'Miserable Failure' has really piqued the media's interest....
I've done interviews with the NY Daily News and ABC News today about this thing.
Between the media requests and the slobbering hate mail, I'm feeling like a popular dude today.
Update: As of 5:30 EST, I've also been interviewed by Newsday and the NY Times. Think I'll take the rest of the day off and shovel my walk. Damn snow...

I think that what you are doing is very immature and disrespectful. You are like a bunch of four year olds who is angry at their older brother and is so angry that they result to childish tempertantrums and rants and raves to try to get even. Growup and take real political action.

Yeah, buy yourself a media conglomerate, hire a bunch of mindless hacks and have them scream and yell about "Liberals" and have them twist the debate to out of context absurdities.
/sarcasm

Hey Eric,
Until the Republicans start reining in their own childish temper-tantrum throwers (Ann Coulter) fuck you and the elephant you rode in on.

Hey, Eric,
Calling 30 million anti-war protestors worldwide a 'focus group' was pretty immature and disrespectful, too.
And as for 'real political action,' how do know what I do or don't do? Are you a Psychic Friend or something?

might i sugguest other google bombs? perhaps "greedy oil-whore" for dick cheneys site, "fascist propaganda" for fox news channels web site. "oxycontin" for rush's, and while we are at it, any google bombs positive or negative would be certainly welcome on my website, id just like it to show up on any google search, whatever the context

I think I'm out of the Google Bomb business for the time being...
Unless I'm not.
Posted by editor @ 12/05/2003 04:41 PM NY
actually, the term "oil whore" in google already has a comment about george bush junior and senior as the #1 result, and a song about bush and blair as the #2 result
on the other hand, limbaugh isnt mentioned untill the 6th page when you type "oxycontin" into google

there is just so much room for abuse though...... yeah, i suppose if we want search engines to not be any less usefull than they already are, we should probobly not go overboard with it. still i think it could have some uses in the up coming election, that along with focused political flashmobs, and some really good demonstrations at the conventions.
the semiotic anarchist in me just wants to see things twisted to new meanings. language is a weapon. by twisting the language to mean new things we can cause them real damage.... after all that is what they have done to words like freedom, liberation, democracy...... besides, fucking things up is just fun

I see how you might feel that way, Eric from IDGOP.com but I beg to differ. I feel it isn't anger at an older brother but fear and loathing of Big Brother.
What real political action would you suggest? Voting in a Florida "election"? Using a Diebold "voting " machine?

dood!!!!

Wow, congrats man. You and your site certainly deserve the attention. And Eric, it's easy to accuse our fair Editor of not taking political action, but I'mc urious what political action YOU take to support your cause (no matter how sad the GOP cause may be). Do you just make snarky comments on liberal blogs?

It looks like the Dean people are pushing Dean under Google Search for "President"
The White House Website is currently first on the Search; Dean is a Fast Fourth!!

Damn, Blah3, you've got to post excerpts and/or transcripts of these interviews.
This used to be a quiet, sleepy, little Blog, now you've hit the Big Time. Soon you'll be off to Hollywood, writing screenplays for vacuous big-budget, f/x-laden movies, making some serious blin-bling, smoking big cigars with Ahnold, spitting on the poor, and turning all Republican.
Will success spoil our beloved Blah3, once the son of simple fisherfolk?

You're doing a great job. Keep up the fight. Lets get that liar and the rest of his thugs out of office in 2004.
And lets free Tommy Chong while were at it.
