I know many readers have tried this already, but if you haven't, check out what happens when you head over to Google, search for "failure," and hit "I'm feeling lucky."

Funny. But that bio has its own humor as well. Missing from the Bush bio is any mention of Iraq, or the fact we're at war. Guess the troops can come home now...

Excellent! I needed a laugh this morning.

It is funny.
Google explains how to achieve the result: "Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases."

Sometimes there's just magic.

Ever hear of the Louisiana Purchase? No refunds.
Seriously, Napolean had LOTS of victories, but then overextended his reach. Good thing we've learned that lesson.

Hilarious...but unfortunate that this man is our President.

not sure if many of you will see this comment given the delay, but at some point today, the G.W. Bush page that used to come up when one tried this humorous exercise now has been replaced by michael moore's homepage. needless to say, it's not as funny, but then again, it is sort of funny that presumably some right wing hacker actually did is responsible.
