Smarmy Billionaire Wants Your Money
The SuperRich Love to Tax the Merely SortaRich: Arthur Laffer: The Bill Gates Income Tax
If Mr. Gates Sr. and his son feel so strongly about taxing the rich, they should simply give the state a chunk of their own money and be done with it. Leave the rest of Washington's taxpayers alone.

Maureeen Dowd AKA "Bizarre Midlife Emotional Basket Case" Mean Maureen - By Dana Perino - The Corner - National Review Online
One night her name came up at a dinner attended by members of both parties. Someone told a story about how at a past dinner she’d been a guest and had been droning on and on in a catty way and that one of the men at the table wrote on a cocktail napkin and passed it to another. It said, “What happened to her?” Sigh. Who the heck knows?

To have the same chances of gaining admission as a black student with an SAT score of 1100, an Hispanic student otherwise equally matched in background characteristics would have to have a 1230, a white student a 1410, and an Asian student a 1550.
Inside your own filter bubble: Eli Pariser on the future of the Internet - War Room - Salon.com
On Google, most people assume that if you search for BP, you'll get one set of results that are the consensus set of results in Google. Actually, that isn't true anymore. Since Dec. 4, 2009, Google has been personalized for everyone. So when I had two friends this spring Google "BP," one of them got a set of links that was about investment opportunities in BP. The other one got information about the oil spill. Presumably that was based on the kinds of searches that they had done in the past. If you have Google doing that, and you have Yahoo doing that, and you have Facebook doing that, and you have all of the top sites on the Web customizing themselves to you, then your information environment starts to look very different from anyone else's. And that's what I'm calling the "filter bubble": that personal ecosystem of information that's been catered by these algorithms to who they think you are.Posted by Vanderleun at October 17, 2010 2:25 PM
Hmmm, not sure about musicblog radio station surfing. I like the impersonal approach of Pandora's personalizing of my musical tastes. Besides, the musicians are top grade perfessionles.

Gate's favorite Persident -- the current occupant of the WH -- says that "after some point you've made enough money," or something. Based on that premise and the apparent ideology of the Gates's, I would like to put a $1 billion ceiling on Bill Jr.'s personal wealth, and I would like him to redistribute the remainder ($29-$39 billion) to thousands of worthy individuals, Including myself. With the great variety of different endeavors that these thousands who would put this money to use, the economy should bloom like nobody's business.
So I would like to conclude by saying: "Thanks Bill and Bill! Now please show us the money!"
And, yeah, Bill X 2, I know about your friggin' foundation, but that money goes to whatever the progressive elite consider worthy, and therefore at least half of it is wasted, and half of the remainder is stolen.

Posted by: Maureen at October 18, 2010 3:19 PMHave a look for Scroogle. (www.scroogle.org) It uses the Google search engine, but anonymises the search because it's Scroogle itself doing the searching. It also removes all the paid-for hits from Google Adwords.
