Holiday and whatnot.

And check out this out:

During the fall 2004 Presidential election campaign, BlogPulse mined and analyzed politics-specific data in a variety of ways. This page summarizes the findings, trends and insights from that analysis. It includes lists of the top blogs, media sources and web sites cited most frequently in blogs, and graphs that track blog buzz around key events, issues, personalities and tactics.

Charts, graphs, interesting stuff. Note that all measures of influence track the number of citations of blogs or media sources by bloggers only; the analysis measures links and not traffic. If they'd included a traffic comparison, Drudge would rank near the New York Times. Also, Drudge's influence among bloggers is vastly underrepresented by a tally of links because he doesn't have permanent links to his individual items; bloggers just link directly to the story that he features and usually don't assign credit. This is a major caveat to the study.

Otherwise, I'm pleased to have made the list of blogs and amused by the fact that I edged out the Kerry Campaign Blog in citations. Simple pleasures. Then again, Oliver Willis also made the list, so take it for what it's worth.
