Yesterday, this site's hit meter went out of sight,

I wonder why? Could it be that the main post, Sex with Aunty Em, included the word "sex?" Could it be that the title could have been "Sex with a Baboon" or "Sex with a Freshly-Shelled Walnut" and worked just as well? Naw. No one cares about sex. Everyone wants to read about politics.

If you believe that, I have a large body of water in the Sierras straddling the California and Nevada borders for sale.

Since opening this site in April 2007, we've categorized our posts under several headings—politics, power, current events, Bay Area Communities, Demographics, humor, war, sex, scandals, Paris Hilton, and more, too many to list here. I'll give you three guesses which of these draws the most visitors.

Hint: Nancy Pelosi. "Tee hee," as my best friend would say. Nancy drew about two clicks and one of those was apparently from a congenital Pelosi watcher who proceeded to rip her to shreds. Seems all of the political heat originates somewhere to the right of center on the Lib-Con line.

The seeming lack of political temperature in the L quadrant may mean bad news for the Democrats if the Republicans manage to get a measure on the ballot to change California's method of counting presidential electoral votes. Now, if someone introduced a proposal to require naked pages in the State Assembly, the L's would come out of the woodworks.

Do C's have sex? Below the radar they just might. SFist points out that the man behind the "Create a Republican World" ballot initiative was once sued for biting a woman's butt in a bar, whereupon he declared that she should have been flattered. A jury later flattered her to the tune of $25,000. Is that the kind of man we want running California? Hmmmmm.

My point here is that Paris Hilton, et al, are necessary to the perpetuation of the blog-o-sphere, yes, but not everyone has the superstructure, beauty, and stupidity to become a bimbo. California, like all states, is filled with those blessed with intelligence. Where are the symmetrical and asymmetrical Mensa members when the L's need them?

By the way, we fully intend to continue our policy of mixing sex and politics. Remember these words:

To everything there is a season
A time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time for sex and a time for politics.
