A Sit-Down (Kinda) With Vlad Putin



This is satire. This is not real. This better not show up on Snopes. This is a test. This is only a test. If this had been an actual emergency and you were turning to us for information, you would be screwed. This is only a test.

OPINION: Has Blogger Been Hacked...By Russia?

We at Niagara's Watercooler love what we do, and we have plenty of fun putting together various things that we hope you all enjoy. But like most websites, we are also a business and we watch our numbers all of the time. We have enjoyed a steady increase in numbers for everything we do, but the increase we got yesterday afternoon and today was a bit much.

WE ARE ONLY TELLING YOU WHAT WE NOTICED. WE ARE NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. WE ARE JUST ASKING QUESTIONS.

Today (Sunday March 12, 2017), Craig and I were having our daily conversation about how awesome our numbers have become when he brought up an interesting question. Craig said:

"Why do we have 10 times as many hits for today than we have ever had before?"

We get some good traffic, but a closer look at the numbers shows an significant spike in traffic over the course of the weekend. So I did a little research and saw that we are starting to get a lot of traffic from ... Russia. No, I am not kidding.

A Divide So Distracting

To pee or not to pee. That is the question. When it comes to the transgender issue, I think it is more complicated than people are realizing. Transgender people have been using their sexual identity bathrooms for years, and most of us just did not know it. The problem I have is with the showers and locker rooms, especially in schools. But that is not what this column is about.
