Google Keywords of the Day

Due to a severe and lingering case of bloggers block I bring you a post that requires no creativity or effort on my part. Kinda like all my other post, only this one has more links. Well, links to this blog, but who cares.

Anyway, I bring you Our quasi-monthly edition of Google Keywords the Get Visitors to TtP. Enjoy! Or just close out of your browser tab and pretend like you were never here, all the same to me.

-----

I've never heard of a link between the two, but someone thinks there is --- alcohol and testicle shrinkage takes you to our ever growing Testicle label.

We need a Merkel tag --- i'm big in the bundestag gets you to Probably Only Slightly Better Than Seeing Helmut Kohl's Ass

people with no nipples gets you to --- Hillary Clinton Has Huge Knockers, No Nipples

This leaves me wondering exactly what is a dog brothel? That search takes you to TtP's prolific Boobies tag. Which in the same vein as the Pharaohs of Egypt I too hope to be buried with my treasures -- the Boobies tag.

nbc alabama leprechaun --- gets you to Possible Leprechaun Sighting in Mobile, which quite possibly is the best thing ever on the internet, video embedded below.

It's Official: Google Will Do Anything Any Governing Body Tells It To

You'd think that a company as significant as Google could tell an organization as insignificant as the U.N. to go fuck itself. But, here we go again. Apparently, Google News has cut its links to a "scrappy little Web site" called the Inner City Press due to its frequent criticism of internal coruption in the U.N.

It began with an innocuous-sounding yet chilling form letter from Google to Lee, e-mailed on Feb. 8:

"We periodically review news sources, particularly following user complaints, to ensure Google News offers a high quality experience for our users," it said. "When we reviewed your site we've found that we can no longer include it in Google News."

As soon as he read it, Lee immediately suspected one thing: That someone at the UNDP had pressured Google into "de-listing" him from Google News — essentially preventing Inner City Press from being classified on Google News as a legitimate news source and from having its stories pop up when someone conducts a Google News search.

Over the last couple of years, Lee has proved to be a constant — and controversial — thorn in the U.N.'s side.

I've never read the Inner City Press. Nor had I heard of them before reading the FoxNews article. But the article goes on to describe the guy as a little off-the-wall (my paraphrase). Even if this is true, however, I can't imagine why Google would take such action without some pressure from someone or something with influence.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe to Vote for a Democrat...

...they are going really left. Just about everyone in this world hates the presidency of George Bush, and his Republican party takes a big ding by association. So the Dems have a wide open door to take the White House. But they are fumbling the ball by catering to left-wing economic politics.

The Dem candidates have all adopted Edwards' Two Americas theme, which focuses on income inequality and how to "solve" it. Income inequality is something that no one likes, as who likes the next door neighbors making more money that I do? But, beyond that envy, does it really matter?

No. The fact that the founders of Google are billionaires absolutely took no money out of anyone's pocket. Capitalist societies create wealth. Without the brilliance of Page and Brin, our country and stock market would be without the $162 BN, whooa, of market cap. They created wealth and created thousands of lucrative jobs and many millionaires, and certainly did not in any way subtract from the wages of anyone.

The idiocy of focusing on wage disparity is that as our country creates success the disparity grows. But there is not a zero sum. Would any person in their right mind wish that Google did not exist?
