Sad, isn't it, that Google has to re-run these Coulter ads so often. I could think of a lot more worthwhile things to advertise, couldn't you?

Not really. Perhaps some ads for Fred Thompson...but Ann will do nicely.

Pramjockey;

You are referring to an expression that had meaning pre-invasion. No more.

Which invasion was that again?

It's in the link.

Don't turn a quip into an off-topic drama, plenty of room in the forum for that.

Nothing the forum administrators can do about it. . .

Yup...but that does beg the question why Ann? She hasn't been in the news much lately so that one kind of leaves me lost...though i think it might be one of those formal association things, they see something conservative, associate a conservative with it and the spiders come up with that.

Yeah it kind of works like that i think but i'm no expert.

I think that miht explain also that if when on google you search up some random word like say "Banana" you get a link to like an auto sales company or something.

I dunno, i guess those who spend hours a day analysing this stuff really what works subliminaly and what doesn't.

Crawlers ARE a pretty interesting thing to study how they work and associate and organize. Neat stuff.
