Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington, D.C., Biden told the Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What [...]

People have accused Google of allowing their political leanings to affect some of their content searches.  Google of course denied the allegations.  But, it was kind of obvious something was amiss.  The reason I yanked Googe AdSense was because no matter what I wrote about Bush, their "unbiased" searches would ALWAYS come up with something [...]
