Why Mommy Isn't a Democrat...

Wonker has noticed that the small "AdSense" banner ads we've been trying out for a few months here at HazZzMat have been consistently running an ad for a book of left-wing propaganda entitled "Why Mommy Is a Democrat." Point one, Wonker's mom is NOT a Democrat although she and ex-Marine Dad-Wonker used to be not only Democrats but rabid ones; and Mom-Wonker's dad happened to be a Roosevelt New Dealer, the sheriff of a major Ohio county, and, for years, a Democrat in the Ohio House of Representatives. But, as was the case eventually with Wonker and with Dutch Reagan, we didn't leave the Democrats. They left us.

Which leaves us to wonder...why on such an obviously right-leaning site like HazZzMat does Google's AdSense insist on running Democrat-oriented ads? We never see this on leftwing sites, and I can assure you that Sean Hannity's, Rush Limbaugh's, and Bill O'Reilly's books are never hawked on the Daily Kos. So what gives, Google dudes? Just a little MSM-style subversion come to the Internet?

We've written to Google asking them to cease and desist this stuff. We understand banner ads like these are random. But they aren't very random if this book keeps coming up every time the site is hit. If we don't get a suitable response, the banner goes. Not that it's ever made us a dime.
