Today we enter into a new year……it will most likely be filled with lots of crap and I do mean CRAP about the 2016 elections……should present people like me with a wealth of subjects on which to mock and to laugh…..and inform.

I started this blog in 2006 while recovering from an injury I got while working in an area devastated by Hurricane Katrina….an injury that left me unable to work and this blog became my outlet.  Originally it was for me to cut and paste stuff that I enjoyed reading to expand my knowledge….but shortly I went back to writing my thoughts on stuff that I found interesting…..and as they say “the rest is history”.

Since the beginning I have 1030 followers which is not ground breaking but it is good for a blog that has done nothing to promote itself other than finding people with like mind or those that take exception to my views.  This blog has 19,021 comments……people expressing their views on a wide array of subjects…….and during this time IST has gotten 187,00 hits….again not ground breaking but those that chose to come and read my stuff and for that I am very grateful.  During this time I have blocked 1.3 million unwanted comments.  Finally in those years I have written 7637 post and that comes to about 2.7 million words for the average post contains 350 words….short?  Yes…..my grandfather said “why write a novel when a paragraph will do?”

As we begin a new year I want to express my gratitude to all my followers and regular readers and commenters….writing a blog everyday is a daunting task but my followers make it a labor of love….THANK YOU.

I will stop now and wish everyone a Happy New Year….now go enjoy your day filled with family, fun, food and football.  We will be back at it in full force tomorrow.

THANX AGAIN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
