We're An American Blog (Woo Hoo)

One of my readers commented that my blog contains a lot of "American" references that some of my other readers might not know about. Hence this post: Most of my readers are American. (I'm not saying this to demean his comment... it is a valid point... However what bits of American culture somebody from Europe might or might not know is beyond me. I will grant that the Ann CoulterA conservative columnist known primarily for ad-hominem attacks against liberal politicians. Calls Arabs "ragheads", 9-11 widows "witches", and most recently called Presidential Candidate John Edwards a "faggot" at the CPAC convention, a gathering of the Republican party's top names. reference was a tuffy though.)

Anyway, here are the last 100 visits to J.I.P. based on my Site Counter tool. As you can see, most of my readers come from America. (The high number of readers from continental Europe find their way to my site through blind Google searches, as opposed to clicking on links, or from their "Favorites" list, so a large portion of them I don't really expect qualify as "readers".) I'm quite surprised to see only 1 visitor out of the last 100 is from Thailand (the other one being me). It's usually 5 or 10. Perhaps it's a glitch.
p.s. That's my mother down there in Florida checking in on me. I see my sister in Chicago stopped by. Still no dot over Bath, New York where my father lives.

UPDATE:

OK... I did a manual count this time, to see what the results actually are. (The numbers don't add up to 100, because I had to take out 8 "bot" hits from the machine that captures the images that you see pop up in the "Snap Preview" pane. The Singapore numbers are high today because I just wrote an article that includes the keyword "Singapore".)

So here is the official breakdown:

United States 28 Australia 12 Unknown Country 11 Singapore 6 Thailand 6 United Kingdom 4 China 4

Canada 3 Phillippines 2 Russian Federation 2 Hong Kong 2 Sweden 1 France 1 Belgium 1

Finland 1 Egypt 1 Greece 1 Germany 1 Korea 1 Ireland 1 Romania 1
