Meta: About those Google ads for Ann Coulter...

I installed Google AdSense a while back to see if I could pay for my webhosting and domain costs. But I was horrified the other day to click on my cartoons page and see that my little Google text ads had merged into a big Ann Coulter ad. I'm assuming that Google thought that because the words "Ann Coulter" were in one of my cartoon captions, my readers might be interested to read her hate-filled screeds. Google also seems to think you folks like John McCain.

Despite my annoyance and inability to target the ads (is there some way to do that?), I think I'll keep them around. I get a little bit of money every time someone clicks on an ad (I'm not allowed to click on my own ads, for obvious reasons). So far I'm making a measly 70 cents a day on average, and there's been a few days where the site actually earned a whole $4. Which means I'm on target to not actually lose money on the site, barely.

Update: Turns out that although I can't specify that I want liberal or progressive ads, I can block ads from specific website. I've just blocked the Ann Coulter ad so hopefully it won't show up again.
