June: Best. Month. Evah!

Posted on | June 24, 2010 | 18 Comments

Yes, it’s official: At about 5 p.m. today, we recorded hit #146,806 for June, making this the highest-traffic month since The Other McCain switched to WordPress format in January.

The traffic has been great this month. The revenue? Not so much. Which means it’s time to remind our readers about the Coolest Swag Evah!

Here’s the design featured on the mug:

We’ve already received our initial order of six dozen mugs and, with the help of Mrs. Other McCain and our numerous children, I’ve begun packing up mugs and shipping them to our most reliable tip-jar hitters. Maybe some of you guys who’ve already received your mugs can testify in the comments to how wicked awesome they are.

Let me emphasize that no one can buy these mugs. These are gifts — just a small token of our appreciation for the readers who have contributed to keep the blog going. Also, my daughter’s getting married in two weeks, so there’s another reason to hit the tip jar.

    Got my mug a couple of weeks ago — sorry, Stacey, I should have dropped you a note, but life has been busy! That was a very nice note you included, even if no pictures of Alyssa Milano in the buff were attached.

    However, I was not so busy that I couldn’t use this very nice mug for its intended purpose: coffee!! And on many occasions! Thanks for sending it.
