Apparently this is old news (I'm so behind the times, but what else is new?), but I still think it's funny.
If you search on Google for "miserable failure," the number one result is for the George W. Bush biography on the White House site.
Now, not only do I find this humorous, I also think it's really spiffy keen how it's happening. The BBC published an article about it back in December. Here's the gist. Part of how Google ranks results is based upon the links that are going to a page. And the link text helps determine the keywords that Google thinks are appropriate for that page. So, enough people have posted on their sites that miserable failure should go to the Bush bio page, that they have altered the rankings in Google.
Talk about power to the people.


On a related topic: I went to see Stepford Wives last night and there was a trailer for Michael Moore's new movie, Fahrenheit 9/11. It's basically a George W. Bush/U.S. Government spank-fest as it relates to their actions post 9/11. Now, I don't always agree w/M.M., and I know he pisses a lot of people off, but I totally didn't expect part of the audience to boo at the trailer, which is exactly what they did. Now I *have* to see the movie. :)
