More scams from Africa
Pop-ups. You know what they are, and you know how to block most of them. But now, a country in Africa has managed to use them to scam you out of mucho dinero.
Jaime thought one of her kids had gotten ahold of the phone and started pushing numbers. But that wasn't the case at all. What actually happened was that pop-up ad automatically reconfigured her computer to dial into an Internet scam.
After that, every time she logged on to her dial up service she was charged nearly $7 a minute.
Make sure your firewalls are in good condition. And get pop-up blockers. Panicware has a free blocker that works decently, although not as good as the version you pay for. (obviously!)

Point, set, match.
Now we have the President's DD214, his honorable discharge, his pay records, his points awards records, and people who saw him at drills in Alabama. Despite not having a shred of credible evidence of any wrongdoing, Bush has provided all of the evidence demanded of him by the people on the left who were and are as virulently anti-military as any group in the US. And now that he has produced all that -- and has ordered the entirety of his military records released for public review -- I want to get an explanation for the following:
1. Why is Terry McAuliffe still the DNC chairman after engaging in slander?
2. Why hasn't John Kerry apologized for equating National Guard service with draft dodging?
3. Why haven't the media apologized for running with a story with a single source, no confirmation, and no proper investigation other than to ask obviously ignorant questions that anyone with any reference to military standards could have explained to them? Failing that, explain the difference between the Bush AWOL allegations and the Kerry infidelity allegations in a way that demonstrates a clear reason why a single unverified source was good enough for publication in one but not the other.
Until we get these issues cleared up, it is obvious to anyone who's followed these stories that the national media has two standards for publishing allegations, and that the Democrats -- whose last successful Presidential candidate admitted to gaming the draft system to avoid service altogether -- will repeat any lie and make up any story to get themselves elected and to destroy anyone's reputation along the way. They've done that repeatedly during the judicial confirmation process, abetted again by the national media, and they're doing it again in the presidential election.
Hat tip to Cold Fury. And I also found a comment that make me snort coffee out my nose in this post, in regards to the Kerry-Intern rumour.
But you have a guy here who wants to be trusted with nukes and tough foreign policy decisions yet he gets around a 20 year-old girl and apparently starts making involuntary humping motions like an unfixed dog at a fire hydrant.
Meanwhile, he's married to a multi-billionnaire, free-wheeling slightly crazy girl with an iron-clad prenup, and knowing he's a public figure, running for Prez, he fucks around.
I don't care how dumb you say Dubya is. Kerry is
Stoooooooooooo-pid. A huuuuuuuge Jackass if this is true.
I'm still chuckling.
UPDATE: Mark Styne, as usual, nails it.
But, if you switch on pretty much any cable news station any time of day, you can find them going on about this "scandal". Their general philosophy is encapsulated by the headline on a recent column in Newsday: "Is Bush A 'Deserter'? It Doesn't Hurt To Ask." And they do. In return, John Kerry, the Democratic Presidential front-runner, portentously declines to comment, adding, "It's not my record that's at issue." This is a not so subtle reminder that, when Bush was doing a bit of dilettante piloting over Texas and Alabama, Kerry was getting shot up in Vietnam.
Actually, that is not strictly true. In the period when Bush was in the National Guard, Kerry was an angry Vietnam veteran protesting with Jane Fonda and accusing his comrades of being drug-addled rapists, torturers, mutilators and murderers committing war crimes on a scale surpassing the Japanese and the Nazis. But that's a mere detail. To the media, the contrast is simple: Kerry = war hero; Bush = something smaller, shiftier. Bill Clinton, of course, is smallest and shiftiest of the lot, but, back in '92, John Kerry stood shoulder to shoulder with his fellow Democrat and said, "We do not need to divide America over who served and how." Now, apparently, we do.
