Take a look under legal notices. The back and forth between them and google is great:

[Booble responding to Google]

3. the BOOBLE mark is distinct from the GOOGLE mark in that it differs in sound, appearance, commercial impression, and other relevant aspects:
1. it features a woman's chest;
2. it uses the phrase, 'The Adult Search Engine;'
3. it posts a warning that the web site contains explicit content; and
4. it disclaims any association with Google.com.

Helichopper kill

I saw this on World News Tonight a week or 2 back. That cannon is maked to attack tanks and other armor. There is nothing left of where the men were except burning brush

There is a prof at Georgia Tech who has this page a day calendar of Bush quotes. One was in response to the question a reporter posed about the Patriot Act. Bush said "Its the job of the Judical Branch to make the laws and the Executive Branch to interpret them"

Yes, this is the man we have running our country.

I would argue that there very fact you have a Black Student of the year instead of a Student of the year is in and of itself a mistake. What does that say, "None of these students could win 'Student of the Year' so we have a running just for them?" Bullshit. And if its an African American Club in the school giving the award for raising issues or something, isn't a white just as able to educate the public about mispresentation/mistreatment of Blacks. If the answer is no then a lot of my fellow democrats have wasted there time. I think a white kid from South Africa could just as easily talk about issues/problem/slavery in African as a Black kid whose last 3 generations are from Arkansas or something.

The "We should be treated equal, but at the same time have our own special club just for us" thing does not work.

Just my $0.02
