quality, how does that work, page ranking of the word failure in the pages?

**dahamsta** · 09/09/2005, 1:49 PM

See googlebomb. And make sure you link www.dialup-dempsey.com to the words "Noel Dempsey".

never heard of googlebomb before. but i was right its based on page ranking, thought that could be done alright.

that wikipedia is a bit annoying, cos it never gives an exact definition as different people have different definitions of everything.

**dahamsta** · 09/09/2005, 2:02 PM

Course it does, it'a collaborative encylopedia. If you don't like it, change it. And if you want a 100% reliable encyclopedia, use Britannica. But don't look for "googlebomb", because it won't be in there.

**paul_oshea** · 09/09/2005, 2:16 PM

no it doesnt, cos once you feel you have the definition, it goes and gets changed by someone else, it is collabarative alright, but constantly changing.

**dahamsta** · 09/09/2005, 2:32 PM

I think you're missing the point of Wikipedia tbh. It's not for everyone, you should probably stick to more traditional information sources.

Thought this was going to be about the FAI again!

2 things that struck me on GW's bio, a, he's 60 next year! b) his primary degree was in history, yet he still called Greeks 'Greshins'

What's wrong with Grecian?

**Troy.McClure** · 09/09/2005, 5:06 PM

As in "Im going to Greece to meet the Grecians"?

Yes. Grecians as in Greeks as in derived from Graecia Latin for Greece and Graecus Latin for Greek. A legitimate English word. Just like you have both Slovene or Slovenian for a native of Slovenia.

At Yale he was a C student.

In Midland Texas, he was a promoter who lost investors� money in Arbusto Exploration, which came to be known as A-bust-O Exploration.

In Fort Worth at Harken Oil, George W. was a member of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee and a highly paid consultant. When Harkin Oil, a company that had never drilled overseas or offshore, received a lucrative oil concession from the emirate of Bahrain, George W. claimed no involvement. What was he getting paid $120,000 a year plus stock benefits for? Three weeks before Harken Oil stock collapsed, he sold the majority of his holdings. He claimed no insider information.

In Arlington, George W. promoted the taxpayers into building a $190,000,000 stadium for his Texas Ranger baseball team. In summary, George W. walked away with $15,000,000.00 in profits.

It seems to me that it does not matter what is in your CV. IMO, to become US president, all that counts is having enough financial backing to convince enough gullible voters with expensive ad campaigns.

Naw most of that post is information that was circulating by email long before Moore's book came out. I wrote the rest of it myself simply by googling.
