It’s been relatively quiet on the Alabama political front…so let’s return to my semi-regular feature, Quick Hits. This is where I review the top Google Trends at this hour, give my unique perspective and try to figure out why they are trending:
1. Stafon Johnson
USC football player who had a tragic weightlifting accident just hours ago. Please pray for him and his family.
2. Spanish Prime Minister’s Daughters
3. Spain’s First Family with the Obamas
Apparently, the daughters of the Spanish Prime Minister are a bit too goth for some people. With all the international issues going on right now, THIS is what people are interested in?
4. Justin Siegel
The guy who didn’t acknowledge his marriage publicly until a few months ago wants a divorce from Phantom of the Opera star Emmy Rossum? Go figure.
5. Nacho Figueras
The “Brad Pitt of Polo”, seriously??? Took some head scratching to figure out where this search result came from…but that’s only because I don’t watch Oprah.
6. Dan Falco
This one I can’t figure out at all, although apparently he’s a big deal in Jersey right now…anyone know what’s going on with Dan Falco?
7. Derrion Albert
9. Derrion Albert Beating Video
Prosecutors said Derrion, an honor roll student, was pummeled with wooden planks and kicked in the head after he found himself in the midst of a large fight on Thursday afternoon between two groups of youths a few blocks from his school, Christian Fenger Academy High School, on the South Side.
Prosecutors said the fight followed a shooting earlier in the day outside the school, involving the two groups.
Silvonus Shannon, 19; Eugene Riley, 18; Eugene Bailey, 17; and Eric Carson, 16, were charged with first-degree murder on Monday and held without bail. The police said the video helped them identify the suspects.
8. Bastard Out of Carolina
Again with the Oprah effect…
10. Ballard Spahr
And I’m stumped on this as well…any help?
