Did MM do this on purpose? (Re: The "miserable failure" google hack)
Google seems to be alternating -- when you type miserable failure you sometimes get *, and sometimes get Michael Moore (the RW's attempt to counter the blogger hack; occasionally, they come out on top).

Well, take a look at Michael Moore's opening page; I think the miserable failure is even more apparent there.

2. You mean, make sure the hack comes up as * and not MM?
Just outnumber them. Link miserable failure to the Bush Bio site whenever you get a chance.

If, you mean, ensure we don't have more "faces of the fallen" to add to a mosaic, I don't have an answer for that.

10. It's how Google works
I don't know the details, but it apparently looks at the language of the link, and what it links to, when building its list.

4. We don't want to change it...
Look closely at the mosaic-style pic on Michael Moore's page...
It's made up of tiny photos of American service men and women who've died in Iraq. It's titled "War President", and you can find out more about it here: http://amleft.blogspot.com/

If the freepers are responsible for this, maybe they need to look at that pic a little more closely themselves. Those are the brave Americans that Dumbyass couldn't give a rat's ass about...

9. I think repukes did the googlebomb jacking... but MM retaliated
In essense, those 648 and rising dead soldiers are miserable failures. (in the eyes of the inhuman bastards who chose this invasion and occupation.)

Very cold. But we're dealing with a far colder group of people. In a new sort of cold war.

No argument from me on MM's tactics. A pity that the repukes are so degenerate...

12. Apart from themselves, also thanks to a society that's been
engineered to put the needs of the one over the needs of everybody. I hate to sound all star trekkie and such, but the comment is quite accurate.
