A note about ads and about comments

This blog subscribes to the Google AdSense program. The theory being that maybe after a decade, I might be able to make a few dollars as a result of the 7 people who generously spend their time reading this blog.

One anonymous commenter* asked why s/he saw an ad that read: "Support Joe Bruno. Voice your support for Joe Bruno! Read the Truth."

Joe Bruno, of course, is the former longtime leader of the New York Senate's Republican majority who was recently indicted on public corruption charges.

The ads are not chosen by me. They are automatically generated by Google based on keywords of the content of the blog. Since I've used the word 'Republican' quite a bit in regards to Congressional candidate Jim Tedisco, I presume this is how this ad was linked to my blog.



*-Reminder: Although this blog's commenting policy bans unsigned comments for reasons I will not re-hash yet again, it does NOT ban anonymous ones. Nor does it require you to be a member of Blogger to comment. If you wish to leave a comment signing only a first name or nickname or pseudonym of your choice, you can do so by clicking on Post A Comment and then under Choose an Identity, click Name/URL. The URL part is optional. If you do it this way, I only ask that you use the same nickname/pseudonym each time you post for the sake of continuity.
