Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Second rate reporter says what?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The willow is too close to the house.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

In my day, never was longer.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Cole is on a roll !

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Am I the only one who noticed a marked uptick in spam e-mail the past week?

    John,

    I haven’t, but I use Cloudmark’s excellent anti-spam software.

    I have noticed a substantial increase in spam e-mail in the last week. I’m not sure when it began, because I check my e-mail at home three or more times per day, but it’s getting to be a major part of my online time to block out and delete without reading anything that doesn’t come from an invited correspondent. I don’t trust any spam filter to tell the difference. I don’t think the answer is long prison terms or death sentences. This is just spam, not violent assault after all. One is always free to ignore everything. But I would like to find a nonviolent way to discourage this practice. There must be a reward in it for the spammers or they wouldn’t be doing this, so perhaps some way of denying them the reward or making it more expensive to obtain would make a dent. How about a “Spam the Spammer” program to swamp their inboxes with bogus positive responses that require live humans to evaluate and sort through?

    I’ve noticed it for the past few days, even at my gmail account which usually remains immune. Thankfully most of them at least get shunted directly into the “spam” folder.

    My guess is that it’s probably related to the recent Zotob infestations. Zotob mostly attacked computers at large corporate sites, which are valuable to spammers because of the high bandwidth available to them.

    Hello–

    Using a simple AppleScript, I have been forwarding all the spam I receive to my ISP (Earthlink) and it seems to be producing results. Maybe it’s just a concidence, but there’s been a significant REDUCTION in spam over the last couple months. I used to get about 100 spams a day, and lately it’s dropped to around 50 (25 on weekends).

    I am not a paid shill for Earthlink, by the way.
