Has the * crime family bought out Google?

I was just trying to find a 'buy blue' guide, something I've seen mentioned here in the past. I tried Googling 'buy blue' and got no match. Then I tried the string 'corporate political contributions'. This is what I got:

Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.
If the problem persists, please mail error@google.com and mention this error message and the query that caused it.

I guess the only question is, if I respond does it put me on O'Liely's list or Agent Mike's?

2. It came out fine on my Google.

When I googled "Buy blue guide" the site for buyblue.org came up about halfway down the page... after the pages on cars (blue book)... here:

4. Ahhh, I should have realized the correct extension would be .org.

Before I even tried Google I just typed in buyblue.com. Now it makes sense why that didn't work. In all the times I've used Google though, it seemed a little strange that one of my few political queries would be the only one that has ever returned that sort of error message. I'll be removing my TFH now.

6. I Use Metacrawler

I like it better and plus it is older than Google, developed by the UW in 1994. My theory is that its 'spider' has been crawling around the Net longer. http://www.metacrawler.com
