So did writing which replaced memorization. Which, when you think about it, is very interesting. Google represents a very fundamental shift in how we obtain and process information that rivals the invention of writing and the printing press.

Perhaps someone could tell me what Boxing Day is also? (That's the day the Tsunami hit.)
Anyone?
As a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL over at DU myself, I can tell you that the fun for me is not in helping them make fools of themselves. That would be like helping the sun to rise. The real fun is in seeing just how much you can p*** them off without getting banned.
The whole point of TROLLING is to stir up the fish.
Steyn nails another one! As usual. :^D
Je$$e HiJack$on is so pre 9/11/2001.
I thought the base had to run like hell to keep up with the kookyness of Kennedy, Algore, Dean, and on and on ... right down the line the Democrat politicians are a freak show unto themselves.
'Cept for Jonah Goldberg, I can think of no one in his class for incisive comment coupled with withering humor.

"At midday Thursday, as George W. Bush was about to be confirmed formally as the winner of the presidential election, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, described by Agence France-Presse as the ''Democratic former presidential hopeful,'' led 400 other Democrats in a protest outside Congress. Presidential-wise, they may be former but they're still hopeful. So they were wearing orange, the color of the election protesters in Ukraine, who overturned their own stolen election with an ''orange revolution.''"
Oh, please, let them continue this nonsense! They destroy whatever credibility the Dems may have had.
Unwittingly, these folks who can't get over 2000 may represent the magic formula for turning even the 'blue' states into 'red' states for 2008. They may be forgetting that there were many 'red' counties in the so-called 'blue' states. Didn't see any 'orange.'
Liberty allows such ridiculous political expression. Isn't it wonderful?
We now return to our regularly scheduled posts.
Seems like we need another Buckhead moment on FR. I am also sick and tired of the MSM and the big newspapers defending the dumbocRATs and their protests or recounts. There's not a week goes by that the Austin, Ultra Liberal, Un-American, Longhorn Pravda doesn't run something demeaning about Bush or Republicans.
You know, the Clintonista campaign funding scandal was run on page A-10 in that rag yesterday. Not more than three paragraphs to boot. Anything about Delay, is the #1 headline on page A-1, and just screams at the reader.
"But in Ohio, Bush managed to win not just beyond the margin of error but beyond the margin of lawyer."
The "beyond the margin of lawyer" reference is by far the most succinct way to describe the whole Ohio issue, as trumped up as the claims of fraud are.

Social : Boxing Day Origins
by Gary Stapleton on 26-Dec-04 10:14am
The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. The term may come from the opening of church poor boxes that day; maybe from the earthenware boxes with which boy apprentices collected money at the doors of their masters' clients. Boxing Day, celebrated on December 26 in England, Wales, parts of Canada, and in some other countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, has nothing to do with the boxes from the Christmas packages.
Traditionally, on that day the gentry would give presents, generally of money, to servants, tradespeople, and others of humble life. These presents came to be known as Christmas boxes. Boxing Day is a legal bank holiday in Canada and England.
The holiday may date from the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It may have begun with the lords and ladies of England, who presented Christmas gifts in boxes to their servants on December 26. Or it may have begun with priests, who opened the church's alms boxes on the day after Christmas and distributed the contents to the poor. Or even in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria.
Supposedly poor people carried empty boxes from door to door, and the boxes were soon filled with food, Christmas sweets, and money. Parents gave their children small gifts such as, oranges, handkerchiefs, and socks. People also placed old clothing that they didn't need anymore in boxes, and they were given to those in need.
haha! Shed a tear for the poor disenfranchised voters, Bahbah!!
Sheesh! Not surprising. The a-holes.
(Assuming best Elvis impersonation voice...
"Thank you, thankyouverymuch..."
I bet the guys at google would like to believe that. It's a good point. A bit overstated.
The invention of the printing press singlehandedly changed the world.
Caveman wrote on the walls, so maybe it is not that earth shattering.
Google changed the speed in which we can obtain and process information. Fundamental? No. Nice evolution of technology already in existence. Yes.
For me the spell check is far better tool than google, but I'm a terrible speller!!!
it just may be that the reason the dems are having problems with vote counting in democrat counties in florida and ohio, is the democrat plantation skool system!
these democrat election workers may have been injured in their intellectual inquiries by the skool system, and consequently they count the votes wrong.
these educational malfunctions caused by democrat skooling happen all the time. been to the local drugstore or supermarket and a skool graduate mis-counts your change? or posts a .25 cents sign?
