Rooting is something of a corporate taboo, so trying to avoid that.
However, I did discover if you "Uninstall Updates" for the bloatware that is Google Goggles, it then reports as zero size in the application list. So you can't remove the corpse, but you can drain all its blood. Unfortunately, it keeps showing up in my market list of things to update, but I can ignore it there as much as I ignored it everywhere else.
