Google Sabotaging Individual Online Identity Management Again?

As a follow up to the post covering this WSJ article, I submit the following experiment. Try a name-specific search:
You see that? The URL that contains MY EXACT NAME ... http://Michael.Silverton.Palo-Alto.CA.us/ is somehow virtually eliminated from Google's results. Meanwhile, Yahoo correctly lists it as #1. I patiently await the feeble explanations for Google burying my self-selected individual online identity site -- even with quotations! If not for the blogware hack, Google would have succeeded in intentionally making it impossible for me to differentiate myself, to manage my own identity online. Given this post, I suspect they'll bury the blogware hack, next. Check back in six months to find out for yourself. Google has long since jumped the shark, boys and girls. When will we learn?
