Starting out the year on a high -- and humorous, as I hasten to point out for the more literal of my readers! -- note, (not to mention in a somewhat giddy mood,) this columnist is pleased to note that his column, Truth Realm, has garnered a full 36.22% of the world-wide readership of the ever-popular and perennially ascendant Nolan Chart website, a record that (as of this writing!) stands unchallenged.
My simple-minded observation of this memorable milestone is supported by hard fact, as illustrated by the included screen capture from the Nolan Chart website statistics below. ( Hey, if the MSM can pick and choose their statistics, why not moi? :)

I would like to thank my Mother and Father, without whom I would not be here to share these exquisite moments with you all; Nolan Chart Founder Walt Thiessen, who had the foresight and took all the risk to establish this "bully soapbox" for authors; and also (of course!) to express my humble appreciation to Dr. Ron Paul, peerless Presidential Candidate, paragon of political virtue, one of my finest inspirations, and the chief subject of most of my authorship in these pages.
My only regret is that I was not monitoring these stats earlier in the evening when Truth Realm probably enjoyed in excess of 50% of the website readership! Ah, opportunities lost, as they say! Just wait until next quarter!
Thank you, Thank You!, to both of my loyal readers! And, as Bob Cratchit once said, "God bless us, every one!"
And, a Very Happy, Ron Paul New Year to you all!

I am lying on my bed laughing. Back to my real job in a couple of days. Fight the good fight. I'll be back de vez en cuando. And especially this summer. Keep up the good work!

Well, since Edward (and even some enquiring minds!) seem to want to know, I will release one of my most closely guarded secrets as a Chart author:
If you log on to your "Author's Control Panel," there is a link in the left column called "Reports" that will show your absolute number of unique page views and your overall percentage of readership on the Chart. If you then click on "Individual Readership Reports, By Article" you will get a display similar to the capture that I published here.
While I realize that this candidness may have now cost me some of my "edge" here on the Chart, I offer it in the "spirit of solidarity" with my fellow authors here in the hope of making Nolan Chart a better marketplace for us all. :)
Thanks for your many and profuse kind words and compliments! :) Not the least of which, the astute acknowledgement from Brother DigitalBob of my finely tuned mental state! :) You guys all rock!

How on Blue Marble did I miss this astounding, significant event. You cast a long and challenging shadow for this humbled newbie merely wandering past to collect a crumb here or there...or...over there >>>>>
The Truth Realm truly inspires...no, really...hey, I'm not joking here or there...or...over there >>>>>
Regarding your mental state remember always; Insanity shall prevail!!
