Top 10 blogs on sethbarnes.com
The concept of the “long-tail” is interesting in the context of blogs. Some blog posts have a long shelf-life. The longer they’re around, the more momentum they get and the more they climb the search-engine rankings. I did some research to go back through the last five year of blogging I’ve done and was surprised to see the blogs that had most viewers. Here they are – the numbers to the right are the number of people who have read them.2. How I helped liberate Dachau camp 46,766
4. Revival in Lakeland, FL 31,299

Dear Daddy Seth in Christ
We are sorry to inform you that: Today July 19, 2010. Muslim extremists shot dead Rahid Emmanuel and Sajjid Emmanuel in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people in district courts compound in Faisalabad today.

Police investigating officer Mohammad Hussian told court that complainant Mohammad Khuram Shehzad lodged FIR alleging Rashid Emmanuel and Sajjid Emmanuel producing a handwritten leaflet which he stressed is defiling Prophet Mohammad but police have report of Handwriting expert that pamphlet handwriting presented by Mohammad Khuram not match with handwriting of accused Christian brothers. Police further submitted that they have nothing to investigate against them and find no proof to remand them in custody.
The court ordered to send Rashid Emmanuel and Sajjid Emmanuel to Judicial custody till next date to issue further orders.
