Stuff on Planes, and Sunday School Lessons
What gives you the worst creeps: snakes on a plane, liquids on a plane or a little old church lady canned from her job because she's a little old lady? Let's take a look.
Actor Samuel L. Jackson, who apparently doesn't like snakes on his plane, is todays No. 3 most-discussed blog personality and the link to the S.O.A.P. movie site ranks No. 5 today as well. But we did something a bit different: tracked buzz about "snakes on a plane" vs. references to the suddenly-banned liquids on a plane to see which is more feared:
Obviously, the reptilians win. (So, too, apparently did the flick "Little Miss Sunshine," whose title is today's fourth-most-discussed personality because text-mining technologies say so.

Maybe Mary Lambert of Watertown, NY, today's second burstiest person in the blogosphere, needs what's being promoted in today's third-most cited link today: Armor of God pajamas. Seems the 81-year-old woman whose 54 previous years of service to her church as a Sunday school teacher matter not to today's third-burstiest person, the Rev. Timothy Labouf, who relieved her of her teaching duties because, as everyone knows, women should be seen, not heard.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: God is paying attention to stuff like this, and she's NOT happy about it. Neither is this blogger.
Thanks, Joe
