Does everyone have their own personal Google, I wonder?

I believe “Personal Google” was a hit for Depeche Mode a year or so back.

Exactly how I feel. It’s interesting that blog posts often get more attention than many peoples’ full-length articles. Something about attention span I’m sure.

sorry: no reason why anyone else should remember a footnote from ‘philosophical explanations’. (google ‘nozick marilyn monroe’).

it was just the idea in jq’s 16 of the private ownership of movie stars.

“no, it really happened!” “yeah right—in your googles, pal.”

When I do Google search, this post is now the #1 result for “romantically linked with Angelina Jolie”. Does everyone have their own personal Google, I wonder?

Re: 13, I didn’t get it till I took a look at John’s Wiki page (if that’s what you’re referring to).

I helped a lot, I'm sure. But it's Scarlett Johansson that I've been linked to.

I will even contribute the title: “Dead Ideas from New Economists.” No charge.

The discredited ideas theme really needs a book, and JQ appears to be the ideal person to write it.

shaving might have been a mistake from that point of view

There’s no guarantee that he shaved well.

And hey, what’s this I read from Carl Cameron at FOX about John Quiggin being romantically linked with fellow socialist Paul Krugman? He even cites a blogger.

I don’t know—Ms. Jolie has never shown a pregference for clean-shaven guys—shaving might have been a mistake from that point of view..
