the shrewdness of apes

now on the scene: wonkette, yet another nick denton financed blog that aims to be for DC and politics what gawker has been for NYC and "real estate porn". marc will love that they've already linked to a story from the fredericksburg paper. i've already got it in my "favorites" section, which unbeknownst to me most people don't even use. huh.

people are using Google in new and creative ways though, bombing it with links that then result in such things as searches for "miserable failure" resulting in the top result being the official white house biography of george w. bush. of course, that's not something that would normally be typed into a search engine, so the whole point is to make it happen just so you can send an e-mail around as some sort of pathetic political statement that will only provoke your enemies into like-minded smallmindedness. stellar.
