Same Shit, Different Year

The Google Test

In what his aides are calling "a major speech" later today, Tim Pawlenty will pledge to dramatically cut taxes and eliminate certain parts of government if elected president.

Here's his guide: "We can start by applying what I call 'The Google Test.' If you can find a good or service on the Internet, then the federal government probably doesn't need to be doing it."

It's hardly a new idea, however. Former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith (R) called the same principle a "yellow pages test" more than 15 years ago in the pre-Google era.

OK: if we do the same thing to Pawlenty that was done to santorum, that ought to take care of the Google Search meme.


The only consideration is, what down pawlenty mean? Falling asleep during sex? Coming on an unconscious partner? screwing a dog?

So that's what happened that bridge!

How about using the internet to find hookers?

Coming on an unconscious partner?
A Handi-wipe, no biggie.

Falling asleep during sex?
Yes, someone fall asleep/passed out on us once (Quaaludes) too.

Mighty picky for a zombie, 'though we too draw a line at dogs.
