The Sept. 19 "Anthropology" has had more pageviews (Google, why couldn't you just say "readers?" Why a "pageview?" Because one reader may click on it more than once?  Big deal. Do you think one reader has gone click, click, click, click, click 2,077 times?  Don't be dumb.)  than the remaining eight posts combined (Google, why a "top 9?"  Who ever heard of a "top 9?")?  That's astonishing, I don't know why. The other "Anthropology" and "Red Legacy" (#8 (out of nine???)) are both on Liu Shaoqi. He was the president so that makes a little more sense.

"Lebron James" #2. Makes sense. The American pop culture. If I wrote a post on orgasms, "Anthropology" would not be #1 (I don't think).

Good to see Mr. Chang Mu's article is being read. And hey Chinese censors, guess where it's being read?  Guess which country is #5 in countries of readers? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

"Susan Sontag" from almost six years ago, wow (Google, what do you think, Susan Sontag's clicked on that 60 times?  She was dead when I wrote that.).

*Make that July.
