Team LoD

From veteran journalist Carl Prine

Well, we set another record at LoD last month.

Thanks to Mike Yon, the inimitable Courtney Messerschmidt and U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey’s poopy reading list, we garnered the most monthly hits since I took over in March.

Yah! Go team LoD!

Because we have so many new readers, I thought we might want to take a look at the top stories from last month, divided by author.

Commanders eat after their troops so I’ll go last.

Commodore Courtney Messerschmidt:

1.  Oh, Snap!  Courtney debuts at LoD with her own column, chooses to talk about Palestine and manages to peeve dozens of readers.  Yeah, but you love it!  Don’t lie.
2. Wonderbras & Flat Tops.  Poised to soon pass Snap! in popularity, Courtney’s latest features strategy smarty pants Michael C. Horowitz.  No, he doesn’t wear a bra.  She really will take over this blog.
3. A Woman for All Reasons.  The interview that made her the blogging sensation that’s sweeping the nation, hundreds of visitors continue to check it out.  Some pictures aren’t work friendly.  Coincidence?  I think not!

Major General Mike Yon:

1.  Men at War.  Mike at his best photographs and describes a moving ceremony for our combat dead in Afghanistan.  Climb to glory, Spartans.  
2.  Edvard Munch in the Marijuana Patch.  Yon shows a unique ability to identify pot and lumps of earth that look like Expressionist  paintings.  Coincidence?  I sent him a strobe light, Pink Floyd album and Doritos just to be safe. 
3. Operation Flintlock Part II.  No, I have no idea why the second story was more popular than the first.  And, no, he’s also not wearing a bra in this one.   

Field Marshal President For Life Me:

1. Best & Worst Presidents.  I riff on Michael Cohen’s now infamous foreign policy parlor game.  You loved it!  
2. Six the Hard Way.  I’m itchin’ for a fight and am willing to raise your Tricare fees and delay your retirement to prove it. You hated it but couldn’t stop clicking! Alas, no bras.  
3. Dempsey’s Reading List Sucks.  Well, it does.  Hits still coming!  It’s touched a nerve with junior officers and NCOs.  I’ve got your back!  Unless you fly a Huey.  Damned Hueys.
