I just wanna know...


Why does the William Clinton Memorial Library website have Google ads on it???? Is Clinton now so poor that he has to generate funds by earning a fraction of a cent each time that an ad on his site is clicked???? Is any fraction of a cent worth having this ad featured prominently on the site? I'm not really sure that I would want anything about a new girlfriend on my memorial library site, especially with the wife running for the presidency!

The answer, is that it is a spoof site! It's very strange, but if you do a search for "Clinton Memorial Library" at Google.com, the spoof site is the first to pop up. The actual official William J. Clinton Presidential Library doesn't come up anywhere in the first 10 pages of results...it might come up sometime thereafter, but I stopped looking. It would seem that the folks over at the official site need to update their meta-tags to include "Clinton Presidential Library".

So, surfers beware! But to be fair, the fact that the first site is a spoof is almost immediately apparent if one starts reading the content. The first paragraph of standard sized print on the spoof reads
The atomosphere of the Clinton administration from the beginning was generally one of usurpation and departure from constitutional compliance. Bill Clinton began his reign in office cloaked in a exaggerated economic crisis, promising a financially beleaguered populace to bring change to the economy.


Anyway, now we know.
