The Spank Police Are Looking For YOU!
According to yesterday's New York Times, “The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to compel Google, the Internet search giant, to turn over records on millions of its users' search queries as part of the government's effort to uphold an online pornography law.”
Google, exhibiting testicular fortitude that failed Yahoo and MSN, has refused to comply with this latest outrageous abrogation of Americans' right to privacy and is taking their case to court.
Unless Osama bin Laden is trolling the web looking for photos of coeds flashing their goodies on Spring Break, I'd say the Bush administration has its priorities characteristically out of whack (no pun intended).
Remember Osama? Flew some airplanes into buildings in New York and DC? Killed a few thousand civilians and promised to keep killing Americans as long as he remained at large? Released more hit singles in the last five years than Madonna, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears put together, including a number one smash just last week?
Of course they don't remember Osama. He didn't try to kill W's daddy, after all. That was public enemy #1 Saddam Hussein, who didn't have a terror pot to piss in. As soon as the U.N. weapons inspectors determined he likely was a paper lion, toothless and free of weapons of mass destruction, W summoned the courage to go kick his swarthy fanny. This is the same frat boy fuck who didn't have the balls to play football himself in college (those fellas can get themselves banged up - careful, I'm Mommy's Special Boy!) so he stood on the sidelines with the girls and a megaphone and cheer-led.
That experience, as it turned out, served him in good stead in his role as President. It afforded him the one photo-op where he really looked like he knew what he was doing:
This administration is literally more concerned with perceived infractions of their Bible-based sociological model than they are in tracking down and eliminating enemies of the state. They send lone, unmanned drones after suspected al Qaeda terrorist cell meetings, while the full weight of the executive and judicial branches continue to be brought to bear relieving Americans of their civil and personal privacy protections.
Seeing 'The Great Satan' systematicallly stripped of the rights that used to define its way of life has to be better than sex for the terrorists. Osama must be whacking himself silly.

Brilliant post! Sadly, you are correct. From what I know those Google dudes, they do not frighten easily and this could turn into a case that will further damage the Bushies PR-wise.
God, what a tool.

From what I've read, Google's refusal to hand over records is less about protecting its customers' privacy and more about protecting its business operations. It doesn't want to risk competitors understanding the way it operates its system. Either way, I'm glad Google took a stand.
Re 9/11, check out the indie film "Loose Change" about 9/11 anomolies. Confirms my initial intuition that Osama wasn't the only force behind this tragedy.
