Well, Google's Dead

"It doesn't mean that Google has to be a lesser company," says a high-tech IPO lawyer about Google's prospects after its inevitable IPO, "but it does mean it will be a different company."

Atually, it means it has to be a lesser company -- can you name a single company that has gotten cooler and more responsive to its customers and more fun after corporatizing for their IPO? No. They all end up like eBay -- once-cool services that now require 15 tries to even get a response, let alone fix a problem. In fact, let's call it the eBay effect.

Google was and still is great -- but that's all gonna change.

    Sooner or later, I'm sure, I'll be found out. The word will be out that I went around via Google to the various anti-Bush weblogs, and much like a busy little bee, deposited a comment in those weblogs that allow for such.

    At one particular weblog I visited, the blogeuse was at the time in despair. Seemingly, indisputable files documenting Dumb'ya's misgovernance grow thicker and even more nauseating daily. Nonetheless, his lead in the polls increases. Ya'know, that's enough to blow anybody's mind. And so, I asked myself a couple questions. What could be going on? What could be the explanation?

    It's sort'a like admitting tha'cher favorite aunt gets her jollies from 'communing' with alligators. Aaay, c'mon, that's the best way I know how to phrase it ... gimme a break. For all we know, the current chairman of the Federal Communications Commission checks up on your website DAILY."

    And here's the permissible portion of the comment I left.

    "Recently, Ted Koppel used his allotment of television time to swirl some sobriety into this country's awareness of Iraq. As the photos of American service personnel, who had been killed in Iraq, were being displayed, Mr Koppel recited their names. As best I can, in my own small way, I'm trying to emulate the man. And so, I'd like you to consider reading the text for a "state of the union" address that I believe is imperative for this country of ours.
