Glitch with Google
PROBLEM:

1. Navigate to the Google home page.
2. Type "failure"
3. Click "I'm feeling Lucky"

The resulting website is www.whitehouse.gov, which of course is now President Obama's site.

I've called the White House, and they don't understand the problem. I've called Google, and they won't deal with the problem.

I've read where they "supposedly" fixed the problem, but it hasn't been rectified.

What are some of our options to de-google-ize the "I Feel Lucky" navigation problem, or better yet, redirect the navigation to Bush's private site?

1. It's not a glitch, just where the search has gone for awhile
There isn't someone at Google who redirects search terms like that. It's not Google's responsibility to shuffle search results, especially when they've been googlebombed like that for years.

If you want to start redirecting it, then start linking the word "failure" to wherever Bush is now, and wait for a few million other people to do so.

Ok, I admit I had porblems recognizing how sick he is, but this pic. does it.

The man is living in la la land for real.

He needs a real Dr


Edited for last time....


Ok, it's gotta be a spoof, right?

I just read this:

".....dedicated to preserving and celebrating the godly legacy of the most honest, peaceful, and intelligent leader in the 6,000 year history of the planet Earth. "


whew...for a minute there, I thought it was a serious site.

8. OK, it's fixed
I believe that the issue had been resolved. Danny Sullivan had spelled the problem out quite nicely.
