get_logger does get called as part of the metaclass magic.  I don't 
understand it well enough to explain but a debugger reveals some.  for 
example, stepping through get_logger, I hit the first two statements but 
after executing getLogger, I end up at logger.info.  this leads me to 
believe that __new__ runs at the start of every method invocation (not 
just at object creation).  I obviously need to read more on the topic. 
I am really puzzled that get_logger never makes past getLogger but 
hopefully insight will arrive.
