[...] Over at Techcrunch, they had a great suggestion with Google Trends. Basically if Google would allow Trends to offer an option for hour updates rather than 30 days, we definitely can get an interesting look into how many people is searching for Obama vs McCain. Best of all, it would actually be a good tool for either campaigns to get an inside look at what issues people are concerned about as we are move closer to election day. [...]

Another interesting way to look at the election is w/voter personalities. We have a cool app Election Patterns (http://apps.fac...onpatterns_int/) that shows composite personalities of Obama Voters, McCain Voters and Undecided Voters, and how you you compare. You can see how ‘people like you’ are voting and view the data via various demo/geo perspectives.

1st: Im not a liberal – Im a white, gun owning (few of ‘em), business owning military (war) veteran…not a neo-con, but definitely not a liberal.

2nd: Your an idiot (aka fool, half-wit, imbecile, dolt, dunce. A person of subnormal intelligence. A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. An unlearned, ignorant, or simple person, as distinguished from the educated; an ignoramus. A human being destitute of the ordinary intellectual powers, whether congenital, developmental, or accidental; commonly, a person without understanding from birth; a natural fool.)

Nobody. I repeat: NOBODY in the US can figure out the federal tax codes.
But it is irrelevant: individual or corporation, as long as you do not grossly violate the tax laws and you pay *something* you are OK.
Also: the ‘public big corporations’ are already taxed to the hilt. And also, we must ALL remember that these ‘public’ companies are *owned* by millions of shareholders, American and foreign, meaning that when the ‘big, bad’ public companies make billions of dollars, their shareholders make [very quietly] billions of dollars…
Ironic? Yes, and the snarky, slimy politicians will always take advantage of the public’s widespread ignorance.

Maybe. But there is no mistery here –the spike reflects searches from mostly single women, between 22 and 23 years of age.
Think about it.

You are pitiful.
You remind me of Hillary, with her ‘vast’ right conspiracies…
Plus, you are either ignoring facts, poll manipulation, or just drinking the half-black Messiah’s Kool-Aid.
Keep it on, and you and the ugly one will bite the dust on NOV 4…
What is really, really sad, is that you damn liberals are never able to come up with half-decent candidates. Remember ‘AlGore’ yuck, I am going to puke here…

Yeap. And it will happen on November 4, when the half-black Messiah will bite the dust big time with his monkey face!

Yes, I watched. The ‘Old One’ made a few good points.
And once again, Letterman showed what he really is –and getting worse: misinformed, disrespectful, loud, arrogant, opinionated, and, most of all, an irrelevant has-been third-rate goofy talk show host.
He actually thought that he was setting up McCain, it turned out to be the other way around. Letterman shows every night that he is a pitiful brown-nosed idiot.

This is pretty interesting, but thinking about that now, when they started talking about Bill Ayers and the Weatherman Underground, I had a vague idea but I did a web search on WU just to know more about it, so I guess I fall into the same group.

What an ironic way to drive traffic to your own website based on your newfound love of Google Trends – use all the hot keywords in your own post because you are discussing the phenomenon itself. Kudos.

How about the word, “fundamentally” or “fundamentals” .

I’m sure searchs for both words shot up like a rocket.

That’s pretty cool. I know I didn’t google Joe the Plumber until after the debate. We had a debate watching party at my house and afterward everybody was curious. I can’t believe roe v. wade got so many hits though. Maybe people needing more detail?

while on politics, is there any site that actually shows the total tax collection by the government for each of the last 8 yrs separated as business & personal.
And then compare that with the earnings by top 10% public companies in the US.
I know we have one of the highest corp tax but with all the loop holes and deductions, what is the net tax paid by these corporations.

Without this information no sane person can figure out what our new tax plan should look like.
