This is funny, if I may say so myself.Laughing

Google is fighting a subpoena from the Bush Administration to turn over its data on searches in order to defend the Internet Child Protection Act. Of course, I support whatever the Bush Administration thinks it needs to do to protect children from the Internet and think Google should surrender this data immediately. However, I was looking at the record of Google searches I have done and am worried that there might be some misunderstandings when these searches are seen out of context. So in case Google does lose its case, I would like to take this opportunity to explain some of the searches I did so that no one in the Justice Department gets the wrong idea. As you can see there are innocent explanations for all of them:


The excuses!
Quote:

paris hilton video - I was planning a vacation and looking for a video travelogue about hotels in Paris.

nude teens - This was a typo. I was looking for "rude teens" to research a piece on the decline of manners in American young people, which is a very big problem.

growing marijuana - I was researching the problem of growing marijuana use in the U.S. I must have left off the word "use."

escorts - I was doing research on buying a Ford.

viagra - This was for a tribute I was writing on Bob Dole.

download free music - Of course I support copyright laws and was doing research on the criminals who break them.

google earth di-- cheney's house - I have always been curious about where our Vice President stays when he is not in hiding. That's all. It was nothing more than curiosity. I don't think this search was ultimately successful, anyway.

olsen twins - Who doesn't like the Olsen twins and their fine family movies?

loofah sponges - I don't remember why I was searching for this.

jon swift is a hunk-"Did not match any documents" Sigh.

g-- p--n - I honestly don't know how this got on my list of searches. I think someone was using my computer and I aim to find out who it was.

The government (any government) would likely find my searches pretty dull.
That doesn't mean I'd like to make them available just because they're curious.

Hahaha.... Very Happy
I don't think my government is interested in finding out what I've been searching for.... they have their own problems and most of them is just like that man with the explanations..... Exclamation Question Wink
