Hi folks.
We just noticed this incomplete draft of Wednesday's posting. We KNOW we completed the post, but, looking at our blog, we see it never made it to the actual "Musings" page. More disappointingly, the trending topics have, obviously, changed since Wednesday, and for some reason Blogger.com didn't save the entire thing. Anyway, here is the partial post that we did on Wednesday--lest you think we missed a day.
Here are the top-trending topics on Yahoo! as of 4:42 PST:
10. ANARCHY: Well, of course. We've all been shaken up by the stories and images coming out of London and other British cities. Since the police shot an alleged gang member in Tottenham last week, the streets have been ablaze, looters are running rampant, smashing windows and clashing with police. The country is in a state of near-total breakdown, and--oh, wait. This is about the release of a trailer for season 4 of "Sons of Anarchy." Good to see that everyone's priorities are in the right place.
9. SILVER PRICES: Unsurprisingly, in these times of economic uncertainty, more and more people are putting their money into "hard" currency reserves; Gold leads the way, but the price of silver is climbing, too. A few more market sessions like today's (down 520 points), and you can expect increases in other elemental commodities: bronze, copper. . . tungsten. When manganese hits 100, we're moving to Canada.
8. DIABETES: Researchers have established that the consumption of red meat increases one's risk for diabetes--especially when it's coated in fudge.
7. EMERIL LAGASSE: The Ragin' Cajun (or was that James Carville?) will join the cast of "Top Chef:Texas." He's not replacing Padma Lakshmi, is he? No? Well then, who cares? Bam!
6. JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT: Ms. Hewitt (Ms. Love? Ms. Love Hewitt? "J-Lo"--not that one, the other one?) has a crush on the runner-up from "The Bachelorette." We don't really have a joke for this, mainly because we can never keep straight who Jennifer Love Hewitt is. We always get her mixed up with Jennifer Garner and Sarah Michelle Gellar and the girl from "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." What's that? Oh, really? Apparently Sarah Michelle Gellar is the girl from "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." Why she wants to date the runner-up from "The Bachelorette" is beyond us.
5. FORECLOSURES: The Obama administration is considering a plan whereby government-owned foreclosures would be turned into rental properties, theoretically stimulating the housing industry while at the same time increasing the stock of badly needed rentals. Sounds like a reasonable plan, but just try to get your security deposit back from those guys when your lease is up,
4. JANE FONDA: Has a new book out about aging. Apparently the secret to aging gracefully is to eat right, exercise, and marry a billionaire.
