Well, this may be a chance for Obama to return the google-favor. Google has long been a supporter of an anti-competitive internet regime called “net neutrality” (details not real important). Last time I looked, Barry O was also a supporter of net neutrality. Just recently, however, Google has switched to opposing net neutrality, again in consideration of competitive advantages. They’d probably like the New Leader to switch, too. We’ll see.

Oops, thought I had the Holder thread, but I see I’ve got the Schmidt thread. Say, at least one Obama pick bit the dust yesterday after being connected to Clinton’s end-of-term clemency festival. A congressman named Becerra was O’s pick for trade representative, but it looked like his lobbying on behalf of a big time coke dealer would have sunk his chances, so he bowed out. May Holder enjoy the same fate.

There are Senators, even some Donks, gunning for Holder. I think I’ll go see who’s taking bets on his confirmation.

Sure smells like a dirty politician play pen! Do you smell that?

Well, whatever Google was up to, they seem to have stopped. You can raise “Atlas Shrugs” now. But, yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if Schmidt were using Google to do Obama favors. Soon, he’ll likely be using Obama to do Google favors.

Media control is where it’s at for progressives.

(Now, wait for Diogenes to get started on “corporate media” and Fox News. )
