Obama appears to have the kabillion-dollar internet company hypnotized, too.

From Mark:

Google denies that it is spiking Blogger users for their anti-Obama rants. And at least one credulous blogger (below) seems to be taking the company at its word.

But given Google’s iffy track record looking after its users’ interests, I say it is too soon to suggest Hilary diehards should feel embarrassed.

Their explanation is certainly interesting, and if true it means that Obama supporters had absolutely nothing to do with the Blogspot lockdowns.

I bet a few anti-Obama folks who thought they had discovered Hitler 2.0. might be feeling a little silly right now. Of course Miguel told me that Google wasn’t really elaborating much on this issue, and their claims sound a little suspicious, but wouldn’t it be ironic if they were telling the truth and the blogs were flagged simply because of the mass emailing?

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints reports a “flood of interest” in its Plain Jane threads. I’ve got my eye on the lucky Mormon underwear (right). I imagine there will be a few orders from those with a pervy interest (role-players) in the product. But the FLDS clothes for sale are for kids only. — mb

And they did impart of their substance, every man according to that
which he had, to the poor, and the needy, and the sick, and the
afflicted; and they did not wear costly apparel,
yet they were neat and comely. Alma 1:27

My midlife crisis has taken a turn toward consumerism: I did need a watch, and I found a brilliant one from TokyoFlash (mine is the discontinued Jackpot, which you can still find at Overstock.com). TF’s watches are a must for Escape from New York fans, or anyone who likes the feel of a chunky, retro-meets-dystopian future kind of thing. — mb

Galaxy watch with Digital Tube LED
The cryptic looking display is deceptively easy to read; one touch of the upper button initiates a programmed animation of light, and then presents the time. Twelve yellow bars represent hours in a clock wise direction, eleven red bars represent groups of five minutes and four green bars show single minutes. Pressing the lower button presents the time immediately. No ordinary design, Galaxy has a modern look with futuristic style.
