Atrios and Eschaton turn three years old today. Here is Atrios' first day of posting. Who would have thought in that time he would receive more than 50 million visitors. He's now averaging 100,000 visitors a day. Congratulations, A, and many happy returns.

On another blogging note, check out this article today on Markos of the Daily Kos.

Atrios and Daily Kos are the two most widely read liberal bloggers anywhere. All you need to do is read their blogs (and in Daily Kos's case, some of the diaries) and you'll see why. As to the time that goes into it,

[Markos'] typical day starts at 8 in the morning and does not end until well past midnight. Just responding to e-mails from readers, sources, the media and partners takes about three hours a day. He also spends hours researching political races, tracking polls, analyzing demographics data, and sifting through news articles. Posting an entry on his blog is the easy part: It usually takes about five minutes.

Here's an audio version of an interview with Markos on the beginnings of Daily Kos.

    So, is it Daily "Kawz" or is it Daily "Kohz"?

    "Kohs", as in Markos. Not sure why the networks give it such outlandish pronunciations. Kawwwwwwz, etc.

    Duncan Dunce desserves the Laziest Blogger of the Year Award and everyone knows it. He tries hard with his Keynesian defense of Social Security, but now he jus calls somebody "Wanker of the Day" and tries to pass it off as a post.
