Maybe I'm just reading the chart wrong, but the higher numbers are at the bottom, hence what appears as a dip is really a spike.

No, you're reading it upside down. Think of it as a Billboard Top 40 chart. The higher the rank, the more people visit that site. FR is ranked around 1300, while DU is all the way down around 23,000.

I love how the chart graphically portrays the dramatic DU plunge from the Peak of Outrage in early November 2002 (election week) to the blackest depths of the Trench of Despondency in mid-January 2003. The miserable minions of the loony left have since registered a modest recovery bounce, I see.

I gave her the ring
and she gave me the finger,
It must have been something I said
These old memories are just starting to linger,
just ramblin' around in my head
