<description>Noah Brier seems to have a thing about "marketing, media, technology and randomness."  He earns his keep as a strategist at &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nakedcomms.com/index.html?detectflash=false">Naked Communications&lt;/a>.  He also operates &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.noahbrier.com/">his own blog&lt;/a> which represents his personal projects.  A recently launched project of his seems quite simple.  However, it offers profound insight into the impact of branding and &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://</description>

<description>Stop saying that &lt;i>horsey&lt;/i> stuff! It sounds derogatory, like she's a commie or something. I happen to think women like her and Sarah Silverman are pretty foxy. See, foxy is much better than horsey!</description>

<description>I like Sarah Jessica Parker...she's a great actress and cute to boot. &#160;However, even I in my state of adoration recognize that she's kind of...um, horsey looking at times.&lt;p>&#10;In the celebrity Rorschach, the word "Neigh" seemed to be a common comment f</description>
