HOLY SH*T: Eric Olsen likes to talk about “InstaPower,” but here’s something that puts it in perspective. John Leo linked to me in his column, which is sending me referrals from U.S. News and from the Townhall.com and JewishWorldReview sites where his column runs. I typically send somebody I link to between a few hundred and a few thousand visitors. So far today, I’ve had about 68,000 pageviews, breaking my previous record by about 17,000 — and exceeding a typical Monday’s traffic by more like 25,000. InstaPundit also got linked by Slate’s “On Other Websites,” which sent a fair amount of traffic — but that’s happened before, and it’s done nothing like this. All hail LeoPower!

UPDATE: At 11:15 it’s 72,589. I’m going to bed, where I’ll dream about what life would be like if I got just one dollar per pageview. . . .
