6. Because Sarah Palin has a new scandal about every 6 hours...

So traffic spikes for about 3 hours, then subdues for a couple of hours so people can sleep.. then she does something else stupid, or someone else discovers another idiotic thing she did over long and distinguished career, and the boards go crazy again... so Skinner puts the smack down on the boards to let us bitch about her freely... :)
