This Is Public Occurrences

                                                              
Susan Sontag has quit clicking on her 2006** post.

Replacing it in Google's Top IX posts with the most "pageviews" is "Red Legacy In China," March 19, 2009 edition.

A new entry on the Top IX, "Seeking the Soul of China: "Women Hold Up Half The Sky," November 11, 2010 is number VI. That was a fun couple of posts.

This is the 1,289th post since inception in 2002. At the time of this writing there had been 16,120 pageviews of the entire blog since May***, 2010 (which is less than on the Huffington Post since then, I would guess). Of those 16,000 pageviews 2,402 have been ON ONE POST, "The Anthropology of the Cultural Revolution," September 19, 2009. Fifteen percent of all pageviews on that one post.

I remember getting the idea for that post that Sunday.*  I thought it was a good idea, yes I did. And a different approach, yes. That number and that percentage are inexplicable. Maybe if you defocus your eyes and look at the post images of copulating couples appear, I don't know.

In that general area, "Lisa Randall Vogue" is the number two Search Keyword. On January 1, 2008 I wrote a post on Dr. Randall. With accompanying photograph (which doesn't appear anymore). That post will now supplant "Anthropology" next month. Swine men.  Besides Lisa Randall, "blogger" and "public occurrences" (and a separate entry misspelled with one "r") the list is, "Wang Guangmei,"  "We Rise With Our Dreams," "North Korean military," "Song Binbin," and "Lebron James."

Had two readers from Mongolia yesterday, one from Argentina; two from United Arab Emirates this week, six from India. And fourteen from Latvia. China has fallen from fifth to seventh among countries of readers. After the U.S. the list is: UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, South Korea, China, The Netherlands, Denmark, and France.

I needed a break, thus these posts the last couple days.

* Ah yes, that Saturday.
**2005.
***Make that July.
