Adwordsprop

  • Posted by: Andrew Price
  • on May 5, 2008 at 7:32 pm

Between making its own news reports and staging its own press conferences and dispatching “message force multipliers,” the government has really been going out of its way to keep us all informed. Now our government has started a Google Adwords campaign (see screenshot) to defend American foreign policy. It looks like these ads may only be showing up outside the U.S., but our main concern is that the campaign is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Thanks Folkert.

    R.I.P., F-22

    On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted 58-40 to stop production of the F-22 stealth fight plane. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates had lobbied extensively—if not surprisingly—to close the program, and President Barack Obama vowed to veto the waiting defense bill if it contained funding for more F-22s. Fred Kaplan of Slate is apt to call the vote "the beginning of a new phase in defense politics."
