I got more hits on my site in one day than ever before with my "Top Ten Reasons Why Sarah Palin Quit" blog (see post just beneath this one). Hits from The Economist and various other publications, and hits from as far away as Great Britain, and a bunch from - surprise! - ALASKA. Interestingly, through all of it, I got only one comment and, to the author of that comment, I say THANK YOU. You are a brave woman. I got many personal emails, but it seems that most people who read blogs like mine - blogs which tend to usually not be political in nature - don't want to get too involved in public commentary when it deals with politics.
I wondered about this for all of 3 seconds yesterday and decided, by the end of the first second, that this could be for any number of reasons: you don't want to reveal your political slant, you like the blog but hate that day's post, you are a closet Sarah Palin fan but don't want anyone to know, or you're plotting your revenge against me in a more public, painful, physical manner.
Whatever it might be, for me, I'll do as my dad always told me to do - keep plugging along and writing about whatever comes to mind on any given day. You can deem it good, bad, indifferent, or that it just plain sucks. But it'd be so much more fun if you people would get involved every now and then, for crying out loud! You're out there, so, by all means, comment.
As for Sarah and politics, if and when I have more time, I'll start another blog. A political one. One that will send many running for their switchblades, bats, knives and torches. What can I say? I like a little excitement every now and then. By the way, I created that link above for your own (and my) amusement. It has no real lifespan. Well, not unless you want it to...
