Let's see.... Carlyle gets $500 million not to make the Crusader. Oil companies get $200+ million not to drill off Florida. The guy who ran Dynegy into the ground gets $40 million not to show up for work for the next few months.

Oopsy.

Anita Roddick on Google: "This essentially means no news publication that carries editorials or critical reviews -- and virtually no weblog that carries sarcastic or critical opinions, which is to say, most of them -- may participate in the AdWords program. This is obviously not enforced as strongly when it comes to major media conglomerates: the New York Times (which carries anti-Bush columns by Paul Krugman and anti-Democrat columns by William Safire regularly) is allowed to maintain an AdWords campaign. TownHall.com, an aggregator of vitriolic conservative pundits, also enjoys the AdWords team's favor. (Townhall.com, you will recall, ran Ann Coulter's column wherein she called for the US to invade all Muslim countries, kill their leaders, and forcibly convert their citizenry to Christianity.)"

But also: "Google is the only major search engine which hasn't completely sold out to corporate interests. Without it, a vibrant, mostly non-commercial commons such as the weblog community would be impossible. For that, Google has my utmost respect."

We at Licentious Radio have such high Google clout that we never need to advertise. The masses are sent to our website automatically.

"He must stop the incursions across the line of control." the president said.

Is that Little George whining about Sharon or about Musharraf?

Do you know the name of the dictator of Pakistan, Little George?
