Coupla items...

I was driving this morning and heard Rush make a couple of good points.

One, is that no foreigners are or will be managing our ports!

What they are managing are TERMINALS. (Sometimes you hear them referred to as berths. "Company X runs six berths in Los Angeles.") The whole issue sounds much more scary when you say ports, but that's a sloppy misuse of the language.

He also played a clip of Senator Reid Denouncing us turning over our "ports" to a country that boycotts Israel, etc. (Notice how few mentions of security lately.) BUT THEN Rush read from the transcript of what went right before that statement. "Read," because there was no audio available (I'm sure it's pure accident that that part wasn't recorded) of Senator Reid admitting he had no idea who P&O is!

Yeah, abortion protestors should be able to have their property confis-cated, just like families of drug dealers! Are you an idiot, lj?

(The hyphen was necessary because your spam filter thought that the letter before it and the three letters after it spelled a naughty word.)

The "spam filter" seems to be a bit of junk DNA hidden in MT somewhere. Maybe something the programmers started and then abandoned. I've never found any controls for it, or any way to turn it off.

And most dirty words go through OK. But not that one.

lj's right. This is scary. Scary that it made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
