Just your friendly neighborhood Big Brother here...

A judge is apparently going to order Google to turn over some records to the federal government. Google had previously fought this request, unlike Yahoo, MSN, and AOL, who all rolled over, just like the administration lap dogs that they are. Here’s the article:

This is huge. The justice department claims that the purpose of this “request” is to bolster a pornography case it is arguing in Pennsylvania. Yeah right. So of course, none of the information it obtains will be used for other purposes. None of it will be of a personal nature. Why don’t I believe them?

If the justice department has suddenly woken up and decided to fight crime again, I’ve got a better use of their time. Go arrest the guy in the White House. While you’re at it, go arrest the guy in Blair House.

Gee, if they are really looking for porn searches, maybe if I Google “President Bush screws America” or “Cheney says ‘go fuck yourself’”, they’ll come looking for me.

Nah. I wouldn’t be that lucky.
