Feds Want To See Google Searches.

Apparently, they want to see how many times I looked up "barely legal plushie hentai" this week (Seventeen times, if you have to ask. Hint: always use quotes in your Google searches).

From the A.P.:

The government wants a list all requests entered into Google's search engine during an unspecified single week — a breakdown that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases.

In court papers that the San Jose Mercury News reported on after seeing them Wednesday, the Bush administration depicts the information as vital in its effort to restore online child protection laws that have been struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ahhh, the children. Always about the children. I'd like to know why no one ever wants to protect my *Dad* from viewing online pornography-- I assure you, this prospect is far more frightening to me than Junior surfing for Jenna Jameson photos.
"Search engines now play such an important part in our daily lives that many people probably contact Google more often than they do their own mother," said Thomas Burke, a San Francisco attorney who has handled several prominent cases involving privacy issues.
Well, let's be honest: my mother couldn't tell me where I could find the Colin Farrell sex tape, let alone the Tom Sizemore sex tape. Now, if there had ever been an Engelbert Humperdinck sex tape, dear departed Mom would have been all over that like Michael Moore on Old Country Buffett.

Anyway, this doesn't really rub me all that badly. I mean, it's not like Uncle Sam will discover my personal searching habits from this information. Google could, of course, be at risk for losing some of its trade secrets, but even that argument is rather specious. Personally, if one wants to complain about the lack of privacy in America, I'd look at the United States government long after I looked at other, worse, candidates: credit bureaus, insurance companies, and the Scientologists.

Okay, I made that last one up. Just wanted to see if everyone was still awake here.

What, do you hate family values or something?

I thought it had more to do with child porn and online predators of children. No privacy interest in that stuff.

If only Jenna Jameson pics were all we had to worry about kids seeing. I wouldn't even mind THAT. Geeze!

With spyware and hackers etc. abounding, it's gotta be getting tougher all the time to prove from computer records who actually did the surfing.

Has the "it was a virus, your honor, not I, that looked down the girl's blouse" defence been tried yet?

Actually, the government here is looking at anonymous data only--no one is identified.

I'm not sure exactly what they are after, but I suspect Google is hiding something. They've probably been steering people toward "Farm Sluts Dot Com" or some such site.

Huh?......Wha?.....(wipes drool off corner of mouth.....)

I got the impression that this was directed more at USERS of kiddie porn and not at kids themselves.

Since hearing about this, I've started searching Google with long strings of obscenities from "The Aristocrats" jokes. I wanna give the Gummint some good search strings to look through.

Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
