Most disturbing Google hit on Dreams Into Lightning: Some individual in Sweden was looking for (and I quote) "build your own fuel air explosive".

I'm proud to announce that as of now, Dreams Into Lightning ranks #12 out of 6,750 for the Google query response to Doctorow on Bush, and fifth for the Yahoo query E.L.Doctorow unfeeling president analysis. Those folks would be looking for my October 17 post, The Unfeeling Left.
For those interested in Washington factionalism, a Google search on the query state vs. defense places DiL just fourth out of 40, with the May 6 post State vs. Defense - and the Chalabi charge. I'll be adding that one to the sidebar too.
