Google F.U. (that is, Follow Up): You know I used to be a big fan of Google, and I defended them when economic know-nothings made them the latest windmill in their campaign against successful American companies (Microsoft, Walmart). But I'm not naive, and I don't buy into corporate philosophies. Everyone's got a price.

Remember the old joke about the man and the woman in the bar?

Man: Sleep with me for a million bucks?

Woman: Sure.

Man: How about for a sawbuck?

Woman: Whaddya think I am, a whore?

Everyone's got a price, and today Google's the whore.
