The blogger software which hosts the Review is useful in that it tracks our viewership during a given day, week, or year. Or an approximate time during the day.
And it would appear that during a few odd times every few days, our readership seems to explode to an off the chart level.
And as much as we would like to believe this is the result of our extraordinary popularity, we realize this is probably just not the case.
It would appear an over-zealous fan may be attempting to log in and join the staff.
And we understand their desire to do so, as joining the Review team is just, well, just extraordinary!
Perhaps it is one of those Russian hackers we read so much about.
Except that we can track our traffic source, and countries of origin, and sadly, no one from Russia joined us those days.
While the vast majority of our visitors are from the Good 'Ol US of A, the country providing us the second most visitors is Germany.
We are big in Germany.
Perhaps German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to learn from the master how to hold power forever.
Merkel has only led Germany for a mere 10 years. She has a long way to go to be considered 'extraordinary.'
Or, perhaps, just like the unexplained popularity of David Hasselhoff's singing career in Germany, it's just something that defies logic.
In honor of our German friends, and in honor of our 38 year Democratic elected Massillon officeholder, Frank Cicchinelli, who is celebrating his new found 'Independence,' we bring you David Hasselhoff, singing Looking for Freedom shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The East Germans were celebrating their freedom from communism, just as Frank Cicchinelli is celebrating his freedom from the Democratic party.
