It's that time of the day, folks. After gaying it up all day here at AKA William, it was time to turn for a moment (just a moment!) to the larger world. So, here is a list of today's Top 10 Google searches:
1. mamma.com
2. mark cuban
3. mark cuban insider trading
4. scooping
5. eliving
6. johnjay and rich
7. bixby letter
8. momma.com
9. 60 minutes interview with obama
10. not evil just wrong
11. wanda sykes married
Damn. I googled "mamma.com" and killed four birds with one stone: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The SEC says it has charged Mark Cuban with insider trading in shares of Mamma.com" 1, 2, 3, and 8. People are still insider-trading after Martha?
Number 6? "johnjay and rich" you ask? Yeah. It was all about Carrie Moten. She works at a Tucson radio station. "Working Moms: Carrie Moten104.7 KISS FM Carrie Moten, a radio personality with the Johnjay and Rich Show, tells us about the benefits of her job in radio and the flexibility is gives her to work and take care of her kids." There was something about her being naked, but I couldn't find anything. Not that I looked all that hard. I mean, this is "all kinds of gay." Not "all kinds of straight." I wasn't feeling sufficiently inspired.
Number 7? The Bixby Letter is a letter that was written by Lincoln to a mother of five sons who died in the Civil War. A copy of the letter may have been found in Dallas. Funny how Lincoln keeps cropping up now that Obama and his "Team of Rivals" is up and coming. Go Hillary!
"not evil just wrong?" Some right-wing anti-climate-change documentary being promoted by that closeted homosexualist, Matt Drudge
And I personally have a video of Number 9 right here on AKA William because that's how Top 10 I am - Obama's 60 Minutes interview.
I had to cheat a little bit to get some real good gayness going on, but only a little. Today it's the "Top 11."Did you see 11? Yup, our amazing Wanda Sykes is breaking gay googling records!
And, if anyone can explain "scooping" please do because, I mean, I have no idea what it means. It sounds dirty, but I'm going to need some proof.
Based on the top Google searches for the day, this is what you guys are looking for today, folks. And as part of this site's mission to embed us gays into the larger world, here you go.
1. boston city hall
2. cape wrangell
3. western aviation
4. montparnasse tower
5. natalie gulbis
6. lucky shoe monument ...
7. factory five
8. tea fire map
9. port authority bus terminal
10. vanilla bean
This is what came up when I Googled "boston city hall" - "Poll: Boston City Hall ugliest building on planet." This is the most popular search?
You want to hear something fucked-up? Based on eavesdropping on the TV today while I pulled posts together, I can explain at least three of the searches. Number 5? Some girl won some dinner with Natalie Gulbis, who I think is an LPGA golfer. Number 8? That's the California fire where Oprah's house is! #10? Some woman won $100,000 this morning on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" for guessing that orchids are the source of vanilla beans.
Let's back this up a bit because this Top 10 list was all larger-world and no gay. Let's try this one from November 4, Election Day:
1. mccain concession speech
2. david plouffe
3. uncle tom
4. did prop 8 pass
5. mccain concedes
6. obama acceptance speech
7. david pluff
8. california election results 2008
9. obama elected president
10. obama campaign manager
That's better. Look at that. Number 4 and Number 8 show that gay marriage was a huge deal even as it was being passed - the seeds of the protest were there all along.
And what the fuck is up with Number 3!
Here's a list of the the Top 10 searches on Google for today. What's up with the ACT results? Did the results just get released today?
1. act scores
2. act student
3. actstudent.org
4. act.org
5. act login
6. flu tracker
7. golden jubilee canada
8. eppicard
9. rev. jim jones
10. act test
And here's something crazy. With all these top 10ers being about ACT scores, I thought I'd see why Rev. Jim Jones was getting so much Google attention. (I know there was a special the other night on MSNBC on the Jonestown Massacre for the 30th anniversary of the tragedy, but that's about it.) So I Googled Rev. Jim Jones, and I got taken to the Wikipedia entry. In that entry I came across this:
Harvey Milk, who spoke at political rallies at the Temple, and wrote to Jones after a visit to the Temple: "Rev Jim, It may take me many a day to come back down from the high that I reach today. I found something dear today. I found a sense of being that makes up for all the hours and energy placed in a fight. I found what you wanted me to find. I shall be back. For I can never leave."Harvey Milk? At the Peoples Temple? Whoa.
