Does anybody read these?

I think it's sleepy time...

OK, so I'm starting to get tired and giddy and find odd things amusing. And I just read another article on the Bush Administration pushing to get all this info about what we are seaching on Google. This really pisses me off. But Google is holding its ground. Bravo, Google.

The "official" reason the White House wants this info is to stop child pornography. Now, that really does sound like a very admirable cause on the exterior. Too bad I don't believe it. Because they can say that but you don't think if they saw you googling how to hijack an airplane or build a meth lab that they wouldn't come after you? Now, those things are very bad. So let's use a different example. When I wrote that post about my friend who had committed adultery a few years ago, several people arrived at my blog by googling the word adultery. Well, in some states that's still illegal. So imagine if the government had those google records. It invades our privacy and violates our civil liberties for the government to monitor our search-engine usage.

It is none of the government's business what I google. And frankly, I don't usually google anything too "dangerous" anyhow. But today I decided to have some fun by googling the names of key Bush Administration officials with some pretty interesting things just to piss them off if they ever do get to see what I'm googling. Things like "Rumsfeld and crossdresser," "Bush alcoholic." You know, things like that. And let me tell ya, I got an education on a few things when my results came up. Just as an FYI, it doesn't look like Rummy's a crossdresser. I did however read an article called "Condoleezza Rice: a Sally Hemmings for the 21st Century." (I'm not linking it; google it yourself. It's fun!) The only thing about that article that I didn't like is that it implies a comparison between George Bush and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was arguably the greatest president our country has ever seen. Bush, not so much. He's like Thomas Jefferson in Bizarro World.

OK, I'm going to go hide in my secret bunker in the side of the hill now before the feds come.

Before anyone goes nuts, I was just JOKING. I am a good, law-abiding, tax-paying citizen. Although I am one of the EVIL Democrat persuasion. I don't have a bunker. But I do have rights that I am holding onto with the tips of my fingers.
