Bush Store (http://www.georgewbushstore.com/). If you type in Dumb Motherfucker in a search query, a link to the store is the at the top of the query. Amusing. :) Here's the link. http://www.google.com/search?q=dumb+motherfucker. On the site itself, they recognize the tweak and respond with : (Note: If you have arrived at this site through inappropriate references via a search engine, please be assured that we did not utilize this language in our site, our HTML, nor in our internet promotion of this site.

Maybe a politechnal more bitful than I can figure out this one? -Karee Swift ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if it remains intact.
