I Am Apparently the Face of Evil

I can track how many people come to this blog. Though I do not know who they are or whence they come, if they arrive at this blog by Googling a particular search term, I can track back and see what that search term is.

Today a visitor came to this blog by searching for:

husband kills cat and 2 year old daughter because wife betrayed him in newspaper

Hoping that this was ... well, actually hoping that this wasn't, I looked at the search results, and there four down was a site featuring the Ten Top Tabloid headlines for (I think) the first half of this month.

10 ALIEN MUMMY GOES ON RAMPAGE! Trick-or-treaters terrorized by undead E.T. — WWN

9 WOMAN DELIVERS OWN BABY WHILE SKYDIVING! — WWN

8 Beer beats prostate cancer — SUN

7 MULTIPLE PERSONALITY MAN CHARGED TRIPLE ROOM RATE! — WWN

6 Dust bunnies breed like rabbits — WWN

5 Giant Mexican monster skull proves... OGOPOGO IS ALIVE! — SUN

4 OMAHA BIN LADEN Osama's brother rides the range as a cowboy — WWN

3 Taco vendor turns tiny visitors' abandoned spacecraft into an . . . ALIEN SOMBRERO! — WWN

2 DOCTORS SUCCESSFULLY REMOVE BANJO FROM ALABAMA MAN'S KNEE! — WWN

1 KIM JONG IL NUKES HIS OWN PALACE! — SUN


What effect does this discovery have on me, knowing who is stumbling into my blog, knowing with what other sites I am linked in tandem? For one thing, I am now typing in boldface italic and don't know how to change it.

I've fallen, and I can't get up.

(That original monstrous search premise? Let's hope it was, in fact, a throwaway in the Weekly World News. All we really need is hope hope is all we need.)
