Yahoo

That's it. I'm boycotting Google.

I just learned from Mike L.'s blog that if you do a Google search on the word "Failure" you get the White House, George W. web page as the first listing. This proves that Google can't be trusted.

So, from now on it's Yahoo for me!

It certainly is rather interesting....perhaps something mis-coded. I tried doing a text search in that biography of Bush, and was unable to find the word "failure," so it certainly seems to be that way on purpose.

It seems like the next search record is a biography of Jimmy Carter....so there must be something on the White House's site....or some intense politics on Google's end.

I didn't notice the Carter reference, so maybe they are at least "equal opportunity" critics of presidents!

I was just glad that I didn't google "failure" and find "Linda D's, housekeeping abilities!"

While I understand your desire to support the president, you might want to rethink patronizing Yahoo.

See the link below:

Yahoo is currently helping the ChiCom's censor their state-run internet and turn in dissidents.

Just a thought.

If you type in failure on google, Michael Moore's official site is the third one down...

You're right. I just tried it. What in the world? Did you notice the second and third listings? Biograpohy of Jimmy Carter and Michael Moore's website. Hmm...Oh, I just realized others have responded the same. Oh, well, I want to respond anyway.
