Heavy.com continues to get lighter; Eric Hadley, who only joined the funny-videos-for-guys startup a year ago as chief marketing officer, has joined Yahoo as its VP of advertiser and partner marketing. He'd previously worked for a decade at Microsoft. We see the hand of Joanne Bradford in this; she's the former MSN chief who now runs ad sales at Yahoo. The pattern here? Yahoo has lacked a strong sales leader since the departure of Wenda Harris Millard, whom President Sue Decker disgracefully drove out of the company. With the hiring of Hadley to run marketing and Jeff Dossett to run...
Ew, gross, Bloomberg wants a third term as mayor so he can still be a publicly elected official come the 2012 elections, while not having to live in freaking Albany. This is good, it's good when we suspend executive term limits so an extremely wealthy pandering populist doesn't have to step down when his cult of personality is at its peak. In his announcement, Mr. Bloomberg, a former Wall Street trader and founder of a billion-dollar financial data firm, is expected to argue that the financial crisis unfolding in New York City demands his steady hand and proven business acumen....
Here’s a useful mod for any rock god who needs to give his hands a bit of a rest after playing Cult Of Personality for the millionth time. Built by Ben Heck, it basically “replaces the strum and whammy bar from a standard guitar, allowing you to use a single hand for the chords.” Check out a boring video below of a song being played while using them. I really like the look of these. They look like half that thing you use in a shoe store to measure your feet and half rock boot. [Ben Heck]...
It's pretty sad when the worst thing you can say about your opponent is that he's too damn popular. Yet that's where McCain and his Republican handlers are right now, questioning whether someone who actually can fill a football stadium full of enthusiastic activists is worthy of the presidency. Far better to limit your audiences to a few dozen loyalists who can tolerate watching your cottage-cheese pallor swimming in a sea of green. The worst part of the tut-tutting about Obama's resonance with the voters is that Barack isn't even that good at the rock star thing. He's really just...
These are good times for Jerome Corsi. Already notorious for his factually challenged book-length takedown of 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, "Unfit For Command," the sixty-one year old Corsi has another hit on his hands. His new book, "Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality" has made Corsi a hot commodity again on the right-wing radio circuit and the bane of the Obama campaign-- and catapulted to the top slot on the New York Times bestseller list. With his newfound notoriety, Bringing his pathographic anti-Obama narrative to hundreds of thousands of readers--and millions on radio and TV--just...
The publication on August 1 of Jerome Corsi's book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, has triggered considerable controversy in political and publishing circles, not only because the book is filled with many lies and distortions, but also because Corsi has long been affiliated with the nut-case wing of the conservative movement. Last Friday, John McCain exacerbated the storm when he responded to a reporter's question about the book by saying, "Gotta keep your sense of humor," which some observers took to be a casual endorsement of the book. Several anti-Obama books have recently arrived...
