Yesterday, in response to Associated Press board Chairman and MediaNews Group CEO Dean Singleton’s diatribe against those who shoplift news and his pledge to “protect news content from misappropriation,” Google posted a response on its public policy blog.Of course, that has nothing to do with the fact that most people think the Singleton speech was aimed at the search giant and its burgeoning power over the distribution of media, although Google was not named by him.Still, it’s always nice to make nice. Sort of.So, it was hard to resist translating this Google (GOOG) blog by one of its lawyers.Google wrote: Some questions related to Google News and the Associated Press Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 8:03 AM Posted by Alexander Macgillivray, Associate General Counsel for Products and Intellectual PropertyTranslation: Questions?

Unfortunately, tonight we are all missing out: Liza Minnelli is singing a bunch of songs we know but desperately try to pretend that we don’t know, for free, tonight, on the island of carnivals (a.k.a. the soon to be closed for re-development Coney Island). If the thought of riding the Cyclone while eating a Nathan’s Hot Dog and listening to “The Trolley Song” isn’t enough to make you barf all over your keyboard, maybe this will: CLICK IF YOU DARE. Anyway, Cabaret was Liza’s one truly great film, and in my opinion it’s the best movie musical every made. It screens for free on August 14th at Brooklyn Bridge Park. If you are at all curious as to how Liza Minnelli could ever be totally smokin’ hot and WAY worth your roughly two hours, go to the move. It’s free. And it still a pretty much blows my mind: MOVING ON. On Tuesday, August 12th Blue Velvet is screening at the McCarren Park Pool, and on the Tuesday after that, you can catch “Velvet Goldmine”. If you’ve been too busy spelunking since 1986 and happened to miss both of these films, you need to go see them. Again, they’re FREE. Also outdoors, where you’ll be surrounded by people who love the movies, or who are far too cool to admit that they don’t love the movies. Side note: Blue Velvet is not a musical or a film about music. But I doubt it would be half as haunting, or have the same name if it wasn’t for Bobby Vinton’s song - the title track. (The Roy Orbison track is pretty fucked up too, though). Other side note: Velvet Goldmine is a ridiculously indulgent and whimsical musical-film, based on (Ziggy) Stardust Mythology - it is probably my favorite Todd Haynes flick. Batman Christian Bale is far less laughable in his role here than in his new summer flick, which is funny since in this one he’s a sexually confused young man and in his new one he’s a husky voiced crime fighter. ...
