Wow. I think I have to sanitize my computer now.
And my eyeballs and my brain.
I’ll never understand how people have the time and energy to devote to being that batshit crazy and paranoid. If, on top of the various day-to-day details of my life that actually exist, I worried about the devious machinations of Lord Obamax of Muslimar-7 as he infiltrates the United States and mates with our women, I think I’d explode from stress.
Then they went after net neutrality, and again I said nothing…
In the interest of fighting ignorance by way of tireless tiresome picking of nits : this myth has been busted.
ETA : I’m very fun at parties. Call me.
I agree, and I think we’ve reached consensus ad idem on that. I’m wondering if the OP is posting from a state of non compos mentis.
In any event, I’m sure he’d like to plead non est factum at this point. Hey, Don, should the changing of the website be malum in se or malum prohibitum? And would you like to void this thread ab initio?
De minimis non curat lex.
Qvanti canicvla illa in fenestra?
But did the old web page have gold fringe around the edges?
Oh, I just looked at the http://www.justice.gov/ website. Looks like my computer will function for a little while before the trojan in my computer comes back, so let’s see.
First impression: Oh, that’s a nice color scheme. Good use of gold tones. I approve.
A-HA!
It’s very classy. Looks like an official building rather than a flag-covered campaign stop. It’s a matter of presentation style.
If I weren’t sleep-deprived, I might think better of saying this, but hey, I’ve been fighting a moving trojan, so here goes:
Maybe certain groups make gaudy .gov sites for the same reason they spend all their time campaigning. They got into politics through a campaign culture. Thus they think that the government should look like a campaign stop.
Whereas some other persons are primarily interested in government & the law for their own sake, & want .gov sites to express some dignity.
Or it’s that Eric Holder is a career attorney (who was even a judge for five years). Unlike some AG’s.
So, do we have a consensus? That Don123 is a moronic lout, with a head fulla fluff?
How dare you badmouth fluff!
Yup. He should upgrade to bran and pins.
On the other hand, I sincerely wish that I had thought of the seed bank scam. It looks like they buy seeds from the store for 79 cents a packet, bundle them up and resell them to survivalists/teabaggers/Beckists/Freepers for big bucks.
Correction: They are selling heirloom seeds. Which means they paid 95 cents a packet.
Okay. I still wish I’d done it. Taking money from my political opponents for things they believe would be so sweet. Kind of like selling Che T-shirts.
Y’know, you might have just articulated the Ultimate Business Plan. I’m betting you could feed off my mom’s far-right paranoia and latent racism and crotchetiness… and make a bundle. By pandering to her simplistic beliefs ALL THE WHILE MOCKING those beliefs, and she would never know.
Hmmm… I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Glenn Beck beat me to this idea.
That would suggest that Glenn is a secret liberal. I don’t think I could stir up new right wing paranoia, but I certainly could pander to existing right wing paranoia while outrageously overcharging for gold, heirloom vegetables and handguns.
Well, what with the bijural system, I only have to do that *half *the time.
