Waldo, typing furiously in his bath, likes to think he runs a high-minded, if sometimes intellectually combative- salon of ideas for the world here.
Imagine his disappointment when I told him how Blogger now offers stats on the leading search inquiries that bring readers to one's blog. He was in a festive mood, having marked WLJ's fifth anniversary last week.
"Tell me, boy," he commented. "What brings the most readers to my emporium of thought?"
"Feet."
"What?"
"Feet. More particularly, Sarah Palin's feet. Four of the top ten search queries have been for sarah palin feet photos; sarah palin feet; sarah palins feet photos; and sarah palin feet pictures. 1647 queries, all told."
"Change and decay in all I see," Waldo muttered. "Hand me that new typewriter ribbon."
Otherwise known as bread and circuses.
