What is this "obvious" that seems to be so un-grasp-able?

  True Marc, though it does blow my mind to see people that just cant grasp
  the obvious.

  While I won't argue the political points on the list (I completely
  disagree with you, in 3 years W has trashed the country, contact me
  off list if you care to discuss), I will argue the technical details
  of Google.

  Note that this is *NOT* a bug in Google, nor is Google making a
  political statement! Someone out there has a ton of web pages with the
  link text "miserable failure" set to
  www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html. A code sample of this is:

  <A HREF="http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html";>miserable
  failure</A>

  Google merely adds this to it's database. If we all got together and
  each linked "rice killer" to scirocco.org Google would point to
  scirocco.org rather then rice.edu. What is more likely is that someone
  created a script that built 100 sites with 10000 pages on each that
  point to whitehouse.gov. Google's search results are getting more
  muddled with folks doing similar Google tricks.

  This is nothing new, I've seen this since mid 2000.

  Another company to Boycott.  Sure is a shame that people and
  businesses don't understand what he's done for us.  Oh well, I guess
  we all bite the hand that feeds us once in a while.

  Go to www.google.com, type in miserable failure without quotes or
  anything and hit the 'i'm feeling lucky' button. Just do it.
