The State Of Our Union Is Tired As Hell Of Being Lied To…

Well, it’s almost time for our annual “pat ourselves on the back” address. In the meantime, we have the George Bush plan for Looking As If We Didn’t Lose On My Watch in Iraq. Obviously, the thing to do is commit more of our tired and worn out troops, no reflection on their courage or dedication, but not enough to do any good other than to prolong the fighting until 2008 when it will be someone else’s problem. Preferably if it’s a Democrat…this is the first indication that the Repubs intend to lose and dump all the problems they’ve created into the hands of the adults.

In other news, I wrote several officers at Google concerning the censorship I’ve been undergoing. As my regular readers will remember, in October Google Image Search blocked nearly ALL of my cartoons, except for the ones that showed up on other sites. On Monday it looked as if some action was taken to reinstate me, because 311 cartoons could now be seen on Image Search. Ah, but don’t get your hopes up Greg…less than 24 hours later, we were back to the original banned status. This is nothing short of harassment now. I think the Google officers ordered my reinstatement. The IS team followed their instructions and then *POOF* turned it back while “no one” was looking. Either that, or somehow they overwrote the reinstatement out of sheer incompetence. I’m writing to the board again. Don’t Be Evil?

When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going: BYE BYE DONALD!

Wanna Talk Mandate NOW, Georgie?

Well, the good news is that my natural paranoia about stealing elections turned out to be false and after 6 years of single-party government, the USA returns to a democratic system of government. The Democrats won the House by a huge margin, the Senate is JUST in Democratic hands, and George Bush has either got to learn humility and compromise or accomplish nothing in his last two years. I wish Nancy Pelosi had not promised not to seek impeachment for him, because if there’s any president who deserved it, it’s him. Perhaps, the grass roots will take it out of her hands 🙂

And the latest good news is that Don Rumsfeld has decided to scoot (or has been told to scoot) after four years of uncomprehending and uncompromising incompetence. I’m told there were cheers you could hear from the Pentagon all the way in Nordstrom’s in the mall across the street–the street being I-395! We’ll miss you Don, but hey, stuff happens …

The fun news of course is one of the election glitches that happened in Colorado. I haven’t been able to find out much more, but 41 out of 50 laptops seem to have been disabled by a squirrel at some point in time yesterday. Probably the squirrel ate through a cable connecting the laptops to the net (the best I can figure) but the only link to it I can find is through Wonkette, so click here for the link (Wonkette) Terrorist Squirrel Causes Chaos in Colorado

Now the bad news. I got an answer from Google–NOT by mail or email, of course, but by action. Remember how there were only 42 cartoons (out of an already reduced 386) left on Google Image Search because they’d subjected it to the Chinese censorship criteria and left China UNcensored? and how after I alerted them, they fixed China but left the US results censored? And how I wrote them again? WELL, guess what? There are only TEN (10) images now for my image search results! And two of those are my header and sidebar images! I’ve decided I’m NOT paranoid, someone IS out to get this page at Google. Yup folks, THIS PAGE IS TOO POLITICALLY DANGEROUS FOR GOOGLE. Or at least for someone who can alter search results who works there. I’m not sure of my next step, but believe me, it’s time to escalate. I’ll let you know if there’s anything YOU can do 🙂

This Friday, being Veteran’s Day, we’ll be taking the day off, so we’ll be back on Monday with more HAIL DUBYUS!

Instead Of Delivering The Coup De Grace To The Insurgency, We’ve Decided To Deliver The Coupe De Ville Instead

(AP) Bush keeps revising war justification

WMDs? Never existed. Bring the joys of Democracy? Fainter and fainter hope. Stabilize the Mideast? Hooboy! Now we’re back to Good and Eeeeeevil, but hell George, y’all’ve already killed more than Saddam and he had 20 years to do it in…

In the meantime, our Google Image Search results are still screwed up. China still gets our search results and we still get China’s. The longer it stays like this, the more we’re convinced there’s a renegade employee at Google (or a hacker) who’s instituting his or her own censorship program. Since he or she (it?) considers this website so dangerous, we’ve created a page of the cartoons that he/she has decided are too controversial for either China or the rest of the world–click on the words “MOST DANGEROUS CARTOONS ON THE INTERNET(s) above and see what horrible things the world is being protected from.
