That is enough to make a person sick.

I'd say lets FReep Google.com

Calm down. It's the anti- Bush blogger's (note singular) fault. The typed that in so many times when linking to Bush's bio, that that's Google reads it now.

Try typing in "Google sucks", and clicking on "I'm feeling lucky."

I wrote google a few days ago about this. They just sent me the following response:

Thank you for your note about our search results.

The particular case you refer to is the result of the dynamic nature of the Internet and Google's reliance on the web's link structure as part of our search calculation. The order and contents of Google search results are completely automated. No one hand picks a particular result for a given search query. Nor does Google ever insert jokes or send messages by changing the order of results. Occasionally, when a particular website is the subject of public attention, other sites begin linking to it. This may elevate its importance as gauged by our ranking software, which assigns a PageRank value based in part on who links to a given page.

Higher ranking in Google results may lead to more awareness, which may lead to more links and so on. One side effect of not using an editorial viewpoint to determine the ranking of results is that anomalies like this occasionally occur. We view such occasions as opportunities for us to learn more about how the web works and how to improve our algorithms for all searches in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to write to us.

Regards,

The Google Team

But Google is where I found this . . .

Just replaced Google with AllTheWeb on my default browser toolbar...

This has been beaten to death. See here. And here. And here.

So there's really no need to get frantic about it.

It probably has nothing to do at all with google. Hits on google are manipulated by folks out there who have broken the code...

Et tu Goggle?

[martin_fierro]

Yawn. Time for a tagline change on your dead thread.

[narses]

That's a paid for response. Google SOLD that. Type "french military victories" in google and hit "I feel lucky".

[BigSkyFreeper]

It's probably the thread originator's blog, and "miserable failure" is in the "keywords" meta tag within the HTML as well as the page itself.
