Google was found last week to have violated antitrust law by illegally maintaining a monopoly in internet search. Now discussions over how to fix those violations have begun. Justice Department officials are considering what remedies to ask a federal judge to order against the search giant, said three people with knowledge of the deliberations involving the agency and state attorneys general who helped to bring the case. They are discussing various proposals, including breaking off parts of Google, such as its Chrome browser or Android smartphone operating system, two of the people said. Other scenarios under consideration include forcing Google...

The Internet is being used as a tool in politics. A case in point is the War in Iraq. Do a search of "Iraq War" in google and what do you get. Put in "weapons of mass destruction" and submit "I'm feeling luck". Notice how the 527's, Kerry's adds, and the Democrat use of the Internet are all focused in their attack on President Bush. I wonder what the focus will be tonight in the debates? War in Iraq?

If you thought there were some kooks on the right, you ain't seen nothing until you've visited this site. First, let me introduce myself. I am a conservative. What's more, I am a FReeper (screenname: WinOne4TheGipper). But I think conservatives, moderates and even sane liberals (if there are any left) can agree that this site is for the fringe leftists.
