First Anniversary For Gonzo Blog

Author Michael Shandrick

On August 4, 2012, I wrote my first posting,  “The U.S. Now A Banana Republic” . It was my first attempt at a topical (news worthy) blog. That piece garnered a modest 40 page views.

As of today (July 29, 2013) I have received more than 5,000 views from 34 posts.

Here are my most popular posts over the past year:

1. A New Way to Fail in America, Hasty Sale to Foreigners, The Straw That Broke The Tiger's Back.

These three posts took an in-depth look at how Hollywood and Wall Street banksters have ruined America’s visual effects industry by reaping profits from ruined companies and then selling assets to foreign buyers.

2.  Moneyball Still Working for the Oakland A’s

Two companion posts illustrate how Moneyball keeps paying off for the underdog Oakland A’ baseball team during last season’s dramatic finish – and now the A's are at it once again.

3. Three Reasons Why Math Is The New Sexy, What Is Wenger Not Telling Arsenal Fans

These posts examine how math is changing soccer, politics and baseball.

4. Screenwriting 
Lucky Charms Needed For Irish Film Director


5. A Touch of Brazilian Magic, 
From the Same Volcano as Hunter S. Thompson, 
Inmates are running the Asylum in Canada

These posts range from the poetical to the political.
