Bush lies, climate dies

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:16:37 PDT
Or, hypocrisy through rose-colored glasses in the Rose GardenAs I blogged about earlier this week, President Bush is indeed doing a bait-and-switch with his proposal to reduce ever-so-slightly control the increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The setting was different, but the dance and tune were just the same with Bush’s speech today in the Rose Garden.

i2Telecom's MyGlobalTalk™ Service Platform Provides Windows Mobile® 5.0 & 6.0 Users With Global Calling at Cost-Effective Rates

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:20:47 PDT
I've seen a number of press releases from i2Telecom lately. At least one I glossed over because they announced they were the first with a product comparable to a solution I wrote about nearly 16 months ago. Me too never impresses me much, and claiming to be first that far behind the curve does even less to impress me.

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

 
Not only is Youtube (Web Video) good for sharing Music Videos and TV Broadcasts segments, but apparently its a great tool to use when trashing soon-to-be estranged spouses as Tricia Walsh Smith invents new style of divorce: Youtube Divorce.

Former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith, vented ALL of her frustrations out against her husband, Philip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway, on Youtube.

Famous Divorce Raoul Felder who represents Tricia Walsh Smith says, "The situation is funny but Divorce isn't". "This is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well."

On the taping of this already famous YouTube Divorce video Smith bashes family members who gave her hell and tells the world how her husband, is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment.

Tricia Walsh Smith also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant in the divorce video put on YouTube.

Norman Sheresky, a Partner in the Matrimonial Law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan says, "I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon".

"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."

To date Tricia Walsh Smith's YouTube Video (below) has been seen by more than 150,000 viewers.
