    Actually finding something to legitimatly applaud him for was bloody tough :confused:

    ...a really crap anti-spam law where business interest got put first (again ....*shock* *horror*) by making it virtually meaningless...ie the "opt-out" provision.

    There is a really good story on the USENET where some guy tested it out (I can't remember the keywords to find it).

    He posted the comment to the USENET. Two weeks later Secret Service showed up at his work. They went to the head of the company and then had the head pull in his boss, then pull him. They grilled him in work various questions like when he wanted to make the hit, how, more details on the stunt he pulled. Other personal questions.

    They then drove him home and searched his house and questioned him some more. After that they said he would be kept on file but no charges pressed.

    Just an aside in the day and age of the dept homeland security.

    Mark Thomas offered his weekly salary as a columist with the new statesman for someone to take out Bush using a paper maché weapon fashioned from enron shares.

    His wife freaked pointing out they were taking a US holiday in a few weeks time, so he consulted a US solicitor (or law-yer to use the local venacular) when he explained the situation the lawyer said the problem would arise once he entered US soil. He could face six years in prision.

    So for those of you making these threats on a trackable IP (ie work) its about as clever as ticking the "are you a terrorist?" boxes in the form on the plane, or as my sister did carry a bag with the slogan "bomb" written on it (true story eight hours in heathrow and one controlled explosion later she got on her plane.) You may end up with one long conversation with immirigration and a flight home at the end of it to look forward to.

    Thats the thing she really wasn't trying to piss anyone off, she just had a bag which was done in an old TWA style only with the word "bomb"

    Christ I'm off to catch some burglars you can spot em a mile off with their stripey top eye mask and the bag with "swag" written on it.

    They presumably felt she was trying to have a laugh at their expense so they had one at hers.

    Anyway back on topic. Nice thing to say about Bush. Well he won the election despite looking like a monkey.

    He's no quitter :

    Peter Griffin: Did George W. Bush quit even after losing the popular vote? No! Did he quit after losing millions of dollars of his father's money in failed oil companies? No! Did he quit after knocking that girl up? No! Did he quit after he got that DUI? No! Did he quit after he got busted for drunk and disorderly conduct at a football game? No! Did he quit...
    Joe Swanson : I get the message, Peter.
