Reading that trump transcript gave me a headache.

I enjoyed your analysis of Trump's comments the best. Looks like Trump is joining, Pets, babies, and sex, as the blog subjects that draw ratings.

One distinguishing feature of communist governments is that they have all - from Lenin and Stalin to the Castro brothers and Ugo Chavez - killed more of their own people than they have foreigners.

I'm not surprised that the post about the book about the Cat-Marnell-effect wouldn't make the top five.

Back in Wurtzel's day we heard that gals knew that wrapped legs were a good way to hold on to a guy, now Cat and a book researcher discovered that lips work. Presumably in twenty years someone will discover that there's a common denominator.

I'm elderly (get off my lawn) &, obviously confused. How is the data set "most viewed" arrived at? I'm a yuge Althouse fan/follower, usually checking in 5+ times a day (old, nasty & retired) & I'll usually follow the "click for more" &, sometimes, check comments for a particularly controversial posting. Otherwise, I read & move on (not Soros). So, if I view a post & move on (still not Soros) I guess that counts as a non-view? SMOD 2016!

Further to earlier, whatever your belief, have a very personally happy Easter!

Birkel said...

Thank you, MikeD. And my best wishes to you and yours this fine Easter.

And also to the Althouse commentariat, especially the militant, aggressive atheists.

@MikeD

Good question.

If you come to the main page of the blog and read a post or various posts, the statistics tool won't know and it won't count.

Only if you click into the comments or come to the blog from a link from elsewhere would it count. Then you'd go to the "post page."

So it's not a good measure of what really interested people. Most readers don't click into the comments.

The list way overvalues things that got Instapundit links, because those people would have arrived at the post page.

As for the agnostics: you don't know what I wish you.

Barack Hussein Obama has done more to divide the nation than any one person in our Republic's history except, perhaps, John Brown.

Mr. Sanders wishes for a "political revolution" AND forgets that such, very often, very quickly morph into armed conflicts as demonstrated by this land in the 1770s and 1850s. He also forgets that the vast part of privately held guns in this nation are in the possession of those who oppose his views AND know how to use them. (I suggest that is why the Democrats and such socialists as are leagued with them wish to disarm the People of such modern and effective firearms.)

I think a lot has to do with timing. Some posts sit for hours at the top of the page. Others just minutes. That said, I'm not prepared to actually do the research to verify my hunch.
