Matt Jones' Random Acts of Verbiage

There has been lots of talk around the blogosphere about how Google contributed to (far) leftist group MoveOn (as ineffectual as they are). There has been a wide range of responses to this. Some folks on the right are going so far as to suggest a boycott of any company that advertises through Google’s Adsense program or to take steps to remove Google’s search bar from Firefox. For some, this is just another straw against Big Brother Google and their China loving (although Yahoo was much worse as far as this goes), left leaning ways. While I don’t think MoveOn is worthy of Google’s benefaction, I am not going to get all up in arms about it. Now I don’t agree with all of Google’s practices, but they are still a quality company that puts out great products that I enjoy using! I just think that some people like to complain. Do people cut off ties with family members because they have different political views? (If you answered ‘yes’ to this, you have issues.) H/t to Kristin.

Another thing that made me actually laugh out loud (also via Kristin) was this story about a Pittsburg Pirates farm team, the Altoona Curve, who are going to have a promotion night titled “Salute to Frivolous Lawsuit Night”! Go read the promotion, it is hilarious, especially this line: There will be “A grand prize drawing in which one fan will receive a “clue” and their own frivolous lawsuit.” Heh, classic.
