Crap mail lacking a Subject Header

[John Esak]

Yes I knew it was the vegena domain/isp thing he was pointing to... It just
amazes me that they feel attacking spam and porn mail can be achieved by
banning such owrds... And breast??? For God's sake.  Gilbert and Sullivan
wouldn't recognize this topsy-turvy place. One can hear anything these days
and it just passes by as "oh another completely idiotic, stupid, or
politically correct thing"...  Some stuff I hear this week about food, from
the UN and Achimnuttyjob, schools, banning of home made cakes and pies being
brought in for shool kids (in the hopes of preventing the millions and
millinos of death due to peanut poisoning in our kindergartens... :-(    I
mean, is there no end to the utter inanity of it all. And oh God, I'm sure
the cow police are going to get me for the misuse of "their" word!  :-)

I vote that we start an OT: weekly thing here. Every Sunday, we each
(whoever wants to that is) post a clearly marked OT: message depicting the
most politically correct stupidity they heard that week... Or the most
annoying piec of garbage taking away our freedoms and liberties.... Of
course I have my slant that most of this comes from the elitist New York and
San Francisco and Boston left (sorry JP, don't know if your left or not...
But ou are elite and in NYC :-))  But, there is a huge amount of nonsense
from the fundamentalist right as well. Not to mention all the tripe from
north, west south and east as well as up and down.  The news is just full of
stuff none of can even believe is happening... From Ms. Lohan being able to
put up $350,000 bail for a drug infraction (with complications). Her not
only being able to put that much money up... But do they even give out those
kinds of bail for rapists and murderers?  

I submit my MOST UNBELIEVABLE thing of the week for today.  Have you heard
Obama decrying the incredible remark that Achminutjob made at the UN. Old
Mock-mood said the US government did 9/11.  Okay, we know he is an asshole.
But Obama actually topped him by saying that what he said was terrible and
horrible... Other words, but you get the idea.  I mean, c'mon!!!!  Obama
didn't utter one sylable of disaproval when the same man said he wants to
wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.  Um, does this hit you as a little
strange?  Well, if it doesn't something is wrong.  One is just a stupid
statement that.  The other is a *threat* backed up by 10 solid years of
building up to having a nuclear bomb and a missile system that can perform
the threat!  Then Obama went on in his speech to say that part of what we
need to do is to stand up for the rights of others... Good God!!!!  This is
the MOST HYPOCRITICAL man on the planet!  He said nothing, NOTHING when that
poor girl was shot directly in the face as the people of Iran tried to stand
up for their rights.  I'm afraid Obama has a long way to go before e could
ever get anyone to trust anything he ever says again.

Okay, that's more than one thing, it's a few ridiculous things... But you
get the idea. 
As long as it's OT: would it bother anyone to share their thoughts here
about the ridiculous things we all hear day by day.  

Incidentally, I do not care if anyone wants to defend Obama and bring up
incredible things others who stand against him say. I'm an equal opportunity
stupid thing observer.  :-)

To some of this stuff, the vegemite tempest is tiny, but they are all in a
similar vein of people not using their conscious, thinking minds.

P.S. And in case you need one more... Can you believe people in Pennsylvania
are syaing there is nowhere to cut anything out of the budget... Yet there
is a line tiem of $10 million dollars allocated for the Arlen Spector
Library!  :-( You see, stupid things everywhere. And although I really
dislike the man, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a library, but $10
million???? Um, let's give him a wing on an existing library for 1
million... How about it... Or maybe a whole website all his own... For no
million!!!  How the hell do people think these things up?
