YAHOO's Unwitting Agenda(?)

I came across an interesting phenomenon.
There was a posting in a blog called Israel Matzev dealing with the US administration won't " save" Israel from an Iranian nuke.

If anyone still thinks the US will save Israel from an Iranian nuke...
http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2009/03/if-anyone-still-thinks-us-will-save.html

The author insults Mr. Olmert and Mr. Obama.
Well, why not? I mean, you have to have some sort of ending, right? May as well wrap it up with a pretty silken insult. I have always thought, however, that one may as well start out with the insult as the first sentence... and then one realizes that the rest of the bloody writing is superfluous, and you may get back to living a full-blooded life of moral imperatives.
O.K. Now I'm getting annoying.
Anyway, the blog is what the breed calls "right wing" and makes a big deal of its right-winged-ness, having links to other right-winged blogs and a mighty blog roll of the right (wing) stuff. Fine.

Now what totally surprised me was the fact that this posting had 19 commenters. Of this 19, 9 commenters with a profile in Blogger had started their blogs in March 2009, and had not yet gotten around to posting anything in their own blogs. There was exactly 1 comment by an individual that seemed to have a living blog. Of all the other profiled commenters - and of the 19, 6 were not available or not displayed - there was a grand total of 2 posts for all of them - ever.

I was somewhat surprised that some many March 2009 bloggers were interested in this particular topic: fully 9 of 19 were March virgin bloggers. I was even more surprised that some many people who went throught the trouble of establishing a blog, establishing a profile, and even rousing themselves to hacking out some commentary on Israel Matzev's post, cannot seem to write anything for themselves.
Furthermore, there were numerous links from another site to this very posting - not to the blog, but to this posting. I mean, things that did not seem related were linked, creating a impression of a good deal of info flowing back and forth.
I must contact Yahoo and see how they go about referring to blogs and topics. The column is titled Most Blogged - World, so there is some algorithm to measure activity. It appeared Monday, March 30 in Yahoo under a story I was reading about Kirkuk:

These links should work for a while. See what you think. Maybe it is just April 1 effect.
