i’m not a particular fan of the comcast, but i do feel compelled to give high marks to the person responsible for casting the used car salesman that appears in the comcast internet commercials. a most excellent choice. and someday, if i feel motivated, i’ll figure out who that actor is…

ok, not mine, exactly, but i felt like pointing.

i’ve put up a new commercial applications license, effective today.

just a minor upgrade, but i’ve decided that the definition of “blogspam” should be expanded to include people that provide false information, including those using my resources to make it appear as though someone else had posted something.

anyone following the blogspam saga knows that my email address has been spread around guestbooks as a result of my efforts, so i wanted to close that loophole in this space. if you can’t be polite and you can’t be honest about the source of the comments, you can take your comments elsewhere.

unlike some places, dissent is welcome here – even encouraged. but you don’t get to [ab]use my time and resources and hide behind someone else’s name.

the license itself, and any variation of it, are, of course, free to use and modify as defined in the attached creative commons license. in fact, i may have an interesting story about someone who has done just that, only they didn’t quite follow the spirit of the license.

the bush re-election campaign is doing good work converting the “undecided” votes with their hear no dissent, see no dissent, speak no dissent campaign rules.

Family booted over T-shirts [michigan live, august 9, 2004]

“They obviously were searching for us,” said Marvin, 53, also a Dow chemist. “And they came for us.

“I was probably voting for Kerry before. Now I’m 100 percent sure. Maybe I’ll start campaigning for him. Maybe I’ll start fund-raising.”

He said the person who took his wife’s T-shirt told them, “We don’t accept any pro-choice, non-Republican paraphernalia.”

he’s only your president if you’re with him. everyone else can wait outside.

[the meta-roj blog has t-shirts available to anyone that wants to get kicked out of a bush rally – just see the links on the front page]

“Each time I arrive in New York and see the skyline and the exquisite beauty of the Empire State Building, my heart beats a little faster. I like that feeling. I really like it!”
