Lots of Buzz for Manufactured "Holiday"
Who knew? I mean, really...who knew that in a week when Iraqi election results are being warily analyzed....and the real impact of President Bush's 2005 budget is sinking in...that Valentine's Day would creep so deeply into the consciousness.
Nine of today's top links refer to Valentine's Day, and favorites include a short film by zefrank.com about Valentine's Day (No. 8 link) and a T-shirt that only geeks in love could love (No. 35 link).
And that's where lovey-dovey stuff ends and a little bit of bizarro stuff creeps in. Such as the fate of Maya Keyes, daughter of conservative commentator Alan Keyes (defeated soundly by Sen. Barack Obama of Chicago in the 2004 elections). Seems his daughter's services are no longer needed by her values-preaching family. And if it's dirt you want, it's dirt you get on Jeff Gannon, who until last week had White House press credentials. He resigned when other reporters questioned his ties to the Bush White House and found questionable web sites linked to him.
If you've read any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., the Popular Mechanics put together some experts to debunk them, one by one.
BLOGPULSE TREND GRAPH OF THE DAY: So do you love Valentine's Day or hate it? Opinions are mixed.
