Have you noticed that your top referrers this month are 17-18 year old girls with MySpace profiles? Whats up with that? Perhaps youve become a sex symbol.

Hey, he’s right!

Alas. Much as I’d love to believe that the days of the rock star policy wonk sex symbol are finally upon us, my guess is that there’s some sort of technological hijinx at work, here. A spider, perhaps. Or some sort of search engine chicanery.

Of course, I am quite handsome.

UPDATE: So a few of you figured out what’s going on. Seems the MySpacers are photo-linking to various pictures on this site, mostly album covers. So not only am I not a sex symbol to the teen set, they’re stealing my bandwidth! Sigh. Sadly, it seems the day of the rock star sex symbol policy wonk has yet to come.
