I have readers?!
I've been watching my site traffic at statcounter but yesterday I decided to check the more sophisticated trackers provided by my web server company. It turns out that for a variety of reasons, mostly related to the blog being a subdomain, statcounter wasn't counting many of my visitors. My site traffic is about five times what I thought it was and its growing rapidly. I had over twice as many visitors in March than February.
I can't imagine who all these people are that read my blog. The only way I can react to this is to take myself less seriously, so I'm going to write a less than serious post about a very serious issue.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more public outcry in opposition to a bill legalizing same-sex civil unions in Illinois. The bill passed in committee and is earning positive editorials from around the state.
I don't understand the argument that it somehow threatens "traditional" marriage. I've heard of people getting divorced for a lot of reasons but "a gay couple moved in next door" isn't one of them. If the conservative evangelical political movement is concerned about protecting marriage then they need to start calling out conservative leaders with multiple marriages like Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giulliani.
Anyway, I would like to make a helpful suggestion to groups lobbying for the civil unions bill in Illinois. They need take advantage of the news that rocker Joan Jett and Carmen Electra are now dating.

Carmen Electra also appeared in an awesome Joan Jett music video, which you can see at Youtube.
All I'm saying is that if someone brought Carmen Electra and Joan Jett to lobby the Illinois General Assembly in favor of the civil unions bill that even the most homophobic conservatives would completely forget why they ever had any objections. It would pass in no time! Am I right?
