The Dignified Rant: The Code Pink Candidates

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!

The Code Pink Candidates

The idea expressed by Donald Trump that President Bush 43 "lied us into war" with Iraq is insane and repugnant, and should disqualify him from anything but the Green Party presidential contest.

To be fair, Trump might be the Code Kerry Candidate--since he was for the war before he was against it.

That's huge, is it not?

In what alternate world is Trump a conservative?

And for related yucks, Bernie Sanders cast two votes for the Clinton-era law that made regime change in Iraq and the development of democracy there our nation's official policy.

Feel the Bern!

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.
