It is hard to believe that this little web site has in 2012 had 35,689,581 hits just from the 2nd quarter of this year as of December 27, 2012. We lost our total hit  history about April of this year when we had a hack attack that took most of the records of your site from 2007-2009. So this yearly hit history is pretty impressive if you ask me.

We are the Fastest growing news and opinion website in the Inland Empire. Why? I think it is because along with our simple format we have some of the most interesting and opinionated writers around. You either love them or hate them but there is no middle ground. The middle ground is the scorched earth of politics.

What a great site this has turned out to be! Like most blogs we have our collection of busy bees and gadflies, we also have a pretty impressive stable of movers and shakers who come on to post.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the 10s of thousands of readers who make CactusThorns a regular stop on their internet browse. We have a core group of about 3500 everyday readers who have made us a top 5% blog in the world. Wow… Thank you.
