Trust me.
Go to google.
Type ‘miserable failure’.
The hit ‘I’m feeling lucky’.
Oh, those wacky coders.
Heh. Hee. HAW HAW!
(In case it’s changed, it takes you to GWB’s biography.)
Makes perfect sense if one reads the biography on the site.
Not a single thing in that list of proposals has been realized. Some of them have actually gone in the opposite direction. I haven’t heard a single peep from anyone in the federal government about education. Not that they should anyway, education is a state matter, federal meddling only makes thing a lot worse and a lot more expensive.
By ‘transform our national defense’, I assume they mean ‘turn our defense into a tool of conquest’. Doesn’t help the people regardless.
By ‘provide tax relief’, the administration has feigned caring about the average taxpayer while simultaneously pouring billions into giant money pits in the Middle East, and greatly increasing the scope and power of the federal government. In effect he’s giving back a tiny bit of taxes in exchange for enormous increases in the future, but of course the Republicans will be able to conveniently be able to blame them on the Democrats, eh?
These people must think ‘modernize’ and ‘completely fuck up’ are synonyms. Perhaps they need to go back to 2nd grade and ascertain the difference.
Wow, quite a dramatic turnaround. Limited government? Guess that explains why Rumsfeld and Ashcroft are in office. Personal responsibility? What a joke. Strong families? A nice idea, but how in the hell is government intervention ever going to make that a reality? Never, that’s when.
I, at least, applaud whoever did this. Need more of it.

Ha ha, that’s so original. Ever heard of a googlebomb?
The words “miserable” and “failure” aren’t written anywhere on the page. They’re also aren’t in any of the code for the page. Shouldn’t both those words appear on the page somewhere in order for it to be the number entry for that search?
Here’s how it happened:

Is that what a “googlebomb” is SmackFu?
Siegfried: Google has dumped keyword searching (well, mostly) because it’s open to so much abuse. People can put crap words into their page simply to lure in search engines, and Google doesn’t want its database polluted like that.
So, what does Google do instead? PageRank. That is its own algorithm that ranks pages based on relevance, which is partly a measure of how other pages link to them, and the relative rank of those pages, and so on.
Google google bomb and you get this: http://www.microcontentnews.com/articles/googlebombs.htm.
Heh, should of thought of that.
Jonathan, dear, why were you googling “miserable failure?” Is there something you’d like to unburden yourself of?
If a lot of people use Miserable Failure then google assumes that people think that the two terms are closely related to President Bush. Hence If you keep saying Miserable Failure and using it as a link, it’s probable the ranking of the site will rise.

Would that it were so uplifting, mon ami.
Sadly, I found the link in the mundanity of fark.
I need to keep better track of the threads where I post questions. Thanks for the answers. I knew Google used PageRank, but I had also assumed that it still used keywords as well. Question answered, and thanks again.
So, all we have to do is link to it with the words “miserable failure” to keep it up. Huh.
