Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it RIGHT HERE first! Once again, FreeRepublic scoops the world!

As of 2:07 pm Central Standard Time, Jan 25, 2004, Michael Moore has replaced our United States President as Google's preferred pick for "miserable failure."

An article published just two days ago in Britain's Guardian newspaper commented on the, um "rising star" of Michael Moore in the Google search engine category. At that time, former US President Jimmy Carter was at the number two spot, and Moore was at third.

Google's preferred pick is found by typing the words in the search engine window, then hitting the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

Earlier, the phrase "miserable failure" would produce Moore - but only if enclosed in quotes. Now, there's no qualifier - Moore, the miserable failure that he is, "reigns supreme."

OK, what gives? 10 minutes ago it was Moore, now it seems to be back to Bush?

[Johnny_Cipher]

Sorry, but the DUmmies must have pushed Bush's bio back up to the first spot. Its not working here.

really "fat gasbag" usually works for me too.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Guaranteed it was Moore, just 10 minutes ago. I tried it several times, and it was Moore every time.

Hmm... obviously there's a war going on here! Or, at least, Google's system is not stable. Possibly drawing from multiple databases.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Much better!

Let's keep doing our part.

If you put "Miserable Failure" in quotation marks and hit "I'm feeling lucky" it goes to Michael Moore's homepage, but if it's not in quotation marks, it will go to Bush's bio

[Madame Dufarge]

think it's an act in futility because everybody knows that the computer geeks don't like Bush

What makes you say that?

[demlosers]

I think we whould change our tag line to reflect Moore's homepage to.

http://www.michaelmoore.com/index_real.php

Miserable Failure

[FredWolfe]

Nah, cause then Michael Moore will just change the URL from "index_real.php" to something else. and probably make "index_real.php" redirect people to Bush's biography.

[demlosers]

Yeah, your right. He's onto this game by making surfers see a page about Bush before his homepage. I guess we still get to link his name/URL as a loser.
