If you use Google Shopping to find your guns, ammunition, accessories, etc., you will have to find an alternative immediately. Google has essentially eliminated almost every weapon-related item from the Google Shopping search feature. If you search for rifles, pistols, shotguns, ammunition, scopes, and other accessories on Google Shopping, you are now likely to come up with few results or none at all.
This poses an inconvenience for many gunowners, because they will have to change their shopping habits. The obvious choice is to move to Bing Shopping or Yahoo Shopping. Some shoppers may choose to use Google's general search feature to find stores that sell weapon-related products and visit each online store individually to look for products and pricing. Other shoppers may just do things the old way and stick with the stores they already know and pay whatever those stores happen to be charging for the products they want. Others may find more creative alternatives.
If you are a gunowner, how do you plan to work around the weapon-related product ban on Google Shopping?

At some point, some psychotic decision maker at the Drudge Report decided the main page needs to be refreshed every three minutes.

Empowerment Experiment a Bold Public Display of Blatant Racism
The Empowerment Experiment is a movement in which participants agree to patronize only Black-owned businesses. Participants in the program will avoid spending money at an establishment if the owner happens to be White, Latino, Asian, etc. Only if the owners are Black, will the Empowerment Experiment folks get out their wallets.
This is one of the largest and most open displays of racism in American in many years, and the media is practically praising it. For example, CBS ran a story on the news this morning about John and Maggie Anderson. The story followed the openly racist, Andersons as they traveled all over town seeking out and patronizing Black businesses exclusively. CBS barely addressed the racist facet of their activities and their movement.
Can you imagine if a White couple announced they were going to buy from only White-owned businesses and were going around in public and encouraging other Whites to do the same? CBS would never cover the story in a positive light. CBS might cover the story, but the angle would be "White Trash Hicks Get Racist with Their Wallets."
The Empowerment Experiment is completely racist and disgusting. People have a right to shop wherever they want to shop, but anyone who chooses to shop based on color should be ashamed of themselves. A civilized person shops where he gets good products and services at fair prices. Anyone shopping based on color is a sad, pathetic racist. Any reporter who reports on this sort of activity and ignores the racist implications is an intellectually dishonest hypocrite.

Oprah Winfrey Is the Most Famous Racist in America
Oprah Winfrey’s recent refusal to have Governor Sarah Palin on her show before the 2008 election has exposed a truth many have suspected for a long time. Oprah Winfrey is a racist, and she has made that glaringly clear by using her show and celebrity to blindly campaign for Senator Barack Obama while rejecting the idea of allowing Governor Palin to appear on her show during the campaign.
Oprah portrays herself as an “every woman.” She presents herself as the voice of the women of America. So, with Governor Palin being only the second female Vice Presidential candidate on a major political ticket in the history of America, why would Oprah not have her on? Clearly, Palin would be an interesting interview. The episode would get incredible ratings and make a lot of money. So, why does Oprah not want Palin on her show?
The answer is simple: Governor Palin is White. An appearance on Oprah’s show would get votes for Palin and help her win. Even though, Palin is an excellent female role model, Oprah cannot allow her to win, because that might hurt her Black candidate. What if Governor Palin were a Black woman? You can be sure Oprah would have had Palin on the month she became Governor and would have had her on again the week she announced for VP.
Oprah wants a Black President, and Obama is her only hope at this point. If Barack Obama were White, do you think Oprah would be backing him so vigorously? There have been many candidates with Obama’s political positions. Has Oprah ever campaigned for one of them? Oprah does not care nearly as much about politics as she cares about race.
Oprah’s racism goes far beyond the political realm. Time and time again, we have seen Oprah celebrate the accomplishments of Black people while ignoring the accomplishments of Whites, Asians, Hispanics, Arabs, East Indians, American Indians, etc. Why is it that the appearances of Black actors on her show is disproportionate to the number of appearances by White actors? Sure, Oprah has White actors like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts on her show, but how often do we see Oprah pay tribute to lives of Jamie Foxx and Angela Bassett? These stars are not equal in their successes, but you would never know that by seeing how they are treated by Oprah.
Even more ridiculous is the way Oprah worships Toni Morrison while ignoring much better writers of other races. If Toni Morrison where Asian, do you think Oprah would have had her on her show so many times?
Why does Oprah complain about the condition of schools in America, but she runs off to start schools in Africa? Bangladesh and Cambodia are terribly impoverished countries. Why does Oprah not do anything about their schools? Why does Oprah always talk about how difficult life is for Black children in poverty, but rarely mentions poor children from other races?
The evidence is clear. Oprah greatly favors her race over all other races. It is Oprah’s right to do this, but it does not mean she should not be exposed for what she is. Oprah Winfrey is a blatant racist. Not only is she a racist, Oprah Winfrey is the most famous racist in America.

Mysterious Cord on New York Times Photo
The New York Times has an odd photo on their Web site. The photo is of a woman in shorts standing in front of a group of military men. The odd thing about the photo is there is a portion of a microphone cord on the stage; however, the cord seems to mysteriously end a foot above the stage.
If you trace the expected path of the missing microphone cord, you can see some odd blurring. Some of the soldiers’ faces are smeared, and there is a strange, thin smudge running up the back wall of the room. The image oddities are all in the area where the rest of the microphone cord would be.
Has this photograph, taken by Jim Wilson, been doctored to remove the cord? If so, why?
Without the cord, it looks like a bunch or soldiers are ogling a sexy dancer. With the cord, it would appear that the soldiers are watching a singer or speaker. What’s going on here?
