Goto the Google home page. Type in the search field: miserable failure

Then click - I'm Feeling Lucky

I just about laughed myself silly.

That was the result of Google bombing. It was an attempt by left-wing bloggers to affect the 2004 presedential election.

Right-wingers retaliated by bombing Michael Moore & JImmy Carter (look at the 2nd & 3rd entries in your results for "miserable failure")

I like Google's approach to the issue, though. You can imagine they were under intense pressure to alter their search results by hand to prevent Google bombing.

My fave Google "trick" is to type in:

french military victories

and use the Feel Lucky button.

Having said that, Google's biggest fault is putting far too much emphasis on blog results. I don't mean from generating link popularity, but just the simple fact that too many search results are littered with blog posts. If I want so specifically search blog posts, I'll check Technorati. When I do a search, I'm looking for solid info, not someone's late night drunken rantings that may have little fact behind them.

On another note, have you ever noticed that some of the most prolific posters to blogs and message boards are left-wingers? Don't get me wrong, I like reading and posting to boards as much as anyone.

But here's a concept for you left wing posters who spend hours and hours a week posting and reading political stuff:

How about you take those (let's say) 15 hours a week and actually get a job? Or get a second job? Or take some training to further your profession? Perhaps a little night school toward a degree to advance your career?

If anything, the term "miserable failure" seems to describe 99% of the left-wing bloggers and message board posters:

They are just always *****ing, whining, and simply miserable. They just took control of the entire Congress and yet they are more miserable and whining louder than ever! How miserable do you have to be to win that much power and still be yapping?

After all these years of complaining about the deficit, I would think they would be hard at work helping Pelosi craft a balanced budget. After all, Newt balanced the budget, so I'm sure Pelosi will do the same.

BTW, whenever I say that, left-wingers say "No, Clinton balaced the budget." To that I say, "take a civics lesson" because only The House can appropriate money. A president can send all the budget proposals to Congress that he wants, but they have nothing binding. I can ask Santa for a Gulfstream Jet if I want. Santa isn't obligated to consider my request.

My message to all the lazy, loser, left-wingers: Try as you might, you aren't going to stop us from being happy, successful, or pursuing career paths we enjoy.

I personally couldn't imagine being as miserable as 99% of the left-wingers, nor as much of a failure at life as many of them are.

Love to post more, but time is money!:

Hey Ted! Welcome back! Haven't heard from you in a while...

Google results are definitely getting cluttered with blogs. Maybe they'll do something about it. I have some suggestions, but they would never listen to me, so I won't waste anyone's time.

I love the newfound political banter in the lounge. As an admin, I'm trying to remain unbiased, so I'll let someone else comment about your take on the lefties. I'm sure it won't be long...........

YEEEEEYYYYEEAHHHHHH

I concur SuperMav......

To be fair ThatguyTed is not a left winger he's something else... a commie LOL j/k

Now thats no fair just because he has a left winger train of thought doesn't make him a commie. I am a very liberal democrat does that make me a commie? Once agian i will say it "Everyones beliefs is what makes this country great." Plus are we forgeting that this country was founded by rich white males who didn't want to pay taxes, didn't want to give people other than rich white males the right to vote, or for that matter every other right granted in the constitution. thatguyted does make some valid points. But the thing is that if your not in the top 5% (income wise) it really doesn't matter cause we can't change crap!

That's not why I called him a commie, I was joking with him because he said in prior threads America should take on a socialism or communist government.

then maybe he is a commie. i was just defending him since he isn't here.

That's really sweet... I was only bustin his balls though

yes i know. but i do share some of his points of view so.

you commie

That's Why "I LOVE THIS COUNTRY"
