The list leans left, and I'm not buying the "Illinois is a Democratic state" argument. Nor am I doubting Alexa's numbers, but I just have this sneaking suspicion that Illinois public employees are surfing....surfing...and surfing political sites when they should be working for us.

Hat tip to McHenry County Blog.
