In the war between Earth image browsers, it doesn't seem like much of a challenge. Microsoft's satellite imagery shows vintage stuff like the twin towers and the nonexistence of things like Apple's headquarters (presumably due to old satellite data) whereas Google's system is up to date and in color. Another interesting tidbit is that the infamous Area 51 shows up on Google but Microsoft has it blacked out. No word yet if Microsoft has also blacked out Barbara Striesand's home.

Jeb Bush Wants To Probe Dead Woman Vegetable

[Beating Dead Horses]
As if the governor of Florida hasn't anything better to do; as if the dead horse that is the Terri Schiavo case doesn't need any more beating, the illustrious Jeb Bush now wants to open an investigation into what caused the collapse into a coma of Terri Schiavo fifteen years ago.

It's bad enough they won't admit they were wrong about Schiavo's mental state, of the overwhelming hypocrisy in their "right to live" policies, but leaving this grieving family in peace seems to be one thing they're not willing to do if it will create yet another distraction or pseudo-controversy for their followers to focus on.

What's the moral of this story? Does it have anything to do with a person's fight for life or rehabilitation? A debate on the value of euthenasia or spousal rights? Nope.

This is all about how, if you embarass or piss off people in power, they will do their best to destroy you. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong. If those in power want to take you down, they'll keep probing until they find something, anything. Expect to see Michael Schiavo under indictment for removing the tag from his mattress.

No more than a week or two after Lucas adamantely claimed this was the end of the Star Wars movies, he is now hinting at doing a prequel to Episode I, proving that he has yet to beat the bloody pulp that was once a single great movie, into a steaming pile of medocrity designed to sell boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats and M&Ms.
