Andrew Sullivan - know as Fudgie the Clown in these here parts - outdoes himself with this:
For reasons that took me quite by surprise, the View From Your Window [reader submitted photos - DtP] feature is easily the most popular on the blog. There is no right or left to it, except visually. It can be red or blue. But it is always somewhere quite specific, where someone lives, and it seems to tell a kind of empirical truth in a very truthy world. The Dish gets emails with window views all the time.
It takes a special sort of cluelessness to admit - especially when you're supposed to be a professional blogger blogging on affairs of state - that the most popular feature of your blog is the one element of it that you have absolutely no part in creating and has nothing to do with what your blog is supposed to be about.
Good job there, Andrew.
