OMG - Hurry and do this before google fixes it! LOL
Go to Google (http://www.google.com)
2- Type in the word "Failure"
3- Instead of clicking "Google Search," click "I'm Feeling Lucky."
4- Laugh
5- Spread the word before the people at Google "fix" it

Type in "santorum" and see what comes up under "I'm feeling lucky."

It's kick-ass funny!

6. It's been doing this for quite a while now...
We have been google bombing this thing for months, linking from various sites "Miserable Failure" to the bio of W. For this reason, it is the number one item returned for those words.
