A Word About Blog Traffic

Historically, my posts have received as many as 60-70 views at the most, never any more. 20-30 is probably more common. However, a post I made in September called "Leaders" has been viewed 231 times according to my blog statistics, and my pre-election October 28 post "What's Wrong With White People?" has been viewed 413 times, with still something like 50 views a day to Politerazzo, many of them to that post

 Something much bigger than my blog is driving people to my blog. Raul shared the post to Facebook, but that was a link to where I posted it on Daily Kos, so I do not know what is going on. I do know that when I googled "What's Wrong With White People?" my Daily Kos diary was the third item on the list, and this blog was the first item on the third page. Still, how many people google that phrase?  No one other than Raul has left a comment, so I cannot tell where all of these pageviews are coming from.

All of which is just interesting.

Speaking of interesting, I was just looking at that picture I pasted up above, and I thought "That looks like some other country", and "That traffic looks really bad."  The picture is attached to a caption that says "The world's largest traffic jam happened last year in China."  Must have been a doozy.
