Insurgents replace bombs with humor

To date, the terrorists in Iraq have utterly failed to achieve their goals, and now it seems the terrorists are trying a new strategy: humor. Just days after threatening the life of an action figure, the Keystone Killers attacked a village, killing none and losing five of their own and a car in the process.

NBC/MSNBC U.N. correspondent on U.N. lobby's payroll

Looks like Ted Turner's pro-U.N. lobby has greasing some palms over at NBC News.

The State of the Union

One part really stood out tonight: Bush did an excellent job of plainly describing the whats and whys of Social Security reform. The main obstacle to SSR is that most people don't understand the situation, and tonight was a step towards rectifying that.

I must confess that I skipped the Democrats' State of the Grapes speech afterwards. It was pretty obvious the Dems would say they were sour.

Rumors swirl of Google Brothel

With rumors already swirling about a Google VoIP service, speculation is heating up about other Google services. Google founder Larry Page reputedly commented "Wow, she's hot!" after being introduced to one of Google's latest hires. This has led to rampant speculation that Google intends to expand into the Navada brothel industry.

"Oh, definately. It's a logical expansion for a company run by two very rich young men," said James Milbrook of analyst firm Goldblum-Dangerfield.

Sully Donovan of Search Watch takes a less optimistic view: "Realistically, how can they expand the business enough to significantly increase profits? How can they avoid losing focus on their core search business? This is a poorly-chosen distraction."

Founded in 1996, Google quickly rose to prominence by building a reputation for quality search results and a simple, fast web site. In the first nine months of 2004, Google made a $195 million profit on $2.1 billion in revenues.
