I was just looking at my site statistics and out of my last 500 hits from search engines (my log only shows the last 500), 125 came from searches for “Burton protest,” or some permutation. Plus, another 22 came from searches for the names of the women who organized it.
That search currently tops “is she right for me,” which continues to generate multiple hits per day, since this blog started.
Here are my top five strange or interesting searches from my current log:
-photos of naked women protesting on roads
-owen mulligan vermont pics naked
-does bill clinton support homeschooling [who cares? - CT]
-ivan jacobs vermont marijuana
-right-wing gop christian cognitive dissonance
I threw that last one in there for JD Ryan’s benefit.
Google is a window into the collective psyche of America, well, internet-using America, anyway.

Two words: Sera. Congi. More people have found my blog by Googling Sera Congi than by any other search term. I’m pretty sure.
I get a lot of hits from people googling Burlington Pols. I’m pretty high up in the rankings for a lot of names around here.
In fact I originally modeled my blog on the idea that local pols are narcissistic and would google themselves a lot generating lots of locally concentrated hits. And the hits have come. I dare you to google “Tom Licata,” “Time Ashe,” “Kesha Ram,” “Bernie Sanders,” “Owiso Makuku,” “Dennis Delany,” “Ed Adrian,” or “Paul Decelles.”
That doesn’t necessarily mean all these people are always googling themselves, but, you know. I mean pretty much probably, right?
