Each day, we post news, entertainment and sports articles on the Daily Page. I like to keep track of what the most popular links are. It gives me a good idea of the kinds of topics our readers are interested in. As we get ready to close out the year, let's take a look at how our big stories compare to some of the national media's consensus top stories.
| Their Big Story | Our Big Story |
| Valerie Plame exposed as CIA agent | Carolina Panthers cheerleaders exposed as drunken skanks |
| Bush chooses John Roberts & Sam Alito to replace William Rehnquist & Sandra Day O'Connor | INXS chooses J.D. Fortune to replace Michael Hutchence |
| Pope John Paul II dies | The West Wing's John Spencer dies |
| "Black Thursday" terrorist attack in London | WalMart's "Black Friday" sale list |
| Natalee Holloway goes missing in Aruba | Dave Chappelle goes missing in South Africa |
| Iraqis give birth to a new constitution | Golden Retriever gives birth to a green puppy |
| Hurricane Katrina sinks New Orleans | "Love boat" scandal sinks Minnesota Vikings |
| Northwestern Pakistan and Indian Kashmir devastated by 7.6-magnitude earthquake | Britney Spears devastated by marriage to, divorce from Kevin Federline |
| America grapples with sensitive end-of-life issues in the Terri Schiavo case | South Park grapples with sensitive religious issues in the Scientology episode |
| Consumers hurt by rising gas prices | The Apprentice's Rebecca hurt when Randall refuses to allow Trump to hire her too |
To be honest, readers click on serious articles too, but not nearly as much as on weird news, celebrity stories and anything about the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders. A real news bonanza would have been if one of those cheerleaders had been caught in that bathroom with Britney Spears, a green Golden Retriever puppy and a sneak preview of WalMart's sale list. Now that's a story!
