Comment spammers, Barack Obama, RFK, and Hillary

May 23rd, 2008 · 6 Comments

Blog comment spammers are the equivalent of the guy you catch masturbating in the car next to you at the stop light and honking his car horn. He’s not not going to get anyone’s attention unless he forces it. I hate that guy and I hate comment spammers just as much.

A cabbie in Monte Carlo

April 22nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

Of best chances

January 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments
