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.

Just because you haven’t been doing any reading and believe all the hot air […]

remember when comedy central censored refused to show a depiction of muhammed from an episode of south park? the south park guys, matt stone and trey parker, just gave an interesting interview at ign.com:

Matt: “It’s open season on Jesus.”
Trey: “Yeah. You can do anything you want to Jesus.”
[they] learned the ridiculous […]

Bushitler and Dumbsfeld have proven they are in no position to lead our military. They got everything wrong and they lied to us Travis. Why can’t you just admit that lying is bad? It’s even worse when it costs human live and enslaves with debt.

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

this photo is from day 22 of her two-month “fast.”
at least she’s fulfilling part of the law of the fast. i have no idea whether she’s hungry or not:

i don’t know anything about this guy, so i probably shouldn’t be endorsing this video, but he has some advice on handwashing that i think everyone should hear.

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 […]

Amy Gahran has the best summary of this whole thing and why it isn’t a big deal at all.
There’s recently been a major and controversial overhaul of Netscape’s services. The most notable addition is that Netscape has created its own version of Digg.
If you haven’t used Digg, it’s worth checking out. This model has endless […]

The Israeli Foreign Minister, Tzipi Livni, answers questions from the German newspaper Der Spiegel.
SPIEGEL: How do you react to the massive international criticism of the many innocent victims?
Tzipi Livni: I very much regret the civilian victims. But there is a very significant difference between us and our enemies: we are defending ourselves against anyone who […]

Why exert effort and try to convince the public that the Nobel Peace Prize is a yearly award for left-wing nutjobs? Let’s just let the Prize winners talk!
Nobel peace laureate Betty Williams displayed a flash of her feisty Irish spirit yesterday, lashing out at US President George W.Bush during a speech to hundreds of […]

The Doha round of trade talks have completely broken down. Let’s be clear, this is entirely the fault of both the US and EU insistance on starving Third World farmers through the use of domestic agricultural subsidies.
Of course, the EU representative doesn’t see it that way. She claims that the whole kerfuffle is […]
