Aparently someone at Google is using search results to push their own political agenda. I know numerous times people have said that Google does not pick and choose listings to get higher search placement. But how do you explain this....

Go to Google's main page and type "failure" in the search box. Then click the I'm Feeling Lucky button. Where does it take you? Also if you just click the search button the page is the first link on the page.

Well where do you go? How about the Biography of President George W. Bush on the White House website. Hmmm someone is having a little too much fun at google.

It's actually a practice that has been around for a while called "Google Bombing". You can read more about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb
