Google trends, markets, economy

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:29:40 PDT
Viral Shah pointed me to this example of google trends being useful in thinking about price fluctuations. So that got me thinking about what interesting things one could do with it. In the muddled monetary policy framework that we have in India today, we ricochet between the three corners of the impossible trinity. When inflation gets uncomfortable, we do exchange rate flexibility. When exchange rate flexibility gets uncomfortable, we summon capital controls. When financial markets plummet in r

Ryan Gosling Is Up To Speed With The Latest Trends

I am a Sad Sally today, but it's hard not to crack a (perverted) smile when looking at candid photos of the desirable Ryan Gosling. Rocking a pair of honey Wayfarers (trendy!), Gosling chatted away on his iPhone (also trendy!) in Midtown Manhattan (trendy three times!?), New York City yesterday. Who on earth was Mr. Handsome talking to, I wonder? Then again, it wasn't me so it doesn't really matter. (Ack! I started this post as a Sad Sally before quickly turning into a Perverted Patty,

Emergent: No Common Doctrine!

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:58:42 PDT
Emergent: No Common Doctrine! IN a recent article, one of our better known preacher types said: “The doctrines of the ‘Emergent Church’ do not represent the faith that was once and for all delivered to the saints. In fact, it is a dangerous counterfeit.” I fully agree that there are a few big name heretics who claim the label “emergent church”. IN a way, that’s enough to give the whole movement a bad name and some pretty bad associations. But a reputation isn’t always reality. I recognize

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

HULIQ (press release), USA
 

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

 
Not only is Youtube (Web Video) good for sharing Music Videos and TV Broadcasts segments, but apparently its a great tool to use when trashing soon-to-be estranged spouses as Tricia Walsh Smith invents new style of divorce: Youtube Divorce.

Former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith, vented ALL of her frustrations out against her husband, Philip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway, on Youtube.

Famous Divorce Raoul Felder who represents Tricia Walsh Smith says, "The situation is funny but Divorce isn't". "This is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well."

On the taping of this already famous YouTube Divorce video Smith bashes family members who gave her hell and tells the world how her husband, is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment.

Tricia Walsh Smith also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant in the divorce video put on YouTube.

Norman Sheresky, a Partner in the Matrimonial Law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan says, "I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon".

"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."

To date Tricia Walsh Smith's YouTube Video (below) has been seen by more than 150,000 viewers.

How juicy political legends and myths like “Hidden Agenda” are written

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:58:11 PDT
How juicy political legends and myths like “Hidden Agenda” are written 1. As a general matter, simply watch the state-owned CBC Newsworld channel or any of a number of other liberal media outlets. Legends and myths appear as if out of nowhere. For example, just now: On the CBC Newsworld channel, in the middle of the newscast, a guest expert on all things political, Susan Delacourt, a political columnist from the liberal-left’s Toronto Star, suggested that Prime Minister Harper is an “unf

Local politics are on blast in this amazing documentary that highlights how politics are horrible. Seriously, horrible! The film surrounds a 2002 Mayoral race in Newark, New Jersey between Cory Booker & Sharpe James. This movie is urgent. This movie is not just a portrait of corruption, scandals, and how politics are so corrupt, it is a symbol of change and substance that we are hearing about today. This movie shook my foundation. THis movie shoved the political system into my face, and
