Surely this search proves how wacked Google is: "Kerry" and "Policies" has me at #1 for a click through post to an article at the Guardian Unlimited from yesterday morning. I have had under 600 total visits in the last 24 hours. Surely to God I am not the first person to put those two words together. It sure as hell isn't for the brilliant commentary.

Articles
- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

I'm the number one return for "Sidney Crosby" with Google. At least I wrote a bit about him but you'd think maybe a real hockey site would trump me. Now I get dozens of teenage girls who post comments about how cute Sidney is.

I used to be a contender on the Crosby stats based on a 23 September 2003 post but, sadly, could not muster the teeny bop crowd given my open old fart credentials on the front page.

Interesting to note <a href="local/genx40/images/2004/Google Search kerry policies.htm">that I am still at #3</a>. I should have saved the image of being #1 on Google but this looks even less made up...which it isn't...really...

Right now I am #1 for "kerry policies", #1 for "kerry's policies", #7 or so for "john kerry's policies" and #15 or so for "john kerry policies". In April so far, I have only had 30 search string hits for "kerry policies" and 13 for "kerry's policies" which may all come together to tell you how little people on the internet care about the policies of John Kerry - in addition to what a piece of work Google is.

Top ten for all four searches now witht the johns catching up to the non-johns. Do you consider this when developing an investment stragegy?

Oddly enought, you're number 6 for "hockey pool stats".

Good Lord! Who needs lurid spam email "re:" lines when you can let Google do all the work.

It is true. I removed the links to the Kerry policy threads on the Recommended list on my front page and the rankings disappeared. So sad. Me big on Lord Goog for "good beer" now.
