I don't like the thought of Dick Cheney ogling my Googling.

Because what I'm Googling, of course, is Dick Cheney. I have to constantly monitor how Vice Voyeur is pushing the federal government to constantly monitor millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls, e-mail notes and Internet searches.

If you want to know why the Grim Peeper is willing to turn this country into a police state to take his version of democracy to other countries, just do a Google search under "antiterrorism," "government snooping," "overreaching" and "fruitcake."

It was hard to know which story yesterday was scarier: Osama bin Laden, still alive and taunting the U.S., or the Justice Department's trying to force Google to turn over a suspiciously broad array of information on millions of users' searches and Web addresses, supposedly to investigate online crime involving pornography.

1. Type "Bush Sucks" into Google Local
It's the second to last option up top...
I thought the result was rather interesting.

"Bush Sucks" in Google Picture is fun too.
In fact.. typing "Bush Sucks" just about
anywhere gets great results !!!!!!

2. Ok, maybe somebody can post the 2nd part, and someone else the 3rd part
Would that work?

3. Let's give them something to talk about.
Maybe if all 80,000+ DU members started a googling war, we could either give the NSA so much work that leads to nowhere that they'll either give up or hire lots of folks. "Bush sucks" is certainly a fun one.

5. I think they have the technology and capability to handle it
From what I gather they're sniffing/filtering god knows how many digital packets of information and have casted a very wide net that grows exponentially. I'm waiting for the list of millions of Americans that have had their personal communications sniffed. If I see my name I'm suing the Federal government.
