Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, is it?

Google trends are obviously strongly influenced by what people read and hear elsewhere. People have to get their ideas on what to search for from somewhere, yes?

A far more meaningful statistic would be to normalize the “Google Index” of a term against mentions of the term from non-Internet sources, e.g. media sources like, say, Mr. Summers. I think such an analysis would reveal that the decline in Google searches on “economic depression” scaled right down with the media deciding it is no longer to Obama’s political advantage to keep mentioning the term themselves.

In other words, Summers’s “Google Index” is just another exercise in journalistic navel-gazing, as the media’s narcissistic premise that reality itself is defined by what they choose to report, continues.

…after all, his little talk back in ’05 was a theoretical discussion that he said at the time he did not believe.

Asking a question or positing a theory (which is what he was doing) does not indicate belief, and asking such questions should be encouraged–by both sides of any political debate–so that we reach the truth. In the end, the liberals ran him out because asking such questions is politically unacceptable. The answers might violate liberal belief, so the theory should be discounted before even explored.

And let’s face it: There ARE differences in male and female brain structures and chemistry. Mr. Summers only theorized that those differences might be large enough to explain why fewer women were engineering professors, rather than bias or discrimination.

With that out of the way, this latest example is so bad it doesn’t even sound specious. Apparently, Mr. Summers wants us to think that Google has some kind of divine insight.

How silly.

…is dwindling?

People do have memories. In financial modeling, it’s called path dependency.

As to Summers, what would you expect him to say- Unemployment is at an all time high, and growing with no end in sight. Other countries have cancelled all orders for American made products, and China just cut up our credit cards? You cannot be in the Obama Administration until you pass the lying test- The Course is called – How to become a Lying Liberal, and to start believing your own Lies.

I think people are fully caught up on the meaning of economic depression. They get a little more familiar with the concept every time the Dems roll out some new legislation.

Is a fool… or a lair.

Or both as he is working for Obama

w/ an old suitor that’s been courting you for 40 years

or maybe they’re desperate.

“Crack head, “smokin the cheeba”, “old coot”, “delirious”, “failure”.

I guess Larry searched every reliable source and did not find the answer he wanted.

He should have looked at the statistics for job search and socialism. My bet is they are way up. What a complete ass.

Just like the newest Dem. Clown, Al Franken, Larry Summers and the other Obama Economic Team members are clueless about how to grow an Economy. Just as they did under Jimmy (Peanut) Carter, they are terrified and are saying anything, loony or not, to support their position.

Using Google search results as an Economic Indicator is equal to using 9-11 search results to determine National Security status. Yet this is all they have. As Americans see their wellbeing destroyed, their words are getting more loony.

Listen to Biden’s “spend (borrowed) money to make money” comment, Obama’s “we have turned the corner”, and Summers “Google Search” words and it is clear they have no idea what to do, so they use all they have — LIES. But why not, that has worked to get them in their jobs all their life–just the American people are living with their lies while they jet-set around the world on our Credit Card-

We are headed for at least 12% unemployment and underemployment is currently at 16.5%- those combined equal 28.5% –that is not a growing Economy–that is a failed Economy model–And yet they keep using us as
Co-Signers for their loans (borrowing) and all without out consent–In Banking we call that FRAUD-punishable with Jail Time.

how many people have cut back on the internet to save a few dollars. Or the fact that people have already gotten some answers from Google. Or the fact that Google isn’t the know all to end all.

Jeez! The guy was an idiot in 2005 and it hasn’t changed.
