Roberto Mugabe stole the election in Zimbabwe, and the EU is considering sanctions. Tune in to Damian Penny and Glenn Kinen for volatile reactions (this is why we blog- because bloggers, unlike politicians and the mainstream press, manage to remember right from wrong and loudly pronounce the differences), and remember why the United States seems to like to act unilaterally when things need to get done.

Another sorta mainstream mention for Sgt. Stryker. Yesterday it was National Review’s Corner, today it is Spintech. How long before the military starts inquiring? I am willing to bed that the military will realize that Sgt. Stryker is the type of military public relations they NEED, despite his frequent (and appropriate) criticisms of the military.

Are google-bombs going to kill google? Thanks for the heads up from the FU Clan.

Popular search site Google is being exploited by some net users to mount protests and play jokes on their friends.
The users have found a way to “bomb” Google to improve the rankings of particular webpages, and ensure a site is near the top of the results for particular search phrases.

Before now Google’s method of ranking webpages was thought to make it largely immune to the tactics that many businesses use to improve their position in web searches.

Some fear it is only a matter of time before businesses start using the bombing tactic to influence their standing in search results.
