I don't know why but I always get spooked by site meters. I had never noticed that before. Is this DU's doing? Also, Why a link to the chimps web site? Do we really want to promote him like that?

1. I noticed it the other day but........
had NO idea what it was or what it was for and didn't even click on it. The "miserable failure" link to bush is strange. I mean, I know he's a miserable failure so do they have to give us his Biography to prove it? hehe

2. It goes back to Googling
The more links of "miserable failure" that go to the Bush site, the higher it gets rated on Google when Miserable Failure is typed into Google.

3. It's actually pretty funny
If you go to the google search page, type in "miserable failure", and then click the I'm Feeling Lucky button, you go to Bush's page. I personally love it. And I'll bet it pisses right-wingers off that they haven't been able to do anything about it.

4. Also note that "worst president ever"
takes you to the Bush biography. While I don't actually think many people would search for 'miserable failure' (apart from those checking out the Google bomb), there is a chance that schoolchildren, set the task of writing about presidents, might search to see who is considered the 'worst president ever', and be enlightened.
