admin storming out of the then-editorial offices in Santa Monica).

Then there is the story of our first bonafide hit. Back when no one had heard of us (and for good reason), we became the #4 result on Google for “Cambodian Fighting Midgets“) resulting in much traffic and much celebration amongst our staff.

Of course, and sadly, life is more than just fighting midgets and hot topless teachers. Fortunately, we had some success with more important stories such as our battles with Michael Hiltzik and Conspiracy theory nuts.

But it all started with our first story (probably responsible for a whopping 5 of the 2 million page views we’ve gotten) and possibly the worst title ever bestowed on a blog posting. Mudslide Victims Seek Bad Economic Policy. [Note the link goes back to the original Blogger home of Independent Sources and our original name "Informed Sources" which we were forced to surrender when it was shown that we were, in fact, not particularly informed].

We hope that you’ve enjoyed our blog as much as we’ve enjoyed bringing it to you.

On behalf of Senior Admin, Chad and Insider, we’ll see you in another million!
