Google: Caught in a Queer Quagmire
Google is in a fabulous fix with their Language Tools.
PinkNews reports that Google has agreed to change the Arabic translation of the word “gay” within Google’s translation tool.

Dilbert: Solving World Peace
From the Dilbert blog, via Instapundit:
Recently we had a heat wave in California. My air conditioner broke because, I assume, it is not designed to operate in hot weather. That was the bad news. The good news is that I solved the problems in the Middle East. Allow me to explain.

jesus, muhammed, and the media

if you lie, you are in no position to lead. [...]

hezbollah and the IDF: compare tactics
curtis, the sage: “al-jazeera is the same as FOX news!”
here are some of curtis’ recent shills for al-jazeera. it’s almost as if he’s trying to sell you an al-jazeera subscription door-to-door:
I read al jazeera all the time actually. It’s available on the internet in english and I’ve found them to be a fairly even-handed news organization. After you have read them for a [...]
read about the effects of paintbrush syndrome in comments by curtis to doug’s recent post, “defending israel.” in essence, it is unfair (and an instance of the frowned-upon “paintbrush syndrome”) to refer to more than one muslim group in the same breath. curtis has written:
I think you are affected with paintbrush syndrome. You [...]
