Go Shockers!!!!!
Will the Knight-Ridder sale of newspapers to McClatchy Co. actually take place? Originally the sale was similar to trading a million dollar dog for a million dollar cat. The price of each is dropping fast. Knight-Ridder is down over 1 % so far today and McClatchy down about 1/2 % so far today. Soon a mongrel dog will be traded for a plain old alley cat. Eagle staff, better get your billfolds out and buy your newspaper.
WORDS TO BLOG BY: “The Truth is out there” The X files Sometimes the truth is WAYYYYY out there. “Trust, but verify” Ronald Reagan
This post was intentionally left blank.
Quote of the Day:
“There is no such thing at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you that dares to write his honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of journalists is to destroy truth; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”John Swinton, Chief of Staff, New York Times, New York Press Club in 1953
V.L.R.B!!—–
Ian I love when you post… I always really enjoy what you have to say…thanks
Rockl, I wonder if that extends to such posts by Ian like “Interracial marriage is far more destructive than gay marriage”, as well as all of the jabs about minorities having lower IQs than caucasians?
I’m going to try and beat the crowds to get a table at Victory…wish me luck!
Whoa Joe you ususally at least put some words up even if ya don’t have anything to say!
Tara,
You forgot to whine about my posts regarding crime, affirmative action, immigration and the “zionists”! rotflmosrfao
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
Which is interesting given Ians posting name. Does anyone know if it is real? If it has any special significance?
As usual, Ian just pulls facts and quotes from his ass:
Variations on the quote below have been misattributed as a response to a toast, by John Swinton, as “the former Chief of Staff at the New York Times”, before the New York Press Club in 1953. However, research reveals that Swinton (1829-1901), after moving to New York, wrote an occasional article for the New York Times and was hired on a regular basis in 1860 as head of the editorial staff. Afterward holding this position throughout the Civil War, he left the paper in 1870 and became active in the labor struggles of the day. He later served eight years in the same position on the New York Sun and later published a weekly labor sheet, John Swinton’s Paper.
Just a question.
Are there any summer programs for gardening for the food bank, or small lots people can rent for community in Wichita?
I just b keepin it real!
Winters Are Good For Your Genes: Lynn Book Finds World Average IQ 90, Declining From North To SouthBy Professor J. Philippe Rushton
“Four years ago, via VDARE.com, I was able to give the first significant publicity to IQ and the Wealth of Nations, the luminous book on IQ and the diverging economic performance of different countries co-authored by Richard Lynn with Tatu Vanhanen. Now Professor Lynn has followed up with another important book, Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis.
Its central finding: the world average IQ is no more than 90, equivalent to the mental age of a white 14-year-old. (Standardized IQ tests are normed to 100, the mental age of the average white 16-year-old.) Lynn also draws attention to the fact that a north-south IQ continuum has evolved, apparently through selection for survival in cold winters. (See the New IQ Map of the World.)
These findings in Lynn’s latest book have profound geopolitical significance. They imply it may simply not be possible to transmit Western-style democratic and economic systems to the populations of Latin America and Moslem North Africa and the Middle East, let alone sub-Saharan Africa. They mean that the world’s long-term problems will stem from its populations’ capabilities—much deeper and more intractable than any “Clash of Civilizations”-style competition between different political concepts.
The implications for immigration are obvious: it can have fundamental, and permanent, consequences…”http://www.vdare.com/rushton/060322_iq.htm
V.L.R.B!!
Well, so much for tinfoil hats. Dead on, JR.
|SARCASM| Ian, thanks for answering my email. |/SARCASM|
Rage,
I didn’t know that was you. You should have included your screen alias as well. I deleted the threatening emails because I didn’t want my wife to see them and become upset. They came from a throw away “hushmail” addy. Is it possible to trace these?
The threats were crude, vulgar and I put no stock in them. If anything, they gave me a good laugh. there are some weird things going on around here though.
V.L.R.B!!
No prob. If you get any more, send them on, if you don’t mind.
Julie, if you put in an appearance, I’d be interesting in know if yours came from “Hushmail” too.
For SUM 1 Upthread…
There are a number of community gardens throughout Wichita. I know there is one in the Hilltop neighborhood and another in South Wichita called the “Garden of Eatin’”
It is by Wells middle school.
That was pretty bad, wasn’t it? :)
The word “como” is not where should plainly be. Should have relied on my own uncertain translation.
Well, this is the 2nd time that happened to me, but it was during the “live” blog before. Doo doo doo doo!
Techs–please fix.
Rage,
I am not a supremacist. I simply believe that racial separation is the key to racial harmony as history shows us. I have no desire to harm, enslave, exploit or rule over non-Whites. All races should live happily and prosperously in their own homogenous nations with fair trade and good relations amongst us all.
When my dad was in med school in Cuba he had an instructor and good friend, an expat Scot by the name of Dr. Ian Stevenson and I as the first born son was named in his honor.
My parents wanted us to be simply, European Americans and all four of us have “Anglo” names. We were also encouraged to speak English only and neither I nor my siblings are close to fluent in Spanish.
V.L.R.B!!
I see. Okay.
Well, that at least answers a question or two from both of you, thanks!
Brian,
Fact-checking Ian is like shooting fish in a barrel, but thanks for your effort.
Former first lady’s donation aids sonKatrina funds earmarked to pay for Neil Bush’s software programBy CYNTHIA LEONOR GARZAMarch 22, 2006, 11:58PM
Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil.
Since then, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight area schools that took in substantial numbers of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Just when you think the Queen Bitch of the Bastard Bush Family can’t go any lower, she proves you wrong.
Real nice.
ProudLib,
I felt the need after reading rockl’s post:
“Ian I love when you post… I always really enjoy what you have to say…thanks”
Neil – wasn’t he the guy with Silverado savings?
Rage,Au moins aliment tellement. Cela correct, Ian ? Et comment l’extrémité pour en haut avec un nom britannique a eu goût d’Ian ? Curieux juste. Non important.
How many translations does it take to wig out an Ian?
Ian,Wenigstens Nahrungsmittel so sehr. Richtiger das, Ian? Und wie hat das Ende für in oberem Teil mit einem britischen Namen Geschmack von Ian gehabt? Merkwürdig gerecht. Nicht wichtig.
I don’t know JM – how are you making the translations?
George,I put on a tin hat and they just come to me. Really weird. Kinda like what your son does, isn’t it?
Rage, I just gotta try and get one past ya!
Dang, didn’t work.
I talk directly to God – and tell HIM what to do!
Rage, You’re missing the “big one.”
http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0324/dailyUpdate.html
George,Your son is GOD? Damn, even I’m impressed:-)
Well, Ed I occasionally miss a link, and of course I’m not always here.
I would say I’m beside myself, but on this thread I’m front of myself.
Checking it out, Ed.
Rage,The emails I received were frombilblyth25@yahoo.comI changed my email filters so that it can trace emails. I copied the trace stuff and the email itself when I made my PD report.I haven’t responded to the emails -I’m not going to give the poopyhead the satisfaction of a response. I’ve got better things to do with my time.
Holy shit Ed! I haven’t even read it yet. I just saw the headline.
“Neil – wasn’t he the guy with Silverado savings?”
Yes and if he wasn’t a Bush, he’d of ended up in prison.
Also the same Bush who took an annual 6 figure income from the Chinese to do consulting work – which amounted to talking to them briefly on the phone every three months.
Also the Neil Bush who had a spectacular divorce in Houston during GW’s first term. His ex-wife’s attorneys asked him if he thought it unusual that the Chinese government would send him in a new prostitute nightly. He replied to the effect: “Yes I thought it little strange.” They were obviously trying to bribe and curry favor with the Bush family.
Neil makes GW look pretty smart, acutally. He probably does need his mother’s help to get by.
Thank you, ma’am.
I took my kids to The Museum of World Treasures this afternoon. As part of their WWII exhibit they had a “Jap Hunting License” which encouraged the bearer to “kill a Jap a day, the (victory? – sorry can’t remember exactly) way!” It made me wonder the furor that would ensue if we had something similar for today’s military. It was meant for kids-kinda like a cereal prize.I was very impressed with the MWT, had a lot of neat things with very knowlegable docents. My kids had a blast especially in the ancient Egypt section – the mummies were cool. They had mummified cobras that the Cairo Museum has been drooling over.
Ed, you’re doubly right. Went back to your previous PDF link. . .
CruX,
If you are lurking here then please post!!!!
Thanks JR. I’ll find them. I have seeds from last year and extra from this years gardening endeavors that I’d like to try to donate to people who would use them.. Or maybe even make a plot to donate to the food bank. haven’t really decided what I’m going to do with them.
We’re very lucky to have such a fine museum like the Museum of World Treasures.
Ed,
Have you received any threatening emails?
V.L.R.B!!
Are Rom Lewis and Ron Lewis the same dude??
V.L.R.B!!
Don,
From past posts, I gather Ian is a Cuban-American who somehow sees his “white” race as superior to those who ain’t.
Por lo menos pienso tan. ¿Eso correcto, Ian? ¿Y cómo el extremo para arriba con un nombre británico tuvo gusto de Ian? Curioso justo. No importante.
I wanna play.

Well coach, it looks like another “wild cherry mudslide day.”
“There was no connection, I repeat, no connection between Saddam and El Quaeda”- various leftwing know-it-alls.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/012/024eyieu.asp
Umm, Heckler,
Al-Quaeda is not even mentioned in the article you cite. People with very different backgrounds can be interested in the same sorts of things. We train snipers and assassins, Syrians train them, Chinese train them too. That doesn’t put us all in bed together.
Iraq obviously felt its own need for trained terrorists. They certainly proved in the Iran/Iraq war that they’d use them and Saddam even paid families of suicide bombers against Israel. That does not mean that mean he was training them for al-Quaeda.
This information was discussed on a different thread. Clearly, what is described, falls short of being evidence of a operational alliance between Osama and Saddam.
How many Saddam Fedayeen were among the 9/11 hijackers? How many Saddam Fedayeen did we meet up with before we invaded Iraq? The same answer for both questions: Zero.
Heckler–
Saddam was a horrible tyrant, but he was unrepentantly secular with socialist leanings.
The exact type of Arab leader Al Qaeda most loathed.
We did Al Qaeda’s work for them when we took out Saddam Hussein.
You’re forever posting crap from “The Weekly Standard” about how there’s fresh evidence that will soon appear that Saddam DID have WMD, that in short order the naysayers will have to eat their words about a democratic and stable Iraq, that Saddam went to Niger for uranium and that Saddam had Al Qaeda ties.
How many times do you have to be proven wrong before you quit letting these idiots make an ass out of you?
ProudLib
Read the article. Dissprove its contents. Get real. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid.
Saddam has an extremely large bladder. There was the real; danger that he could have pissed all over the United States.
WMD stands for “Wet Magnitude of Drenching.
No American should ever even consider being pissed all over.
Brainless was right to remove the danger. Hip Hip Hooray for Brainless.
Brian
“Al-Quaeda is not even mentioned in the article you cite.”
Brian you are correct, my bad, had another article in mind, trying to do 3 things at once. Previous articles have detailed documents that linked members of Sadams inner circle to Osama and/or his inner circle.
I’m just laughing at how as these documents come out the mainstream press poopoo’s them and says things like “there is no independent varification of these documents”. But they keep coming, and there’s millions to sift through.
Heckler, No problem,
I know that you are pretty dependable about posting your sources. We may disagree on a few things, but you’ve been courteous and, as i said, you have sources to back up your information.
Heckler,We’re still waiting for that article that “proves” the connection between Saddam Hussein and Al-Quaeda.
Take your time and get it right.
“And it doesn’t harm in these conditions the interest of Muslims to agree with those of the socialists in fighting against the crusaders, even though we believe the socialists are infidels. For the socialists and the rulers have lost their legitimacy a long time ago, and the socialists are infidels regardless of where they are, whether in Baghdad or in Aden. … ” from an Osama bin Laden videotape, excerpted by CNN, February 12, 2003.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/02/11/binladen.excerpts/index.html
I guess it’s easier to posit a connection between the Evildoer of the Month and the last one, rather than acknowledge the obvious:
“A reaction might take place as a result of the US government’s hitting Muslim civilians and executing more than 600,000 Muslim children in Iraq by preventing food and medicine from reaching them. So, the US is responsible for any reaction, because it extended its war against troops to civilians.”
Osama bin LadenCNN interview 1997
“God knows it did not cross our minds to attack the towers but after the situation became unbearable and we witnessed the injustice and tyranny of the American-Israeli alliance against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, I thought about it. And the events that affected me directly were that of 1982 and the events that followed — when America allowed the Israelis to invade Lebanon, helped by the U.S. Sixth Fleet. As I watched the destroyed towers in Lebanon, it occurred to me punish the unjust the same way (and) to destroy towers in America so it could taste some of what we are tasting and to stop killing our children and women.”
Osama bin LadenAdmitting responsibility for attacks on US on September 11, 2001, on videotape shown on Al Jazeera, October 29, 2004
http://www.allgreatquotes.com/osama_binladen_quotes.shtml
I don’t buy his cold-blooded moral equivalence argument (you killed my children, so I’ll kill yours? What a f—head!) but he has a point.
Rage
What’s your Point?
Osama was mad because the US was trying to help keep a bunch of fanatics from wiping Israel off the map?
That’s good.
Bin-laden regarded the B’aathist regime as illegimate as other “socialist infidel” governments. There was no love lost between the two.
Bin-laden also clearly accepted responsibility for 9-11. And I expect this arrogant rich kid doesn’t work for other people, let alone Saddam Hussein.
And we should have seen it coming.
“Osama was mad because the US was trying to help keep a bunch of fanatics from wiping Israel off the map?”
You can put it that way. The result is the same.
THE HORSES ARE ON THE TRACK! REPEAT; THE HORSES ARE ON THE TRACK! THAT IS ALL!!!!!!
VIVA LA RAZA BLANCA!!!
So Dee Stuart wants to be a county commissioner. She might want to study the issues a little better. Her comment that the city of Wichita could raise taxes for an arena showed that she does not even know how things work.
First Dee it was a county vote not a city vote for taxes. Second the arena will be owned by the county not the city.
So you may want to do some homework and found out what the details are of an issue before you shoot off your mouth.
Im sorry for posting only today. I have been very busy with my studies. Im surprised that they didn’t make a thread about that Protestant minister’s wife that shot him in the back. No smear tactics were employed by the Left on this subject to my great surprise! Also, a thread about the illegal immigration rallies in L.A. would be a good topic too!
Oh crap! 214 posts on the gay marriage thread!
Gay marraige does draw alot of debate,,,,,,not all or it intelligent. It sure did draw out the fundies. They did not have much to say but I am sure they felt rightoeus in saying it.
Ok I’m here. So you guys wanna tango huh? Well let’s have at it then!
I’ll even let you guys go first, as a sign of common courtesy. =)
Heheheh. He just doesn’t get it, does he?
Okay. Gay is marriage is okay withe me.
OUCH! that hurt.
This is great! Theater of the absurd!
I hate to tell you this, but we didn’t just invite you to join us behind the cafeteria after recess.
Hey, it was you and JR’s idea to bring me here!
well???
Ok, well it’s nearly 3AM and im getting tired.

Webtv is slow.
I’m here now Crusader. wanna do some more blogfarts for a bigger audience?

“THE HORSES ARE ON THE TRACK! REPEAT; THE HORSES ARE ON THE TRACK! THAT IS ALL!!!!!!”
So I eventually noticed, as did several others.
Oops, I’m stepping on the Blogfart thread. Oh well. I just saw Ian’s message, and thought I had an e-mail.
The rest of the evening told me what he meant.
Wow! Rage and his homo erotica jokes. You must have a lot of experience especially with JR! *snort* a couple of turd-burglars you guys are!

blogfart1
Your attempt at jokes are so stupid, you must have the IQ of dead skin.
Every now and then you meet someone whose isgnorance is encyclopedic.
Have you ever noticed that whenever CrusaderX sits behind a keyboard, some idiot starts typing?
CruX,
Are you the Bdawg from hushmail? Does the “B” stand for Bronx???? rotflmosrfao
Cheers and peace to all of God’s creatures!!!!!
And the low-rent award goes to Blogfart.
You know, I never have met anybody from the bronx that I liked. They seem to be all mouth and no brains.
Damn north-east yankee.
JR, Rage,The purple chicken has crossed the road.
JR, Rage,The purple chicken has crossed the road.
Can we please watch the language and the insults??? Sometimes I have kids around when I’m on the blog and I don’t appreciate the language! At least with some movies I have the knowledge beforehand that there is cussing.The yo’ mama jokes were just tasteless.Thank you.
And Blogfart wants to be a lawyer. Lawyers everywhere should be rising up in indignation. He reinforces the bad opinions people have of lawyers in general. Can you imagine a low-life like that in a court room?
Do you suppose his closing argument would start with “YO MOMMA”?
I feel really bad for Blogfart (Crusaderx). He was still calling my mom names long after I had gone to sleep.Looks like close to 30 posts with no response. I guess he can really make a fool of himself,,,,all by himself.
I thought that this story might be of interest to some of the good gents here, not me of course! :)
An article by ScienceDaily announces that overexpressing a certain gene resulted in thicker hair growth in mice, as well as smoother and longer penis!
You heard right… a transgenic mouse designed to grow more hair than other mice has provided University of Southern California researchers with some surprising results, and insight into the development and regulation of growth in epithelial organs that extend beyond skin and hair.
In an upcoming paper in the American Journal of Pathology-now available online-Cheng-Ming Chuong, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and his colleagues describe the creation of a mouse in which a particular gene, called “noggin” is overexpressed in the skin. (Noggin works by suppressing the action of a protein called bone morphogenic protein, or BMP, which has a key role in a number of developmental pathways in mice and humans alike.)http://www.hairlosstalk.com/newsletter/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=231
Cheers and peace to all of God’s creatures.
I’ve met the female equivelant to CruX/Blogfart. She’s an attorney who lives on the West Coast and has managed to make an ass of herself across the entire country, not only electronically, but live and in person as well. It’s nothing more than someone over-compensating for their own self-doubts and low self-esteem. They are their own worst enemy.
Hmmm… Hey, I was just doing what I was told! Don’t hate the playa, guys! If you must know I was “challenged” last night by Rage JR, so if they still want to pick a fight I’ll do my best toaccomodate them. =)
hahahaha!
I asked you once why people from the East are so rude, CrudX. You do a great job keeping that stereotype alive.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaretz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amira_Hass
Wellp… We are who we choose to be, Damoon.
Ed,
Next time you decide to google stories about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, could you do us all a favor and cite from an UNBIASED newspaper by any chance? Lose the Left-wing Haaretz, I suggest you use Maariv as it is comprised mostly of secular centrists and some moderate rightists.
Cheers!
I thought that I would educate some of you good folks about the Spain of my ancestors. Enjoy the site!http://www.galiciaguide.com/Galicias-music.html
Cheers and peace to all of God’s creatures.
White Power!!!
hahahahahaha!!!
Good effing God…did I miss the party? I haven’t heard a yo mamma joke since 6th grade.
Did I tell you all that I have my heart set on law school here? I’m starting to feel pretty darn cocky about my chances…
Tara,You go girl!
Well, Crux is my inspiration. If he can do it, I most certainly can!
It is a general impression that Crusader X was also a poster called Hegel. Hegel at one point claimed to be you Tara. I guess you missed that but it is worthy to tell you that while Hegel was volatile, crude, and posted with invective; no one took on Hegel……..cause we thought for whatever reason that it was you Tara.
Oh, I think people thought Hegel and I were the same person, because after a couple of ridiculous posts by him, I thought I’d be funny and say that Hegel was really me after too many green beers. Then I ended the post with “Shut it, serfs!” It was posted under my own name, of course (I would never be a troll and steal someone else’s handle).
I forget that sarcasm is quite difficult to express in text. My apologies for the mixup. I actually know next to nothing about Russian history (yawn).
JR,They you go with your psycho babble conspiracy theories again. Looks like your number one witness just blew your case against me though!
HAHAHA
I dunno, Hegel could still be you, Crux. But I seriously doubt it. Your writing styles seem to be really different. I’m convinced Hegel was some lurker who decided to stir the pot a bit. I think he was a conservative trying to castigate left-leaning posters by portraying them as communists?It would be akin to a Pat Robertson (or some other nutty wingnut) copycat trying to make people like Hank, Nathan and Outlander look like loons.

My take and the general take I think Tara was that you were doing a thought experiment.
BlogfartX? Let’s not do this again.
It would be nice to have registered posters. So no one can pretend to be another poster without registering a whole new account with new email address. That might cut down on trolls, right?But it might discourage casual readers from posting their thoughts, which would suck. What if we have IP addresses available for tracking? Too big brother?
With most people, anytime you visit a webpage, it logs:
1) The domain/subdomain(s) name/IP you just visited.
2) The IP address of your server (as for what “your server” is, that depends on a number of things), and, if given, the domain name of the backbone provider, along with the subdomain(s) if appropriate.
3) The domain/subdomain(s) name/IP of the next page your visit.
Posting IPs is asking for trouble, but I see no reason why they can’t use the info they already have to register people. That, of course, won’t completely trolls–there are ways around such things.
I agree that registration discourages participation, though. I didn’t post for a long time because I thought I needed to get a typepad account. Didn’t want to mess with it.
By the way, Tara, I believed you at first, but it wasn’t long before if I knew there was NO WAY!!
P.S. I debuted something the other day:
|SARCASM| I think George Bush will go down in history as one of the best presidents we’ve had. |/SARCASM|
Or the short version: |S| |/S|. Based on HTML or word-processing codes, code-geeks have been using this kind of thing on text forums for years. My favorite:

Just a thought.
“Stop” trolls. . .
Man, think getting worse. :-(
Medicare D reality is worse than i expected. Here is a study that shows we’re paying 80% more than the fedederal government negotiates for the VA administration for the same drug. I thought this was supposed to save money?

The drug prices offered here in Southern Maine by the ten leading private insurance plans for the ten prescription drugs with the highest sales are, on average:
• Almost 80 percent higher than the prices the federal government negotiates for the Veterans Administration;
• More than 60 percent higher than what consumers pay in Canadian pharmacies; and
• More than 5 percent higher than what they cost when purchased from a reliable Internet dealer.
Sum1, I never seem to catch you here to tell you I like your posts.
The Medicare D plan is the “big pharma relief act” and secured their profits. It is a HUGE boondoggle that is weighing heavily on local pharmacies.
Big pharma would LOVE to sell you your drugs directly. Little pharmacies are such a PAIN to big pharma.
Ditto on both, Sum. Sometimes too many compliments to go around. :)
Remember the last open thread I complained about perverted emails from a Bill Blyth?? Well Rom Lewis just posted on “Brownback’s Got It Right On Immigration” using that email address of BillBlyth25@yahoo.comGuess I know who the sicko is now!
It pains me to be in agreement with KFG on anything, but I agree compeletely on the drug program.
Don,Are you feeling ok? Coming down with a temperature?:)
Rage, Tara, it’s gotten harder to bactrace people. There’s commercially available software that stops that. I use it myself. My reason is to stop all of the shit you recieve when you visit a website (spam).
XXX,what’s the product and where’s it available?
Julie,It’s called Ghost Surf, and should be available over the net or best buy, or, for those who still believe in free enterprise, wal-mart (LOL)
Quote of the Day:
“I have never seen more Senators express discontent with their jobs … we have been accomplices to doing something terrible and unforgivable to this wonderful country… we have given our children a legacy of bankruptcy. We have defrauded our country to get ourselves elected.”
John Danforth, Republican Senator from Missouri, on April 22, 1992 -
Well, as far a backtracing goes, even without a proxy, you’re not exactly giving away the store when you post anyway. And like I said earlier, “your server” can be a number of things: it can your dynamically-assigned dialup subdomain on a IP pool block; It can be a static IP on the network of your cable provider or WebTV; or it can be the proxy server, as used by various anonymizers. Some basic HTTP info has to transfer, or it doesn’t happen. But when it’s coming from the proxy server–or even multiply chain proxies–tracing back to the source does become a headache.
I reiteritate that with “most people” simple registration (and I emphasize SIMPLE–if it become like a tax hearing, most people will bail!) would work well enough. Like IP itself, it would be a “best effort” approach–not perfection by any means.
The issue of tracing usually doesn’t come up anyway. The bigger one will be one of unique IPs, though random chance doesn’t favor it happening.
“Well Rom Lewis just posted on ‘Brownback’s Got It Right On Immigration’ using that email address of BillBlyth25@yahoo.comGuess I know who the sicko is now!”
He may have seen it posted here, and used it for sickly “humorous” reasons. But Occam’s razor’s says you’re probably right. What a jackass!
It was uncommonly stupid for him to send that note on a fellow Yahoo address. This of course is the same Yahoo that didn’t think twice about outing a Chinese dissident. Does he think they’ll give the slightest f— about him?
Of course, he could have logged onto yahoo.com behind a labryrinth of personal protection (see the discussion above). But the fact he used Yahoo to send that crap to a Yahoo address is anecdotal evidence that he ain’t that bright.
P.S. A have a handle of additional comments.
Julie,The Purple Chicken took a taxi. Repeat: The Purple Chicken took a taxi.
Check your decoder.
Julie, I got my copy of Ghost Surf at CompUSA for about $50. It has several other things you’ll like, a spyware program, a cookie and file cleaner, a history eraser, and some other goodies. At the full security setting, it leaves no trace when you visit a website.
Sweet!
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/27/international/europe/27memo.html?ei=5094&en=1a8220fd45b2aca0&hp=&ex=1143522000&partner=homepage&pagewanted=print
(snip) Without much elaboration, the memo also says the president raised three possible ways of provoking a confrontation. Since they were first reported last month, neither the White House nor the British government has discussed them.
“The U.S. was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in U.N. colours,” the memo says, attributing the idea to Mr. Bush. “If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach.”
It also described the president as saying, “The U.S. might be able to bring out a defector who could give a public presentation about Saddam’s W.M.D,” referring to weapons of mass destruction.
A brief clause in the memo refers to a third possibility, mentioned by Mr. Bush, a proposal to assassinate Saddam Hussein. The memo does not indicate how Mr. Blair responded to the idea.
Aaagh, I copy and pasted the wrong part. Well, you get the idea…
Where the hell is my decoder? Clue me in guys.
Thanks Tara the link. Darwins posted a hint at this yesterday I think.
The sense has always been that bush wanted war with Iraq for whatever reason.
This memo is the proof.
This is way past impeachment. This goes to crimes against peace. And that is a matter for the world court…………which bush has not included the United States in. Now we know why.
Rage,If Rom’s that much of an idiot to use that say that yahoo address is his for sick grins and giggles then he can be charged w/ identity theft ’cause his name’s on the police report now.
No thread for this, so I’ll post it here.
For someone who doesnt gamble, I seem to be throwing out lots of bets lately.
Who wants to bet against me? I say joe wright is resigning to run for office in his retirement. “We’ll see you at the polls” is his favorite comment.
joe, terry, fred and pat, ya know the four horsemen of hate. I wonder what the other three horsemen will say about joe running for office?
ok KFG, before I agree to take the bet – how long does he have to start running – next election? or next 5 years?
Sorry, Julie. Ongoing in-joke. I thought there were enough posts for it to be easy to figure out. My bad.
“Decoder” is email. Generally speaking, a gibberish code-message means you probably have an e-mail from that person.
I answered you, in our words. Not much more to say than I did here, though.

Rage,it’s ok, I figured it out darlin’ but I still think that yellow bellied was better than purple in this instance :)~
Tech staff: I appreciate you screening for bots–I really do–but would you mind getting a program that doesn’t require a night-vision scope to decipher the letters? ;-)
I hate to see how people with vision problems do.
Thank you.
That’s possible KFG.
It’s also possible he has an inflated sense of celebrity from he and fellow hate monger Terry Fox’s radio show. With satellite radio, they get to spew their garbage all over the planet. So maybe he thinks he’s gonna go far and be a big star and carry moonbeams home in a jar.
You don’t need a decoder, JR. You have a bionic chip.
You forgot already?
Oh OK I gotcha Rage. Little behind on my lingo.
True JR. And broadcasting isnt nearly as hard on the knees as, well, you know.
JR,The extremely bored chicken yawned, turned over, and said “You wanna get that?”
Check your bionic chip.
Ok guys, you’re taking far too many liberties with my purple chicken! Now he can only stagger across the road. My God, CruX, what are you doing to that chicken?!?!?
Crux doin’ the funky chicken with a purple chicken? Damn, this I gotta see.
P.S. JR, if you think X really needs it, feel free to use the replicator.
Once again, this newspaper demonstrated its lack of standards, its irresponsibility, and its lack of caring for this community.
Publishing photos of grafitti is an invitation for the vandals to create more. It gives the vandal that got published “street cred”. Any RESPONSIBLE paper in this country does not show grafitti since it just encourages more.
*sigh*.
chickenophiles
Well that’s one take Raptor, and probably true.
But how will people be alerted and vigilant to maybe help get the grafitti stopped and the gangs behind it if no one but the people in the neighborhood knew about it.
Tough call. The Eagle made the correct one.
In a rage,. the purple chicken swore revenge against CrusaderX for his unnatural attentions.
Hey, kfg, I was in Wichita for a short time period, but heard very little about this–Remember when you mentioned a well known guy thought to have placed his son in gay-fixing camp? Was it the same guy who’s resigning from his church?
You could just give me a little wink, or shoot me an email if I’m on the right track.
