Comment Spam

May 5th, 2006

OK, I give up - I had to switch to “must be logged in to post” because there were 1748 messages to moderate, and all that I scanned were spam. If you commented legitimately in the last 3 days, I’m sorry, I didn’t have the energy to moderate all of them sanely, I deleted the whole batch. Please make yourself a user ID and repost it.

This bites.

Comment Spammers

April 21st, 2006

I just removed 62 www.magnarx-pill.com spam comments from this blog. The text of the comments was a claim that the pill is the best on the market.

Comment spam is a mark of a scam or a bogus product. I’m a male, and frankly, even if my maleness weren’t as magnificent as it is, there is no way I would risk subjecting it to any product advertized via comment spam.

Yesterday, I removed a number of comments that I suspect were spam. They were compliments, but they didn’t address the articles they commented on and they included links to pharmeceutical-looking URLs. So if you were just being nice and happen to ave a druggy-looking URL, I apologize. Please include something in your comment that lets me know you aren’t just posting at random, some specific reference to the topic, for example.

How to fight terrorists

April 5th, 2006

“Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.” [Karl Rove, NY Times, 6/23/05]

The WTC was bombed while Democrats were in charge and Democrats prepared indictments. The WTC was bombed again while Republicans were in charge and the Republicans went to war. Those responsible for the first attack are sitting out the rest of their lives in a cell, nobody even remembers their names. Osama Bin Laden, on the other hand, is out there recruiting more terrorists every day.

Indictments worked. War failed.

When we are attacked, do you want Republican feel-good hoo-rah or Democratic results?

The Rude Pundit on the Censure attempt

March 15th, 2006

The Rude Pundit
Feingold must be stunned, like a soldier leading his machine gun-toting men into battle who then run screaming away from the rock-throwing enemy.

No, I’m not a cynic.

March 15th, 2006

I am not a cynic. My basic assumption is that almost every politician is a sincere patriot, and that those with whom I disagree simply have a different idea as to how best to serve the country. But under the current administration, I cannot avoid noticing that all the actions make perfect sense if the people involved are 100% corrupt, holding office for no reason but to steal all they can, and no sense whatsoever under any other interpretation.

This, by the way, gives me hope. I’m a capitalist to the core, I have high hopes that greed can save us, if not by bringing down the greedy then by the law of deviation to the mean ensuring that maximizing evil is less profitable than maximizing profit.
