A liberal blogger, one of many, writes:

I've changed the target of the link to be something I feel is perhaps a tiny bit more appropriate, in my admittedly personal judgment, but if you read the comments on the original entry, you'll see that the original poster had a spot of trouble with that himself.

Cognoscenti will recognize this as "google-bombing" -- in this case, trying to trick google into returning a particular site as the best reference to a one-word search for "optimism". If successful, this gives the google-bombers a neat joke to share with their friends and fellow true believers, as just about no one else is likely to be impressed, or even amused.

People who don't know what's going on will just assume that liberals are in the habit of posting incoherent babble. But hey, every prank has its price...
