Not very funny to me but it goes to show how the internet can be manipulated.
B comes before C
Everybody knows that groups "lobby" for pecking order on google and other search engines. Since George Bush is everyone's favourite whipping boy, this doesn't surprise me.
I have a whole list of "failures" that google could direct us to. ;-)

Google is almost entirely automated - no one "lobbies" for any positioning. That's what the paid advertising on the side is for.
What is happening is called "google bombing": enough webmasters have created links to Bush's bio with the words "miserable failure" in them, and the constant searching on that raises the ranking. No big conspiracies, just a lot of opinions.
If it's any consulation to the presidents admirers, you'll notice Michael Moore is usually ranked number two in that search. I happen to like Michael Moore ("Roger and Me" is a great movie), but I don't take personal offense at slights towards him. I reject the current American notion that our political parties are something akin to sports teams, and that we have to root for "our side". I root for the country, not the politicans or celeberities.

The Plan!
You gotta love Robin Williams......
Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin
Williams to come up with the perfect
plan. What we need now is for our
UN Ambassador to stand up and
repeat this message.
Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to
argue with this logic!)
"I see a lot of people yelling for peace
but I have not heard of a plan for
peace. So, here's one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys', we will never "interfere" again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of
whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.
4) All future visitors will be tho- roughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attendclasses, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.
6) The US will make a strong effort
to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them are stolen or given
to the army. The people who need
it most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
"The Statue of Liberty is no longer
saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "
THE EXPRESSED OPINIONS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT. It's just darn funny, that's all!.

Robin Williams did not pen that, although he is frequently credited with it. He is not a reactionary.
A good place to check on the validity of stuff you see on the internet is at snopes.com. If nothing else, they are a great place to waste a few hours ;-)

Al Franken on Air America said to google failure three or four weeks ago. Strange that it hasn't been "fixed" yet.
Al Franken
I never liked him much until I caught his program. He is great! I love his co-host Katherine. I remember her when she was on Minnesota Public Radio.

I must get Sat-Radio, all we have here for talk radio is Rush, Dr. Laura, Laura Ingraham (standing up for 'what's right' and laying down for Bill Maher ;-) and the like. It's all madness! I try to listen to get a different perspective, but I can only take so much of the hypocrisy.

Everybody's talkin' at me
Well, I'm as conservative as they come (but not extreme) and those radio shows can get annoying. I can stand Rush but Dr. B***h.. err... Laura. OMG what a B. She's so hateful.
I generally can't stand talk shows. I want MUSIC. Who wants to hear "blah blah blah blah blah" all day long. Can't hear a word they're sayin.
