Meanwhile, the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is quoting government sources as saying that the German economy could contract by 3.0 percent or more next year. This would constitute the worst recession in German postwar history.



The Wall Street Journal reported that McCain was thinking about taking Palin to the U.N. General Assembly next week so she can shake hands with some heads of state. You can’t contract foreign policy experience like a rhinovirus. To paraphrase the sniffly Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls,” a poy-son could develop a cold war.

suck (BE BAD)
I'm sorry, but for as good as Google is at organizing the world's data, Google News absolutely sucks. Now, to be fair, I'm going to focus on Google News from a tech news perspective, because that's what I follow. Maybe it's better in other areas, but I doubt it's much better. I bring this up because a new update to the service today promised "More ways to see the story." Okay, that's true, as long as you don't mind seeing stories that range from partially unrelated to entirely unrelated.

How to Handle 'IHateYourCompany.com'

Some Firms Buy Up
Negative Domain Names
To Avert 'Gripe Sites'

In recent years, disgruntled consumers have launched hundreds of Web sites to air their grievances -- from starbucked.com and ihatestarbucks.com to boycottwalmart.org and againstthewal.com.
Are companies fighting back? A new study finds that some have been much more aggressive than others. Xerox, for example, has bought or registered about 20 unflattering domain names, including xeroxstinks.com, xeroxcorporationsucks.com and ihatexerox.net. But other companies, such as Dell, have taken a more hands-off approach. DellisEvil.com, MyDellSux.com and IHateDell.info are for sale, but the computer maker says it has no interest in buying them. (Those sites currently host no content.)
