No, as I said, tick "I feel lucky". Make sure it's "clueless" with a small c and you use quote marks.
Google searches aren't case sensitive, even if you put quotation marks.

But try not to muss the hair!
You're kidding me? I'm Italian. We know how it's done.

If anyone's in the vicinity, could you be a dear and pop down and throttle him for me?
On my way.

The Bridge to Nowhere thing is repeated every day.

Giovani: At least you're unsettled positively.
And - trust me - there are bigger things to worry about.
I've just decided that your foonote is: posters may be closer than they appear.
are you suggesting that palin might 'shipley' clinton?
I choose not to understand what that means.
Over there, on the other hand ... I worry that there might be a nutjob a heartbeat away from the big job.
Would that be the creationism sheila or the bomb, bomb, bomb Iraq geezer?

Worried about the elction?
Party vote Green.
Nah, I'm still worried. And I'm positively unsettled by the your username - what's with the asterisk? I keep looking for a footnote or disclaimer.

Okay, go ...
To the US if Obama and Key both win? But I like it here.
(When Berlusconi won the 1995 election, the next day the front page of the satirical weekly Cuore consisted entirely of a photo of the editors smiling in front of the Tour Eiffel and the headline: GREETINGS FROM PARIS.)

Perhaps the problem is that, as a gay man, Craig sees Sarah Palin’s commitment to raising children and christianity as a threat to his lifestyle?
I'm not gay, but I find people committed to raising Christianity a serious threat to my lifestyle.

And now these voters want to do it to themselves again, by voting for someone they hadn't heard of two weeks ago, irrespective of her lack of experience and her troubling history in positions of authority.
That's why I was making the Berlusconi comparison yesterday: they like her because she is not a politician, and complaining about her lack of political experience plays into that. It's quite well-balanced, really: with McCain they've got the insider experience, and yet he's a maverick, thirty years spent fighting Washington from the inside (not that I buy that, but it's the narrative); with Palin they've got the life story and the values and the looks and the religion. Plain folk, and folklore. I think the infatuation will simply wear off over time, the more people have time to think, but what do I know? It's more of a hope really.
Perot in 1992 for a while was polling alongside the two main parties, and then it gradually wore off. Then again, it was much further out in the campaign and being the top of his own ticket he couldn't withdraw himself from public scrutiny to the extent that Palin will be able to.
