I recently have had a spate of poker site comment spam all using the same domain: “test.com” as their email origination. I emailed test.com twice to register my displeasure over the spam, and this was the reply:

Anyone with little sophistication can make it appear they are sending e-mail
from one else by using a forged originating address. The one address you
list in your first e-mail (t204test.com) isn’t even registered by our
company. Bottom-line, if someone is forging our name or domain, we can’t
stop it because it’s not going through our servers. Furthermore, you will
see we are not evening profiting from this…

So, there you have it. If test.com were making money off of the spam, then they wouldhave ignored my complaint but since they aren’t making dollahs….. Not only that, but the author of this email has given all ofyou out htere permission to use thier domain w/w/o obsfucation.

test.com is a website that is dedicated toassisting in Lifelong Learning. it seems to me, that they have failed this one big time.

Testers Slip Radioactive Materials Over Borders - New York Times
WASHINGTON, March 27 — Undercover Congressional investigators successfully smuggled into the United States enough radioactive material to make two dirty bombs, even after it set off alarms on radiation detectors installed at border checkpoints, a new report says.

The test, conducted in December by the Government Accountability Office, demonstrated the mixed progress by the Department of Homeland Security, among other federal agencies, in trying to prevent terrorists from smuggling radioactive material into the United States.

Nationally, at a cost so far of about $286 million, about 60 percent of all containerized commercial goods entering the United States by truck or ship and 77 percent of all private cars are now screened for radioactive material.

But flaws in the inspection procedures and limitations with the equipment mean that nuclear materials may still be able to be sent illegally into the country through seaports or land borders, the study found. And because the program for installing radiation detectors is far behind schedule, many border crossing points, including many seaports, still have no detection equipment, the report says.

“We suffer from a massive blind spot in our cargo security measures,” Senator Norm Coleman, Republican of Minnesota, said in a statement that accompanied the report, which will be released Tuesday morning at a Senate hearing.

In the test case, undercover investigators bought a small amount of radioactive material, most likely cesium. Then on Dec. 15, they drove across the border at undisclosed locations from Canada and Mexico, intentionally picking spots where the detection equipment had been installed.

On April 30th, 2006, there will be a Rally To Save Darfur in Washington, D.C. This Rally is being sponsored by American Jewish World Service and will include voices of those who have survived Genocides around the World including HOlocaust surivivors, those who have escaped the Genocides of Kosovo,Cambodia Srebenica, Rwanda and South Africa.

After the Holocaust, a Cry went up from Jews:

NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN

If we truly mean ‘NEVER AGAIN” We must not Turn away from the Genocide of the People of Darfur.

NEVER AGAIN

NEVER AGAIN

Perhaps, we should care about our Fellows the way we care about an abused puppy or kitten. Here in NYC, a kitten or a puppy has a better chance of finding a place to live than the working homeless.

for more information: for organizing materials and the rally

Sudan traffics in human beings. Sudan approves of Slavery for Khristians and Animists. The Janjaweed are Terrorists. Rape in Sudan, as it was in Rwanda, a weapon of Genocide.

Do no do that which is hateful.

New York Daily News - World & National Report - Death threat vs. Ginsburg
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she and former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor have been the targets of death threats by people apparently spurred on by Republican criticism of the high court.
Ginsburg revealed in a speech in South Africa last month that she and O’Connor were threatened a year ago by someone on the Internet who called for the immediate “patriotic” killings of the justices.
Over the past few months, O’Connor has complained that criticism of the courts, mainly by Republicans, has threatened judicial independence.
Ginsburg said the Web threat was apparently prompted by proposals in Congress, filed by Republicans, that tell judges to stop relying on foreign laws or previous court decisions.

Expalin that to me please.

New York Daily News - Politics - Feisty Dem appears to help W’s cause
BY MICHAEL McAULIFF and KENNETH R. BAZINETDAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - President Bush tried to steady his presidency yesterday by urging Americans to support the Iraq war for the long haul, but a bigger boost for a limping White House may have come from a rogue Democrat.

Here, we have a President who diverted funds from the Afghanistan (you remember Afghanistan) campaign and gave it over to the campaign in Iraq, used the Terror alert System for his own ends in violation of the Patriot Act’s Section 802, called the Constitution a “goddm piece of paper, permitted staffers to compromise National Security, feels he is above the Cosntitution and the law, and he feels that this Censure will be GOOD?.
Man, he must have done a few too many lines if he and his handlers feel the censure will boost his (I never look at) poll numbers.

Captors Tortured American, Then Killed Him, Iraq Says - New York Times
By KIRK SEMPLE
Published: March 12, 2006

BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 11 — Tom Fox, the kidnapped American peace worker whose body was found this week, had apparently been tortured by his captors before being shot multiple times in the head and dumped on a trash heap next to a railway line in western Baghdad, an official at the Iraqi Interior Ministry said Saturday.

We torture, so we can say nothing. NOTHING. NOT ONE DAMN THING about how the hostages are treated. May you burn in the Hell of your design, Mr. Bush.

is the “Nightmare in Iraq™”

Khaleej Times Online
Death is the price for speaking out in IraqBY HAIFA ZANGANA 5 March 2006 IN A letter to a friend in Europe, Abdul Razaq al-Naas, a Baghdad university professor in his 50s, grieved for his killed friends and colleagues. His letter concluded: “I wonder who is next!” He was. On January 28 al-Naas drove from his office at Baghdad University. Two cars blocked his, and gunmen opened fire, killing him instantly.

Al-Naas is not the first academic to be killed in the mayhem of the “new Iraq”. Hundreds of academics and scientists have met this fate since the March 2003 invasion. Baghdad universities alone have mourned the killing of over 80 members of staff. The minister of education stated recently that during 2005, 296 members of education staff were killed and 133 wounded.

Yeah, I sure as fucking hell went there. This is her wet dream. American Intellectuals murdered. If only she could get her own death squads…. How her heart (does she have a heart) palpitates as she reads of the Death of Iraq’s civilization with each passing Professor shot down or blown up. How she swoons with the thoughts of mowing down those on University Campuses who dare oppose the Pax Americana…
