Stephen Colbert Testifies on Capitol Hill
There's nothing funny about the issue of migrant farm labor -- unless Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert is discussing it.Colbert, accompanied by a media swarm, sarcastically testified on Capitol Hill Friday about the conditions facing America's undocumented farm workers.
The popular host of "The Colbert Report" told members of a House Judiciary subcommittee that he hoped to bring attention to the workers' hardships.
"I certainly hope that my star power can bump this hearing all the way up to C-SPAN 1," he joked.

Free beer?!
Free beer. That grabs people's attention. And Anheuser-Busch hopes that free beer — plus a massive advertising push — will grab some new drinkers for its sagging flagship brand Budweiser.The brewer announced Wednesday plans for a "national happy hour" on Sept. 29 to distribute free samples of Budweiser at bars and restaurants. Details of the availability of the free beer — 6 to 12 ounce samples, depending on local and state rules — were still being hammered out.
A-B also will launch a new Budweiser ad campaign with the slogan, "Grab some Buds." Beginning Saturday and continuing through Oct. 3, 90 percent of A-B's advertising will focus on Budweiser, more than doubling the brand's typical exposure and making Budweiser hard to miss.
The goal is to revive a brand that saw its U.S. market share peak in 1988, at 26 percent. By last year, it had declined to 9.3 percent.

Google can make an entire city disappear!
It's home to 90,000 people, one of the nation's biggest malls, a National Hockey League team and, the city's mayor boasts, the first IKEA store in the state.But, for at least a month this summer, Google's computers "lost" Sunrise, Florida.
People who searched Google Maps for the city were directed instead to Sarasota, Florida -- a place that, while an alphabetical cousin of Sunrise, is actually 200 miles away. No Sunrise business or addresses or phone numbers showed up. Even city hall and other public entities were strangely absent, according to reports on news sites, blogs and Google help forums.
Google says it has since fixed the "technical error," and if you searched Google Maps for Sunrise on Wednesday, you would find a healthy grid of streets, malls and parks on the far outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, where it's supposed to be.
But this week's fix didn't come until after public outcry.
