It's OK, James.
I caught a half-dozen hits today from a search engine that some webmaster installed in his site called MENOPAUSE.COM. Apparently, the thing triggered on one of my header lines: "Guaranteed to raise liberal blood pressure".

Funny part is one of them was a repeat visit from the same computer, 8 hours later. (SHrug)
A new readers, a new reader and I'll take em any way I can get 'em.

Deleted scene from Blazing Saddles. "The Sheriff is a n---" "What did he say?" "I think he said, 'the Sherriff is a nagin.'"

This doesn't mean that someone linked to you with that phrase. for one, the search isn't quoted, so it's not a search for a phrase. A search for nagin ray n***er will return the same result. Searching for the phrase "ray nagin is a n***er" (with the quotes) returns no results. The OTB page merely contains the 3 words "ray" and "nagin" and "n***er" and OTB has high Google ranking.

Good lord, who would ever link to your site with that text? That's the only way to get to the top of a Google Search. Anyone remember the Jewgle bomb? Someone did a huge Googlebomb on the word "jew" so that any time anyone searched for it, a anti-semetic hate site would be at the top of the list.

Same situation here apparently.

You do get some pretty bizarre hits from Google at times. I'm kinda partial to the string below.
