9,000 Hits, A Year Ago

Dear Airforce members,

we have finally reached a new mark in hits – 9,000! IT’S OVER NINE THOUSANNDDD! Just kidding – until YOU have viewed this for a complete minute. The last we celebrated a new thousands mark was in March. March 14th was the last date that a post was published before the unfortunate three-and-a-half month death of the site. We basically achieved a thousand hits in three weeks! CONGRATULATIONS!

Now on to the second part of the post: a year ago. What was a year ago, exactly to the date? 25 July, 2008… do the historians remember? Of course not, those damn biased bastards. On 25 July, 2008 the polls closed and I stood there, having gotten 40% of the 650 votes, as the winner. My closest rival, John Borne, only scored 30%. Imagine: 10% lead over the second-best! Well, that was then. Times have changed, so has the responsibility of the citizen to stay loyal. Am I calling everyone a traitor? No! I’m just calling them a politican-citizen. What? That’s right, a politican-citizen. Instead of getting abused in financial and social ways by their politicans, they do the opposite – they betray the politicans they once used to support. All those 260+ supporters a year ago are mostly gone. Oh well.
