Brittney Spears Endorses Presidential Candidate?

There's a rumor (rumour for you brits) going around that Brittney Spears has endorsed a candidate for President of the US. How did I hear about this rumor? Well...

It seems that I actually made up the rumor in a desperate and pathetic attempt to get hits. The really sad thing is that you, dear reader, are reading this which means that a Brittney Spears Endorsement holds some interest for you. Possibly, this could be an indication that you need psychiatric help.

I'm writing such a miserable excuse for a post because it seems like all my posts which involve at least a modicum of thought and writing ability get the least amount of attention. Conversely, the throwaway, hardly put any thought into it type posts seem to do at least as well, if not better than the "thought-provoking" ones.

In the realm of "hits" I consider myself a moderately successful blogger. Still, I'm always looking for ways to jack those hits up to the stratosphere. I had an idea and I thought it was a good one; I would interview some of the bloggers from Blogdom of God. I figured that if Jen can get away with a stunt like that to get more hits, surely I could do the same for the blogs at Blogdom of God.

As a precaution I thought I would check Jen's page to make sure she hadn't interviewed anyone from the Blogdom yet. Scanning down the page...it looked pretty good...until almost at the bottom and there I see Adrian Warnock TBA. Arrgghhh!!

At this point I started ranting to myself, "Where were you Jen when I was arguing with Adrian, trying to get him to accept the fact that it's okay to kill terrorist leaders?" Not only that, but I would've found it interesting to interview him. I wonder if it would be crass to try and get to the rest of the Blogdom before Jen does?

With that brilliant idea shot down, I'm now searching for some other nifty gimmicks and geegaws to get more hits. In the meantime, I guess I'll try posting some actual content. (except today's post of course)

Participating in KOTB didn't really help my traffic, but commenting on various blogs seems to help, as I got visits from people speaking Malay, Korean and Norwegian this week.

Well it's not that far fetched, JD. Remember when the press thought it was news when Madonna "endorsed" Gen. Wesley Clarke? If celebs can "endorse" candidates then so can we. I ought to issue a press release stating that I endorsed the President's re-election bid.

About blog entries, usually, the entries that I think will generate comments and trackback pings, never do. I gave up trying to figure out what the readers and other bloggers might like. I just post what I feel like posting.
