Blog like a Champion

It is funny. I’ve written around 20 posts on this blog in three years. The most hits I received in a day was 21. This happened 4 days ago when I wrote a post about Barack Obama. I noticed the number of hits and immediately devised an FBI/CIA conspiracy in my head. I even joked about it with my wife and brother-in-law. Somebody in Washington or Arlington or somewhere top secret is paid to read every blog, every post, anywhere dealing with our president. I see some humor in that. I don’t pay much in taxes because I don’t get paid much with two technically part time jobs. So not many of my tax dollars are going toward random people reading my blog making sure I am not saying offensive things about the president. Sad things is, I care very little for politics and have completely stayed away from such divisive matters other than that most.  Judging by blog statistics, the most interesting thing I’ve ever taken the time to write about. Wow. It makes me want to close up shop. But before I do, I am not a terrorist, I am a teacher, pastor, and I wrote in a vote for Colin Powell (but I’ll likely vote for Obama in 2012 even though my dad will kill me). I like the idea of a military man for president. At least with a military man, you know there’s a chance he hasn’t sold out to popular opinion. Dodging a push for making a presidential bid was a pretty sweet move too. Anyway, back to Obama. He’s not Jesus and so is not our promised savior, but he is doing a good job with an economy in shambles, healthcare reform speed bumps, and the current need for immigration reform pushed aside for more pressing matters. With a smattering of miscellaneous thoughts both political and fiscal, I will call this the Obama Experiment and test the power of the blog to draw the attention of multiple Washington bureaucrats put in place by my tax dollars. I can’t wait for an IRS audit, a phone call from an FBI investigator, or maybe just a few extra hits on a blog nobody reads. Thanks Obama.
