Google Desktop borks the date field

I quite like the Google Desktop news discovery feature. It pops up in the corner of my computers with headlines that, based on my reading, I might like. I wish Google would let me do more with it - enter keywords that the software should focus on or let me focus on blogs and the expense of traditional media, for example.

Today I noticed that the date field was having issues. We're all back in 1970 now.
