In the year 2001

Google is celebrating its 10th birthday by activating an index of the internet from almost eight years ago.

This is the laziest kind of blogging, but I am the laziest kind of blogger:

A 2001 search for “John McCain” yielded about 158,000 results, and a search for “Barack Obama” yielded about 670. A search for “Joe Biden” yielded about 3,240.

Sarah Palin did not yet exist:
