Look Who's Looking

Kinda neat: Google has a new search toy, Google Trends. You can look up who's looking at what, where.

For example: Who's looking for love? According to Google Trends, that would be Philadelphia, which searches the term "love" more than any other city. Maybe that's because Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love, or there are a lot of Courtney Love fans in Philly? Who knows, but Philadelphians search for love (at least on Google) more than people in LA or Sydney or Houston or Seattle.

Now let's look up "wasting time...." And....it's Rochester by a long shot, beating out 2nd place 'wasting time' searches from....Philadelphia! Maybe if Philadelphia wasn't wasting so much time searching for love it could take the lead away from Rochester.

Anyway, you get the idea. Have fun :-)

Colbert Skewers Press Corps


Stephen Colbert was in fine form at the White House Correspondent's Dinner on April 29th. The Comedy Central pseud0-pundit, in his guise of a right-wing administration supporter, lavished (or ravished) the Shrub with obsequious mock praise, complimenting the President for ability to maintain unswerving (i.e. stubborn) beliefs simply by disregarding inconvenient, contradictory facts.

Colbert's sharpest barbs, however, were aimed at the White House press corps -- that elite pack of journalists who have, with only a few exceptions, spent the past 6 years in servile pandering to the Bush White House. Colbert begs Bush to consider him for press secretary, saying he'd be "perfect for the job -- I have nothing but contempt for these people" [the White House press gang].

And then he rolls the 'audition tape' -- skewering a spiritless, somnolent press corps, which only starts to ask the hard questions when the indomitable Helen Thomas pipes up with "Every reason you've given turned out not to be true -- Why did you really want to go to war in Iraq?"

Good question.

Got answers? Got 23 minutes? want to laugh? maybe cry? check out C-SPAN's video of Stephen Colbert's performance at the White House Correspondent's Dinner.

The Heat Is On

Sneak peek here at "An Inconvenient Truth," a Paramount film based on Al Gore's awesome multimedia presentation on global warming. Preview audiences have been moved to tears by the film, which also presents one of the clearest explanations of global warming.
"Take the Pledge" to see the film on opening weekend, May 26th - 28th.
