Still curious about search spider. Phil, any idea why it's called a spider?

BTW, I tried to ask the above question in a PM but the form never came up. Anyone else having PM problems? (Forget the jokes; they're running through my mind as I write.)

Martha...it's called a spider because it crawls around the World Wide Web!

"We've served together during a time of war and shared the same determination to succeed. We analysed the enemy the same way and found each other in the same foxhole," Bush told the tabloid.

He added he thought Iraq would "turn out to be a positive legacy for us both".
Bush hails "strong guy" Blair

For President Bush to even imply that he served in time of war and occupied a foxhole is an insult of the first magnitude and a slap in the face to every member, past or present, of the U.S. Military. This man has no shame and no conscience. mad

Bush described Blair as "very articulate" and admitted to coveting his oratory skills.

"I wish I was a better speaker. This guy can really... he can talk!," Bush said.

"We have very different speaking styles, of course. He's much more kind of lofty and eloquent than I am. I tend to be just pretty matter of fact."

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Just a reminder, from the White House:

Quote
Ms. Thomas: I have one follow-up. Are there any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war?

MR. SNOW: Yes, the President. The President is in the war every day.

Ms. Thomas: Come on. That isn't my question.

MR. SNOW: If you ask any President who is a Commander-in-Chief --

Ms. Thomas: On the front lines -- [where ever]

MR. SNOW: The President.

Every day folks. The Commander in Chief is in that foxhole every day. crazy

Hmmmm...that wasn't quite the same hole I figured he kept his head in...perhaps Condi is involved in this story.
