When Preznit Eternal FUBAR is not out selling programs that are just downright disasterous (Medicare comes to mind), or just in general behaving like the incurious jackass that he is, he's trying to get into your bedroom, the Supreme Court be damned. He is, after all, the Cockwatching Commissar...
The Bush administration, seeking to revive an online pornography law struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, has subpoenaed Google Inc. for details on what its users have been looking for through its popular search engine.
Google has refused to comply with the subpoena, issued last year, for a broad range of material from its databases, including a request for 1 million random Web addresses and records of all Google searches from any one-week period, lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department said in papers filed Wednesday in federal court in San Jose.

The government contends it needs the data to determine how often pornography shows up in online searches as part of an effort to revive an Internet child protection law that was struck down two years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court on free-speech grounds.
Good for Google. While there's no place for the type of porn that the christofascists are ostensibly trying to ban (hey, buttheads news flash: it's already illegal), this is a fishing trip to go for their brass ring again, getting into our bedrooms. Again.
What anyone googles is no ones business but their own. Beloved Leader is not going to be satisfied until everyone who is not his "base" has nothing left but paying taxes and dying. Preferably in the service of the State. Victory Gin at your funeral: optional, but expensive.
Kicking these motherfuckers out: Priceless.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if every internet user would, just to make the 1600 Crew's life a living hell, google "hot sex" once every day. No need to follow the links, just do the search. Methinks that would skew the results a bit...not to mention rendering any "searches" meaningless.

Damn, can't these guys win an election without turning into the Taliban?
Hey Jo, long time since I've posted here, but I've been reading.
This post reminded me of a recommendation a friend of mine had, some years back in the early days of the Internets, when these fishing trips were being floated by the Intolerocracy: simply put a bunch of keywords in your vcard at the end of every email, like "drugs, cocaine, porn, etc. [put your own juicy terms here]" to simply overwhelm the illegal spying ops of these immoral, power-mad, un-American freaktards.
