tawm, I think Barry has a big job moderating traffic on his website. Not saying it does not play on people’s minds. Just letting you know you are not being singled out.:)

From my experiences, He does a good job of moderating me on long posts and filter out when I say something crappy which can happen in badly governed financial cycles, or when the socio-economic mores of top regulators fall into a crevice of avarice with our housing market.

(I think it also helps when you do not say anything too mean about Sheila Bair. Or her boyfriends at JPMorgan)

There are a few instances in life where it is good to defer judgment and just take in information.

Thank you Naz Sahin, Serifcan Ozcan and folks at Good.

Only the categories you have recognized before you begin the process are qualifiable as news.

So why bother?

Let’s say I only recognize 3 categories: the economy, abortion rights and football. You’d end up with a stupid graphic, right?

It’s still just as stupid if you recognize 50 categories, because you are bringing your own biases to defining the categories.

You could miss a whole huge category of news that might have gotten covered a thousand times every day, simply because you didn’t create a category for it.

Which is apparently what happened — they forgot to include climate change as a category.

It’s a stupid exercise. It proves nothing.

I beg to differ on the Climate Change issue. There is clearly a large block that denotes US Terrorism Policies. I believe this is the descriptor for Climate Change.

The Good web site has a lot of tree hugger types blogging there. Likely not many of their readers would find Barry’s S&P charts complete annotations ever worth a second visit to the Big Picture. I guess employment and investing are what people that don’t watch TMZ do for entertainment.

“But the Economic Crisis is way too broad. It should have been broken into far smaller chunks. Bailout money, dollar value, unemployment, real estate loans and so forth.”

“On top of that there are three separate entries related to Obama. One would have sufficed.”

remember, Taxonomy is key when you’re trying to hide, or discover, what is being sought..

I loved the Somali pirates story. Still fascinated by the SEAL’s head shots from one moving sea vessel to another.
