Is The Obama Administration Targeting Conservative Websites?
If the IRS can target Conservatives, can the The Obama Administration also target conservative websites? With all the abuse of power that we are seeing now, it makes you wonder. I bet they are.
Some of you may remember last August when I moved this site from Blogger to where we are now. If not, here is a refresher:
I have decided to move away from Blogger to a new domain located at https://commonsenseevaluation.com.
The move is the result of several factors including Google recently deciding to prevent any post on this blog from showing up in domestic search results other than image searches. Google AdSense has also banned advertising on this site. I wonder if the thinned skinned Obama regime has anything to do with any of this! Do you remember when we had Freedom of Speech in this country? Just remember to protest at the voting booth on November 6th so we can vote these Ass clowns out of office so our God given freedoms aren’t totally repressed.
The initial move to this new domain back in August of 2013 fixed the Google search problem. The number of daily page loads was 10 times more than the old site. Well that lasted for about two months. Today we are back to being filtered out of domestic Google search results other than image searches. Is the Government restricting my first amendment rights or am I paranoid?
Google’s Bacon Number
The engineers in Mountain View, California have been spending their time trying to figure out how many degrees of separation there are between Kevin Bacon and every other actor, living or dead.
Effective immediately, if you perform a Google search for an actor’s name followed by the words “bacon number,” the first thing you’ll see is a bold declaration of how many degrees of separation there are between that actor and the seemingly omnipresent Mr. Bacon. Below that is a breakdown explsining how that number was calculated.
It turns into a surprisingly addicting game to try to find anyone at all who has a higher number than two. It seems nearly impossible to locate an actor who stretches to the full six degrees of separation.
Even such obscurities like Snooki from Jersey Shore are connected to Kevin Bacon through just one other actor. Even if you go back to people who died decades ago, the same thing applies. For example, Desi Arnaz of I Love Lucy fame was in the movie The Escape Artist. So was Joan Hackett. Hackett and Bacon were both in Only When I Laugh.
Orson Welles, Betty White, RuPaul, Elmo…they all have Bacon Numbers of 2.
It takes someone like William Rufus Shafter, whose entire filmography includes two short features from 1898 to attain a higher number than six. Google isn’t the only one to toy with this concept. In 2008, Microsoft analyzed instant message data and found most people are separated by no more than seven degrees.
