Anyway, just as interesting as ranking phrases and words by topic, is checking out the most popular topics overall on the Internet.
Yahoo published the Top-10 searches on its site in 2005. Britney Spears and .50 Cent topped their list last year.
This year, I imagine, “Congressional Page” and “Ted Haggard” will score pretty high—distilling 2006 as the year that GOP hypocrisy came home to roost. I imagine Britney Spears’s vagina” did pretty well too.
User 927 still wins.
AAAAH! Typo hell!

Sarah,
Tell Josh to eat his ass out, and tell him that he's an exception, he Should go back to Rockville. Transplants like him, eh, I won't get into it.
