I hear it works with the "er" version of the word as well.

Kudos to Google

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Google has been criticized in the past, for not commemorating certain US patriotic holidays in their Google Doodle logo at their search engine.

But, I was pleasantly surprised to hear on this AM's Fox News Sunday, that Google has contributed $250,000 to Morrill Worcester's “Wreaths Across America” which honors our nation’s veterans by placing wreaths on the graves at Arlington National Cemetery.

Credit where credit is due. Good on you, Google!

Google Maps Can't Find Lincoln Memorial With Both Hands

In an unusual circumstance for a company that purports accuracy down to street numbers, Google Maps, for inquiries on the Lincoln Memorial have been directing people to a map to the FDR Memorial, about a half a mile away. This has reportedly been happening for the last two days. From PC World:

According to the Geographic Travels blog, this "misplacement" has been happening for about two days now. Typing "Lincoln Memorial" into the regular Google search bar brings up a number of listings related to the Lincoln Memorial, yet shows a map of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial.

Worse yet, when I Google Mapped "Lincoln Memorial Washington DC", I got two hits...in Kansas!

Hmm. Wonder if the fact that Glenn Beck is holding a rally at the Lincoln Memorial soon might have anything to do with that? It is reminiscent of the Searchlight Tea Party Express rally, where mind numbed Democrat drones (but I repeat myself) tried to direct people away from the event. Think that Google might be trying to mislead any out-of-towners away from the event? Nah. That would be disgusting!

Google autocomplete, "Obama is a"....

by the Left Coast Rebel

Are you familiar with Google's autocomplete function? If not, try this. Go to Google.com. Click on the search bar, slowly type in the word "Obama", then "is" and then the letter "a". What do you see?

Van Helsing thinks that the moonbats at Google may need to "fix the autocomplete function of their reigning search engine."

I take it much more simply - you can't argue with popular search phrases and the market has overwhelmingly spoken!
