Week 16 of POOP

Sixteen weeks.

That's as long as any song has ever spent at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.

It's about how long I was in high school before my first suspension there.

It's 3 times as long as the '91 Gulf War, in fact.

And now it's been 16 weeks since we introduced POOP - to combat Google's disregard for basic privacy.

But Google is stubborn - so they've stretched what could have taken 5 minutes of their time into an ordeal that's been 4 months and counting.

If there was a gold medal for futility and thickheadedness, Google would have enough gold to melt down and pay off the national debt.

Meanwhile, I just learned yesterday that someone (apparently in local government) forged my name on a brand new spam post, and had their newsreader set to a date that was years ago, to make it look like I posted it. We know it's a new post, however, because it just now appeared. Google offers no mechanism for deleting forged posts.

And to think right-wingers actually believe Google is a bunch of leftists. Now they're accusing Google of suppressing information about the climate change e-mails that they've been harping about. Well, that right-wing claim is about to be debunked here like so many others, so hang on to your hats.
