Hey!

I think Atrios already has a spam blocker.
Comcast has some spam blocking features I think. Maybe you can have them add them to your blocking list.
What they are doing is illegal. I had this happen once at my business and my small little isp handled it well. He got their ISP to shut them down.
Go shoot him in the head.
Is this anyway to run an airline?
Can you give us any more info about the spam? Is it carrying forged headers? Randomly-generated from addresses?
Any scraps would help.

Good morning, dearest moonbats.
Can we hope the Regime (I'm down wid dat) presents us with no new fresh and daunting hells this weekend?
And fuck Bush, Frist, Delay, Cheney, Wolfowitz...ah, you know the list.
Comcast's spam blocker is for shit as far as I can tell.
Atrios, take the name of the web site in question off your front page. That'll teach 'em.
Perhaps an automatic return could be established whenever you get an offending e-mail. With attachments to slow them down? Probably would slow your upload to zero, however.
cant your isp help you?
I was reading the General yesterday. Someone threathened him in a comment. Another commenter (someone named Pig boy--I think that's right) helped him out. Sounds like that Pig boy has friends in high places. It was in the thread about LGF ware.

I've been waiting for this to happen.
Could you post the complete headers of the email somewhere.
Morning, folks
Hmmm...didn't I read a headline recently that a spam general just got socked with a nine year prison sentence?
Atrios, you might want to complain to your isp and provide them with a sampling of the emails

Bush administration eliminating 19-year-old international terrorism report
By Jonathan S. Landay
Knight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON - The State Department decided to stop publishing an annual report on international terrorism after the government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985, the first year the publication covered.
Several U.S. officials defended the abrupt decision, saying the methodology the National Counterterrorism Center used to generate statistics for the report may have been faulty, such as the inclusion of incidents that may not have been terrorism.
Last year, the number of incidents in 2003 was undercounted, forcing a revision of the report, "Patterns of Global Terrorism."
But other current and former officials charged that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's office ordered "Patterns of Global Terrorism" eliminated several weeks ago because the 2004 statistics raised disturbing questions about the Bush's administration's frequent claims of progress in the war against terrorism.
"Instead of dealing with the facts and dealing with them in an intelligent fashion, they try to hide their facts from the American public," charged Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA analyst and State Department terrorism expert who first disclosed the decision to eliminate the report in The Counterterrorism Blog, an online journal.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., who was among the leading critics of last year's mix-up, reacted angrily to the decision.
"This is the definitive report on the incidence of terrorism around the world. It should be unthinkable that there would be an effort to withhold it - or any of the key data - from the public. The Bush administration should stop playing politics with this critical report."
A senior State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, confirmed that the publication was being eliminated, but said the allegation that it was being done for political reasons was "categorically untrue."
According to Johnson and U.S. intelligence officials familiar with the issue, statistics that the National Counterterrorism Center provided to the State Department reported 625 "significant" terrorist attacks in 2004.
That compared with 175 such incidents in 2003, the highest number in two decades.
The statistics didn't include attacks on American troops in Iraq, which President Bush as recently as Tuesday called "a central front in the war on terror."
The intelligence officials requested anonymity because the information is classified and because, they said, they feared White House retribution. Johnson declined to say how he obtained the figures.
Another U.S. official, who also requested anonymity, said analysts from the counterterrorism center were especially careful in amassing and reviewing the data because of the political turmoil created by last year's errors.
Last June, the administration was forced to issue a revised version of the report for 2003 that showed a higher number of significant terrorist attacks and more than twice the number of fatalities than had been presented in the original report two months earlier.
The snafu was embarrassing for the White House, which had used the original version to bolster President Bush's election-campaign claim that the war in Iraq had advanced the fight against terrorism.
U.S. officials blamed last year's mix-up on bureaucratic mistakes involving the Terrorist Threat Integration Center, the forerunner of the National Counterterrorism Center.
Created last year on the recommendation of the independent commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the center is the government's primary organization for analyzing and integrating all U.S. government intelligence on terrorism.
The State Department published "Patterns of Global Terrorism" under a law that requires it to submit to the House of Representatives and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a country-by-country terrorism assessment by April 30 each year.
A declassified version of the report has been made public since 1986 in the form of a glossy booklet, even though there was no legal requirement to produce one.
The senior State Department official said a report on global terrorism would be sent this year to lawmakers and made available to the public in place of "Patterns of Global Terrorism," but that it wouldn't contain statistical data.
He said that decision was taken because the State Department believed that the National Counterterrorism Center "is now the authoritative government agency for the analysis of global terrorism. We believe that the NCTC should compile and publish the relevant data on that subject."
He didn't answer questions about whether the data would be made available to the public, saying, "We will be consulting (with Congress) ... on who should publish and in what form."
Another U.S. official said Rice's office was leery of the methodology the National Counterterrorism Center used to generate the data for 2004, believing that analysts anxious to avoid a repetition of last year's undercount included incidents that may not have been terrorist attacks.
But the U.S. intelligence officials said Rice's office decided to eliminate "Patterns of Global Terrorism" when the counterterrorism center declined to use alternative methodology that would have reported fewer significant attacks.
The officials said they interpreted Rice's action as an attempt to avoid releasing statistics that would contradict the administration's claims that it's winning the war against terrorism.

Bluto is correct. There were several contacts in the list you were sent for Abuse - you need to send an e-mail to those folks, attaching one of the missives, including the headers, copy your own ISP, and indicate that immediate action is required.
Also go thru your ISP and make them do the same thing - they're wasting electrons processing the crap. 'Report Internet Service Abuse' would be the heading of choice, under 'Security'.
Get your ISP to re-write your e-mail rule to specifically reject this incoming address without seeing it.
And, oh yes - switch to PINE, where you can do all this stuff directly rather than thru the ISP nerds.
I recommend you switch to faradic.net. They forgot to bill me for my e-mail service for three years, but their service is top-notch, they offer command line control and in truth, the boys'd cut off this jerk faster than a bartender would a drunk.
usalone.com is built using Drupal, an open source site builder. One of the lead programmer is Aaron Welch, who looks to have some solid lefty credentials. The open source community is very tight, so if someone is intentionally (or more likely, unintentionally) using their product for nastiness, they'll not only want to know about it, but want to drop the hammer on the abuser. Contact these guys and let them know what's going on.
On the Newshour last night Shields and Brooks agreed that Frist has painted himself into a corner with the nuclear option, and pretty much has to follow through or lose the fundies. They also agreed that both sides will lose.
But I don't agree. Not with so many repukes begging the dems to rein in the extremists. And SS privatization. Deader than a doornail after Friday's market close. And who knows what Monday will bring. Hell, they can't even use a red alert to divert attention. One, they did it so much that people just laugh at them now, and two, if there is another attact, it happens firmly on their watch.

I just checked to see where my income tax refund was on-line and guess what?
Instead of being owed $164.00, I owe them $121.20!
Seems I am no longer to be considered head of household, but single.
Well, they are going to wait for their blood money.
Nice, huh? So I'm out $151.20, including the $30 I paid to have it done.
I only claim myself so how much more can I do?
This creep in the White House is really doing a job on working people!

As posted late last night:
I would bet that someone signed you up for one of their lists. The usual abuse groups have no real recent reports on them. The AUP and TOS are pretty open for list spamming and _anyone_ can fill out a form.
First, try and have your name removed via the opt-out option on the usalone.com site.
Can you post the email headers? If it's really a malice issue, I would sign that guy up for pr0n email somewhere since your email will probably be circualted to other lists, etc.. (That's _if_ it's real malice.)
...I guess I'm kidding about that.
I don't think it's malice - Just some dude who's getting what he wanted. Free advertising. When you linked to his page, you gave him a better ranking with at least google. just write the domainname, not the www or the http://
sorry to hear about atrios's problems. it won't keep me from enjoying my coffee and car talk though.
Several U.S. officials defended the abrupt decision, saying the methodology the National Counterterrorism Center used to generate statistics for the report may have been faulty, such as the inclusion of incidents that may not have been terrorism.
Huh? It ain't like there's a lot of gray in determining whether or not an incident in question is an act of terror or not. It is or it isn't.
I might as well not have wasted my time with the above paragraph. The repukes have been doing this for years. Their programs ain't working? Change the rules to either hide that fact (stop the report) or remove the offending data from the final tally, as example of which occurred back in the Reegun admin when energy prices were removed from the cost of living figures because the addition of the data didn't tell the story that the repukes wanted to tell.
And on and on ad nauseum.
The best way to get back at this guy would be to hit him where his business operates. I haven't had the chance to deal with that 400+ comment thread, so if this has already been suggested, I apologize in advance for any repetition.
First off, you want to send emails to abuse@bhsg.net (or michael@bhsg.net) as this appears to be his webhost. I would then send an email to abuse@godaddy.com (his domain registrar) notifying them that he is using a domain being hosted by them (thepen.us) as a basis for launching spam. It also wouldn't hurt to notify abuse@abac.com and abuse@aplus.net to the same things. In each of these emails, include (if you can) a sample of the spam he's sending you, an estimate of how much has been sent to you thus far, his name and address and any other information you haven't mentioned here.
I would suggest something simple: "A user who appears to be on your domain (or server) is abusing his privileges and has been sending me large quantities of unsolicited commercial email. Please look in to this matter as soon as possible."
Be as nice as possible and avoid vague threats in the first email, that's what subsequent emails are for if no response is given.
I have already sent a formal abuse notification to the following emails with my signature from the University where I work in security, I hope this helps.

Don't use an opt out link, unless you have reason to believe the company is legit. Most opt out links are merely used to confirm your email address.
The only real way to stop it is to report the abuse to their isp, and your isp and try to get the emails blocked.
Beyond that, you could set up a return mailer to spam the source addresses.

MARK SHIELDS: That's their nuclear retaliation.
JIM LEHRER: How can they do that?
MARK SHIELDS: That's their mutually assured destruction because then all you need is 40 votes to stop debate on the threat of 41 votes. We don't have real filibusters anymore. When I came to Washington, they had real filibusters. You had to hold the floor. You had to --

MARK SHIELDS: I think in 1995 we saw this when the Republicans had a showdown with Bill Clinton over the close of the federal government. And they never came -- Newt Gingrich never recovered from it.
I second the recommendation for Qurb. We used it at work for highly spammed people until we got Brightmail for the whole company.
They have a free trial for 30 days that I've found doesn't actually expire. Their product is so good and reasonably priced that it's worth the money.

Well, the proper answer to that would have been, "We have dealt. In fact, dems have confirmed this many of Bush's nominees. We are opposed to 6. That is more than a fair deal."
Fuck these people.

Bull and bear markets can be either cyclical or secular. Cyclical markets are the short-term trends that happen within the long-term secular market.
So what we have had since October of 2002 --a cyclical bull in an otherwise secular bear market.

forward his email to "free porn email" sites and his phone number to telemarketing companies.

That should occupy him for a while.

The perils of being TOO well-known.
Can't Comcast help you out?
"The Wireless 411 service would be strictly "opt-in" — that is, wireless customers will be included in the directory only if they specifically request to be added. The phone numbers of wireless customers who do nothing will not be included, those who choose to be listed can have their numbers removed from the directory if they change their minds, and there is no charge for requesting to be included or choosing not to be included."
Snopes is your friend.
But who trusts the cellphone companies? Hardly anyone. People have been using the Do Not Call site a lot. Scroll down to the bottom of the Snopes page linked above to see this:
"Update: Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular Corp. have always been opposed to the proposed cell phone directory, and initial partners Sprint Corp. and Alltel Corp. have since pulled away from the project due to concerns about bad publicity and possible new government regulations. So, as of January 2005, even if the cell phone directory database is compiled as planned, at least 45% of U.S. cell phone numbers won't be included. "
Cool.
Any of you Philadaphians know anything about Glenn Beck?
MegaDildoes, WGG / HD! I rather listen to the hiss between stations. At least, some of the hiss is the Voice o' God. Leftovers from the Big Bang.
Oh, and I recommend the Newark Museum and the Museum of American Folk Art in New York. If looking at their quilts doesn't inspire you, nothing will.
QL -- The Gee's Bend quilts blow me away. You might try them for inspiration. The only quilting I've done in my life is one for my sister, hand-sewn in bed to keep warm one winter when my husband and I couldn't afford the heating bills and a patch with my consciousness-raising group for the Judy Chicago quilt back in the day . . .
I would have to hear more about the exact fact pattern that you are encountering. But from what you tell me you should consider filing a private right of action under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act 18 U.S.C. 1030, specifically subsection (g). If you want some pro bono advice on it contact me. Go to my website if you want to learn more about who I am.
I know at least part of what happened with the spam. At least for my part it is a result of well intentioned stupidity (my own included) and not ill intent. And for my part I apologize.
The spamming agency is the Peoples Email Network (PEN). This is one of several extremely useful liberal-left services that enable us to mail our representatives in congress easily and in a targeted way. I'm not affiliated with them save that I have donated to them and used their services to, for example, put pressure on Congress to reject the Bolton nomination.
Friday nite I received one of the usual opt-in messages from PEN asking to send the liberal/left media a mailing indicating PEN's willingness and utility in opposing the Bolton nomination.
Now I should know better. I'm in the computer biz, after all. But it was late at night, I was tired, and frankly stupid. I didn't envision the impact of a deluge of messages indistinguishable from spam on sites that, despite their high profile, are run on a shoestring.
Only in the morning when I awoke to my hate mail did I realize what PEN had done and I had contributed to.
I have no reason to believe that PEN acted out of any motives other than a desire to help and a misplaced desire to be noticed. For my part I wanted to be helpful and obviously achieved the opposite.
Please consider this in your responses. During Cointelpro one of the favorite tactics of our opposition was to divide us on spurious issues. I haven't forgotten.
My work schedule is through the ceiling, but if Atrios, Kos or others would like pro-bono services to help repair the damange and prevent recurrences I'll help as I can. My experience is mainly in linux-based enterprise systems.

Any of you Philadaphians know anything about Glenn Beck?
MegaDildoes, WGG / HD! I rather listen to the hiss between stations. At least, some of the hiss is the Voice o' God. Leftovers from the Big Bang.

I'm not a Philadelphian, but I did hear Glenn Beck occasionally in the Tampa Bay area.
He's a bloviating, goatskin-bag of rightwing pig vomit, who makes Rush sound like Noam Chompsky.
Does that help?
so it was robin!
Well, the proper answer to that would have been, "We have dealt. In fact, dems have confirmed this many of Bush's nominees. We are opposed to 6. That is more than a fair deal."
Fuck these people.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yeah!
overly enthusiastic cavorting with Arthur?
He knocked me down! He ran right into the back of my knee and knocked me down! Then he just grumbled 'cause I didn't give him a cookie.
Atrios,
Without more info, it's hard to tell you how to proceed. There's only one spam report for usalone.com that I can find in news.admin.net-abuse.sightings, which suggests this is not a regular spammer. This may be a joe-job, meaning someone is spamming in their name to get them in trouble. Without more info about the spams, it's impossible to tell.
You didn't say if all the spams are coming from the same place. If they are, it's pretty easy to block. If not, it gets a bit harder, but far from impossible.
Hold on, things got a bit weirder. The domain www.usalone.com is hosted by Covad, and your best bet is to complain to abuse-isp (at) covad.com. The domain is purportedly owned by a guy that lives in California. However, email for usalone.com is handled by mx0.usalone.com which is hosted in China.
That's pretty damn fishy. So much crap flows out of China, I don't understand why emails originating from there aren't universally blocked, unless you happen to know someone from China. Chinese admins are notoriously spam-tolerant and network-abuse-tolerant in general.
As for how you can stem the tide, assuming you're using Windows, I can't recommend SpamPal enough. You still have to download the emails, but it will sort through them and tag them as spam according to criteria you specify. Country of origin, whether they're on various blocklists, etc. It's extremely configurable.
Good luck. Someone is very mad at you, so you know you must be doing something right.
Can't Comcast help you out?

if he's in Philly, mebbe he could meet Mr. Slugger later this summer?

Forgive me if this is naive, but, if the emails haven't stopped, why don't you just call him up and ask him to put a stop to it? Or have you done that already?
cs-you're right, I've seen a lot of quilts, but the Gee's Bend exhibit I saw totally blew me away.
Noam Chompsky?
Did I really type that? I guess I did. hahahahaha!
I guess I'll have to chew on that to figure out how it happened.
The Army told this poor soldiers widow that he died from cardiac arrest. He was 20 years old.
His buddies in Iraq called her and told her the vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade, so she knew they were lying.

Atrios,
I'd just change the email address, if possible, if I were you.
My sister listens to Glenn Beck, who, like Neil Boortz, claims to be a libertarian, while endorsinng every Big Brother innovation from the Busheviks.
When the right wing began pushing the Scchiavo case a few years ago, Beck did this daily routine on how he was starving his sick dog Bobo. Utterly tedious, but he saved up the angry calls from people enraged by his cruelty.
Then he sprung the big "surprise." Bobo was fictitious. But if it's outrageous to starve a sick dog, isn't it more outra---ZZZZZzzzz
My sister still found this crap effective after I explained the false analogy.
what gets me about these nazi talk show types is that they are on for 3 or 4 hours every single day. i don't even want to listen to someone interesting for 3 or 4 hours at a stretch. especially every single day. i listen to terry gross sometimes. she is pretty good if she has an interesting guest. she's on for an hour a day. that's long enough.
The Army originally told his widow, Kira Lopez, on Tuesday her husband died of cardiac arrest.
well, when it gets blown plumb apart, the heart does tend to succumb to 'arrest.'
just sayin...
.
Pie, exactly. There have been so many goofy emails with bogus info that checking Snopes or Hoaxbusters is an automatic response now.
Toc - well, when you die, your heart stops beating, i.e. goes into "cardiac arrest". So technically, they're telling the truth, see?
Frankly, it's refreshing to see that they even bother with trying to technically tell the truth. It's such a radical departure from their usual M.O. of just pulling it out of their asses wholecloth.
Go walk the beach at East Matunik!

Friends are actually taking me to the beach now. Don't know which one, I'll see if they're close to East Matunik. It's a beautiful day here.
TOW, I'll have to remember to do that in the future. Frankly, nothing surprises me anymore. That's a large part of the problem. 
it's like when celebrities die, i guess. they always die of "heart failure". john belushi, liberace, elvis, river phoenix. reported cause of death is always heart failure. unless they do a kurt cobain/hst kind of thing, that's what they die of.

I just got finished putting together a queen sized Irish Chain quilt for a dear friend of over thirty years. When it was complete, I called her and said "Never fucking again!"
Piecing is fun. The actual quilting is a pain, for me. Some people prefer the quilting. There are professionals who will do it for around a hundred dollars. Check out some magazines or your local quilt store.

NO ONE except, perhaps, the higher-ups is well-protected over there. Geez.

re: the judges & the 'nuclear' option- seems I read a while back the Senate has confirmed a higher % of Bush's nominees than they did Clinton's. Suhprazz!

B: "okay, modo- deal"
D: "You can't call me modo."
To all the quilting commenters -- I hadn't visited Richard's Gee's Bend post since I left a comment there when he first published it. Now I see there are many moving comments there, too, including one from a Gee's Bend quilter. If you're in need of spiritual sustenence, visit and drink some in.

I saw the Gee's Bend show when it was here in NYC. Fantabulous. What I especially liked was the unpretentiousness of the quilters. They made the quilts to keep warm. They weren't claiming to be great artists, just wonderful, thrifty craftspeople.

You need to find a bounty hunter and put him on the trail of this guy. The bounty hunter will beg off anything more than locating him, at which point you have him handed over to Guido and Vito (or another crew of your choosing) and have him knee-capped. $10,000 will accomplish all this and for that sum discretion is assured. Have them put a note in his pocket for the emergency room workers to find. It will promise the same treatment for several of his friends and relatives should he persist.

You can block all mail from just that domain through Outlook Express:

If there is a keyword or name that probably wouldn't be found in a legit e-mail in the "To" or "Subject Line", it can allow you to automatically delete the e-mail, through not blocking it.

Thanks for the info. In the process of registering my cell phone numbers I received the e mail that states: Troubleshooting: If you don't get a "Registration Complete" message after clicking on the link, or the link does not work, use your "cut" and "paste" functions to insert the entire link in the email into the "Address" line on your Web browser. Cut and paste the entire link - it's long. Do not re-type it.
When I cut and paste the web address in, I get a web page that says: This page cannot be displayed.
The e mail message does not provide a contact, it says:
Please do not reply to this message as it is from an unattended mailbox. Any replies to this email will not be responded to or forwarded. This service is used for outgoing emails only and cannot respond to inquiries.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Atrios isn't posting much, is he? Pity, but now we all have a new excuse next time we're late for something or goofing off: "I was dealing with a spam emergency."

without headers to help i'd say a pc has been turned zombie and the referenced site may or may not have anything to do with the email.

Well, the proper answer to that would have been, "We have dealt. In fact, dems have confirmed this many of Bush's nominees. We are opposed to 6. That is more than a fair deal."
I read in a Sunstein article that BUSH II has had more judges appointed and confirmed than anyone since Jimmy Carter.
Furthermore, it's the height of hypocrisy for Republicans to whine about the judiciary when Clinton's nominees couldn't even get a fair hearing from the judiciary committee (like, they didn't get a hearing AT ALL) under Orrin Hatch.

Have all the mails the same content?
Do they originate from the same server?

TJ -- That is a fascinating and alarming editorial. Making the argument that unwanted pregnancies contributed crime reduction leads of necessity to the next question about abortion: Who decides? We have the religious-right pushing "culture of life" agenda that claims it is a program for inserting the state into "life end" issues but is actually one to control women's reproductive choice. We focus a lot on the choice to not be pregnant, but who doesn't think this opens the door to giving the state the power to decide who should not be pregnant, too?
re: Glenn Beck
He used to have a pretty funny show, seemed like he wanted to be Phil Hendrie, I listened to him. Then after March 2002 he decided he'd rather be Sean Hannity. The funny abandoned ship immediately (just like it did for Dennis Miller) and I stopped listening to him (just like I did for Dennis Miller.)
The Funny is a jealous master and knows when you choose to serve another before it. Just listen to Lenny Bruce's last period "material" for an archetypal case.
As long as we're talking about email mysteries, I wish someone could tell me how it is that I get emails bounced back to me regularly that were sent from my msn addy, but not by me.
How is that possible?
Tena - someone has spoofed your email.
Happens to me, too.
Jennifer - somebody else was saying awhile back that that had happened to her, too.
Do they pick up my addy from my comments and use it? I haven't been able to figure out how they do it - because I'm kind of functionally illiterate with computers.

"We focus a lot on the choice to not be pregnant, but who doesn't think this opens the door to giving the state the power to decide who should not be pregnant, too?"
CR, this is an argument I've been using for years, and point to the one child policy of China and our own history of sterilizing 'retarded' people and the like.
But even the smart anti-choice people I know refuse to see the danger.
And remember, buying from Walmart and Sam's Club supports a Communist government that forces women to have abortions.
Bush lied to the Fort Hood Troops on April 12 about the Saddam statue toppling while trying to ramp the propaganda story into the same realm of history as the Berlin Wall falling.

Just a thought. Mark Perkel, who hosts Bartcop, has what is proclaimed to be the best spam filtering on the face of the earth. .That may well be true. He also offers free spam filtering for progresive, nonprofit organizations. Judge for yourselves. http://marc.perkel.com/archives/...ves/

Revenge? That dish best served cold? Hmm, what would be appropriate for a spammer? Computer problems of his own, I suppose? Let me see what I can come up with.....
Check out a service called Fastmail.fm - they are Aussie though they relocated their servers to NYC a couple years ago.
Inexpensive, feature-laden and excellent a.v./spam blocking at the server. The crap never makes it to your inbox. I'm trying to think back and cannot recall ever finding anything in my inbox that isn't supposed to be there. I give em A+++++
Didn't someone identify this bozo as living in West Hollywood? Oddly enough, about three doors up from where I used to live. Maybe a note on the door would convince him that our host has a very long and scary arm, and would make him stop.
I mean, I'm just sayin'...

"WGG,
If any of these idiots from the FatherLand ever take you up on your challenge, I wanna be your second.
I haven't used a black-powder pistol in 30 years, but am pretty sure I can refresh my skills quickly if needed.
Plus, there's always the old faithful Louisville Slugger as back up.
NMRed"
Sign me up too!
I'm sick of them and their threats.
Liberals are biased, hate God and freedom, and will never runn things here again. WE are in charge, the adults. GOD is back. FREEDOM is back. LIES are out. The Jews had better remember who crucified our Lord. We do. They'd better know their role.
America Has Freedom
"We"?????
Hahahahahahahahaha!
These trolls think they are part of a team and that Bush Co. really gives a damn about them.
It's a shame America can't have freedom from idiots like Bush and his followers.
You need to know that we, the Heartlanders, are TIRED OF YOU. It is time to cut down the tall trees.

And I will be glad to join you, Woody.
Like I said, I am so sick of these assholes and their threats.....threats they have neither the means nor the stones to back up!
AHS - bring it on, bitch!
I'm having serious problems staying on the main page. Every time I get to the main page, it immediately jumps to a blogads link page. When I try to click back, it goes right to the blogads link page.
The only way I got the main page to stay put for any length of time was to hit "stop" and just freeze everything.
It's very annoying.

gmail has an option where you can take an address and if you get any mail from that person, get the e-mail automatically re-routed to various addresses.
it would be fun if the threatening e-mails they sent you somehow got re-routed to the white house or something of the sort.
without further info though, i can only leave you with those suggestions.
You will become a great philanthropist in your later years.vintage schatz 1000 day german anniversary clock vkfkn[link=http://clearblogs.com/sierra-juenemann/
