The answer to the title - absolutely nothing. Yes nothing. And isn't that the point of holding a vote to 'test the waters' to take over 1/5 of the economy on a Saturday, after all? When I was driving yesterday, the local conservative talk-guy here in San Diego said that Obamacare nationally is now favored by less Americans than even Hillarycare was, by a couple of percentage points. And you recall how that went over, right?
I digress, to blow off some steam, to make fun of the American public: The top 20 Hot Trends via Google Trends, my take in parenthesis:
| 1. | black friday 2009 sales (why not, the Feds run on credit, right?) |
| 2. | ebay search down (this is a crisis) |
| 3. | nate robinson wrong basket (???) |
| 4. | mobil logo (isn't that now the Exon logo?) |
| 5. | northwestern football (yeeessss.....) |
| 6. | ufc 106 time (huh?) |
| 7. | courtney cox family matter ( she has a family and a matter?) |
| 8. | cal stanford big game 2009 (priorities, Saturday vote!) |
| 9. | ohio state michigan game 2009 score (again, rinse, repeat) |
| 10. | ebay search not working (crisis x2, again!) |
| 11. | notre dame uconn (sports, the opiate of the masses) |
| 12. | elmer gantry (who the hell is that, Harry Reid's brother?) |
| 13. | ebay motors (the road to socialism) |
| 14. | chris spielman s wife (again, who? A nation of celebrity-worship) |
| 15. | stuffing recipes for thanksgiving ( I approve) |
| 16. | harvard yale game 2009 (opiate - check) |
| 17. | mobile gas (why the fixation on gasoline?) |
| 18. | randy edsall (who?) |
| 19. | cranberry sauce recipe ( I like a lot) |
| 20. | miley cyrus bus wreck ( now that is something important) |
Ok, so we got that out of the way. For what it's worth, "Senate health care vote" did make the list.....all the way down at #34. Priorities, right?
Number 31 though? "Watch new moon movie online for free."
Uh-huh.
Anyone want to make a conglomerative title out of this mish-mash?
