So I found out I've been linked to something called Leftyblog, which is some sort of left-leaning blog link site that divides them by state. Kind of cool I guess. A link is a link (Hell, I wouldn't care if it was a link from NAMBLA if it meant more readers for my unfocused ranting), and at least one person has found me through them. The wonderful things you find out by adding a site meter to your blog.
It got me to thinking about the thing that happened several years back when the two political parties started trying to link each other to some extremist or other weird groups because they could get to them by clicking from the other party's website. You know, it was something like the Republicans saying that in just a few clicks on a link to a link to a link to a link that got you from the Dems site to gay porn. And then the Dems showed how you could do the same and get to something like the KKK's site or some other racist and/or wacko group. Which was all completely stupid of course. It means absolutely nothing as we all know. You could probably start from any site on the internet and get to some fucked up thing like child porn or a Nazi propaganda site in less steps than it takes to get from Charlie Chaplin to Kevin Bacon.
Just the random thought I had when I saw that someone I didn't know linked me to their site.

From http://oracleofbacon.org/cgi-bin/oracle/movielinks?firstname=Bacon%2c+Kevin&game=1&secondname=Chaplin%2c+Charles&using=1
The Oracle says: Charles Chaplin has a Bacon number of 3.
Charles Chaplin was in Limelight (1952) with Norman Lloyd
Norman Lloyd was in Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, The (2000) with David Alan Grier
David Alan Grier was in Woodsman, The (2004) with Kevin Bacon
Now find a path from my web-site (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/hocking) to a Nazi web-site in 3 clicks. ;)
