The Dignified Rant: So They Hate Pakistanis and Cartoons, Too

The Undead Archives

I have finally salvaged my pre-Blogger TDR archives and added them into Blogger. They are almost totally in the form of one giant post for each month. And the formatting strayed from the originals. Sorry. But historians everywhere can rejoice that this treasure trove of my thoughts is restored to the world. And for your own safety, don't click on any old Geocities links or any of their similar variations in my posts. Those sites have been taken over by bad and/or dangerous sites. Hover over links first!

So They Hate Pakistanis and Cartoons, Too

Please, after more than six years at war against crazed Islamo-fascist nutballs, can we finally stop worrying about what we do or don't do to inspire them to fits of beheading orgies?

A senior al-Qaida leader has urged Pakistanis to help Afghans fight U.S.-led coalition forces and condemned President Pervez Musharraf for arresting Arab and Afghan fighters and handing them over to Washington.

In a rare on-camera interview given to Pakistan's Geo TV and broadcast late Monday, Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed reiterated al-Qaida's claim of responsibility for the June 2 suicide car bombing on the Danish embassy in Islamabad that killed six people.

What doesn't set them off?

Just kill the bastards.

I've stopped looking at my statistics because they make no sense since 2023, or so. In April 2024, for example, I'm credited with over 160,000 hits. And since Blogger started keeping statistics, I am credited with about 2-1/2 million hits. I simply don't trust Blogger stats.

My old statistics package, Site Meter, seemed to miss a lot and even disappeared visits after they've appeared.

I added a new StatCounter late in 2016. So far it shows far fewer hits than Blogger and is more in line with the old Site Meter. But it too seems to be missing what appear to be Facebook links that Blogger picks up. And oddly, the total in the counter has dropped a lot after I went over 100K. That's odd. So I'm not sure what my audience size is. It is puzzling to me.

Of course, it is quite possible that the basic problem is my failure to use Facebook and Twitter for keeping and expanding an audience. I noticed that my audience size fell by over 75% by the old statistics as Facebook and Twitter took off. I may be a blogosaur! So be it. On the bright side, traffic picked up significantly during 2021 and 2022. I don't know why. It dropped last year but has picked up some of the losses so far this year. Again, don't know why.
