The George Bush biography from whitehouse.gov. I guess this is old news to most of you guys, but I thought it was pretty amusing.

2. Speaking of worst president ever....we need to just call him WPE

3. Googling
I have a brother in-law who works at Google. When asked about this, he said it's called "Google Bombing" whereby pranksters manipulate the frequency of visits to a site which is one of the parameters Google uses in ranking its search results. He says they know all about it but are not about to alter their search engine function to avoid such shenanigans. It is pretty funny though.
