Not seeing squirrels today

Not a single one today.
I think maybe they enjoyed their snack of Juicy Fruit Gum (thanks for the tip) so much that they are off to W-M for more.

To do this post, I thought I'd do a search for a photo of a dead squirrel. I did a Google search using that term, but before I could click the 'images' tab, I noticed this interesting website in the number one position.

All Squirrels Must Die! Official homepage of the Squirrel Defamation League.The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.
www.deadsquirrel.com

Now , interestingly, eBay chose to buy an AdWords ad on the search page, which reads as follows:

Dead Squirrel
Whatever you're looking for
you can get it on eBay.
www.eBay.com

So who knows, maybe eBay is collecting them to offer to searchers. Maybe they have mine.

and, if you look at the official dead squirrel website, be sure to notice the Google AdWords ads on it. The web link ads included:

Stress Relief

Panic Attacks

Job Stress--get help now.

and my favorite;

All Natural Energy Substance, eliminate that need for the second cup of coffee.

These topics are related to Dead Squirrels...right?

What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
