So I guess they do have something to hide

After reading a story on News.com this morning about government websites and their use of robots.txt to stay “invisible” from search engines, I wanted to see for myself.

That’s a lot of “Disallow” if I’ve ever seen it.

Speaking of raw excitement, look closely at this official picture of the OPEC — oops, I mean APEC — leaders I saw on the White House’s website. Everyone, including Australia’s PM, John Howard (photo center), has an arm raised high in the air waving at photographer Chris Greenberg. George Bush can be seen at the front right mustering barely enough energy to raise his left arm above his waist. What a loser.
