Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He really is that stupid.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

No one could have predicted…

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

    WordPress has a whole kit of spam-prevention tools, including one that applies the Blacklist to Trackbacks. It’s way better than MT, and I highly recommend it.

    WP also publishes everything dynamically. So, if MySQL or PHP crashes, so does your website. I’ll take static pages unless I had 24/7 monitoring. I looked into a “rebuild” function for WP, but it appears that I’d be fighting against their conceptual design. Nevertheless I might write something like that.

    As far as deleting spam comments, see Keeping spam under control with MovableType. You’ll need to be able to log into MySQL to use that. I might publish more sample commands at a later date.

    Quick fix when you catch them at it. Rename mt-tb.cgi to something like mt-tb.cgi.txt… then do the blackslist stuff, and rename it back.

    Good.
    No rebuilding, which sucks.

    Well, if anything importatnt crashes, so does your website. IF your MT databases crsh, so does your website. If your MT blacklist isn’t updated & you get mega-spammed, your site crashes.
    Backup, backup, backup and then maintain.

    It’s much better than MT, IMO, if for no other reason than the rebuilding process. But, that’s my opinion, worth what you paid for it. I can see why some would prefer static…..not me.

    If you were running an ISAPI filter on your webserver to deny the traffic patterns you are seeing you’d be greatly helped.
