The internet tells me that today is Delurking Day.
Lurking is when you read a blog, but never comment. Like you, here. Delurking Day is when you delurk and leave a comment for a change.
Come on. I know you are here. I have a statistics tracker. There are scores of you that come back every day, yet only about three of you leave comments. This day is all about you. Think of it as your time to shine.
If I get at least 10 commentors today, I will post every day for the rest of this month. That is what you call win-win. Or something like that.

Charity, you did a nice job covering the Republican Party for Channel 17. There’s my comment, back to lurk mode…

Here’s your second comment.

I thank you for the link to Big Bag of Wind. I’ve gotten some referred visitors from this site. I too have a lack of comments. And I’m trying to give away free stuff! It’s tough out there, Charity! BTW, have you participated in our 2012 presidential preference poll? It’s never to early to start thinking about the next election, you know.

Great post, I confess to being a part-time lurker

Hey, I’ll get you past your usual 3. I’m a first-timer here, though — found you when I did a search for Delurking Day 2009. Love your blog title, look forward to reading more! A few hours left to get the other 6…

Happy belated “Delurking Day” Charity. I had tried to leave a comment on your “Candy Cane” blog post before Xmas (and my subsequent, nasty cold), but my browser labelled you as a potential “phishing site”, which is pretty ridiculous & weird IMO.

Sorry I wuz late …
but what happens when the blogger is merely lurking?
Anyway … turn off Gush Dumbaugh and keep doing useful things.

Here’s that bail-out pome (from September) the PC Lefties don’t like cause I use the A-word. I guess the woman here would be considered a yahoo redneck:
Dark Winter
Dead Winter
how much to bury
my country?
to bury my child
unborn aborted
by Wall Street doctors
without licences
without rules
except to kill everything
that makes a life
makes a country?
how much
how much more?
the candidates say
they know
it’s all gone sour
the newspapers say
vultures circle
above fall colors
waiting for winter kills
how much more?
the electricity
turned off today
tomorrow the phone
my dead child
in the trash heap
feeding the homeless
I believed things
couldn’t get worse
I believed in a God
who gave me his word
and I believed people
had goodness enough
to stop at the edge of horror
now we have all taken
the leap
how much to bury us all?
I saved my child
from paying the bill
for death
the heat just went off
I saved myself
some final words
though we’ve gone
beyond words
help us we say
why won’t you help us?
why won’t you stop
and turn back on
some light
some goodness?
my child
my country
you bastards
how much more?

I’m here for the same reason as Mister Guy, just googled Delurking Day and you popped up. But here goes #9, we’ll hope for a number 10 and a month of happy blogging
