Blog a Month Club

Usually you can measure somebody's popularity by the number of fan blogs they've got. Francis' blog propagandists devoted a whole blog to telling everybody mean stuff about the old Sheriff and what a terrific guy Francis is.

Then another blog popped up from people who weren't convinced about Francis' sainthood and the world was harmonious with two blogs in a kind of perverse yin-yang kinda way. Things went along like that for a while, the election happened and the blogs kept at each other like a couple of school girls settling a disagreement by pulling out each other's hair.

Equilibrium continued for the first few months of Francis' reign with the one blog crowing about what a great guy Francis is and the other one setting them straight. It was a simpler time in a 'yes you did,' 'no I didn't' kinda way and everyone was content.

Francis' proagandists tried to start a second blog but it wore them out so they quit.

Then some stupid stuff started happening, people got wind of goings on and decided two blogs just wasn't enough to adequately capture all the current affairs so another blog popped up, then another and another.

There are now four blogs shining light on Sheriff Francis and just one shining light on Sheriff Mitchell.

When reached for comment Rodney Mitchell told us he was confused about why the first blog wouldn't let go of him. "I don't think they know I'm not the Sheriff anymore," he said.

For his part, Sheriff Francis denied any knowledge of the Internet or the blogs and was thrilled to be the focus of no less than four blogs. We don't think he fully understands. "I'm not entirely sure that four blogs is sufficient to capture the full depth and breadth of my ego, but its a start," Francis said.

Francis has been Sheriff for something like five months and we thought it might be interesting to chart the explosive blog growth and put it into graphical perspective.

So we made a chart!

Explosive Blog Growth

As you can see, Francis' blog popularity is on the rise. At this rate Francis should have something like two thousand blogs by year's end.

Google's CEO Larry Page weighed in on the Sheriff's blog consumption as well. "Looks like we're gonna have to add more servers to prevent a blog shortage and those suckers are expensive, this Sheriff is a big concern," Page complained.
