... in jail." So says Old Man Potter (Lionel Barrymore) to a crazed with joy George Bailey (James Stewart) in It's a Wonderful Life. Mr. Potter is the heavy of the movie and we're supposed to dislike him but the thing is, Lionel Barrymore does such an exemplary job at portraying him in all of his nastiness that I kind of like him. The "jail" line, referring to George Bailey's Savings and Loan customers as a "bunch of garlic eaters" and hanging on to the money even when George Bailey comes to him in a desperate panic, knowing it will destroy Bailey and his family if he loses everything and goes to jail. Jesus, what a bastard! And yet, Mr. Potter makes me smile, that old curmudgeon. Probably because I already know everything turns out fine so I can sit back and enjoy Old Man Potter's bitterness. But a part of it also comes from the fact that at this time of the year I'm pretty much an old bitter curmudgeon myself.
Join me in my bitterness. Specifically, Oscar bitterness.
I wrote last year on this blog of the recent Oscar phenomenon of awarding the lead acting Oscars to impersonations of real life characters and the trend continues. Four of the last six Best Actor winners (Adrian Brody, Jamie Foxx, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Forest Whitaker) and a whopping five of the last six (and seven since 1999) Best Actress winners (Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, Helen Mirren, Marion Cotillard) all portrayed real life characters. That's 9 to 3 in favor of impersonation. And if you don't think this is something new you're wrong. Want to know how many Best Actress winners were for portrayals of real people before 1999 (remember, seven of the last nine have been for portrayals of real people)? If you said "seven" you're right. That's right, in the Oscars handed out before 1999, the same amount were given for impersonation performances for the first seventy one Oscars as for the last nine! It could be argued that it's eight if you count Ingrid Bergman for Anastasia, loosely based on real characters and events. That's how, last year on this blog, I was able to correctly predict in December before any nominations were even out that Marion Cotillard would win Best Actress. I hadn't seen her performance or any of the others yet that would end up getting nominated and it didn't matter. She was playing a real person. I knew she'd win. This year's Best Actress hopefuls don't have any big impersonation performances to get in the way so we'll have a brief respite from it this year. But don't worry because the two front runners for Best Actor are...
Sean Penn and Frank Langella! And who do they play again? Oh yeah, real life politicians Harvey Milk and Richard Nixon. Penn already has an Oscar, Langella's been around for ages without one (or even nomination) and someone has to finally win for playing Nixon right? Right. Go with the even money and the recent impersonation trend of the Oscars. Frank Langella gets the Golden Boy.
So why does all this make me bitter (remember, that's how all of this started)? Not because I think it's easy playing a real life character, in fact, one could argue it's more difficult because you're working against audience expectations of how the character should look and sound. On the other hand, if you get the look and sound just right (Jamie Foxx, Philip Seymour Hoffman) you can fool a lot of people into thinking you just gave a performance. Not that those two actors didn't give a performance, but the look and sound of their characters took precedence over any emotional arcs or deeper reflection. Heath Ledger gave a performance in Brokeback Mountain. He inhabited a character, made him real and filled him with loneliness and pain. Hoffman played Capote. Sorry, that probably sounds snide or flippant, but the two performances don't compare and the fact that the Oscars increasingly looks to see who is doing the best impersonation onscreen annoys me. But what really bothers me about is...
I can't stand biopics! Okay, that's too harsh. There are many I like actually, but on the whole, biopics bore me. I'd bet good money there are plenty of good wholly fictional stories out there in the minds of talented screenwriters that will never see the light of day because come Oscar time the studios want to put their "prestige movie money" into a biopic where everyone can "oooh" and "aah" over how much Charlize Theron looks like Aileen Wuornos! Wow! I mean, she's ugly and everything! So if only for the sake of less biopics, I hope Oscar eases away from this trend sooner rather than later.
I'm still catching up on 2008 releases so a post on Best Picture bitterness will have to wait. We've made it seven years since a biopic last won the top award (A Beautiful Mind, 2001) so we're probably due, which means, being the Oscar completest I am, I will have to see Milk and/or Frost/Nixon and even though I know I'm pre-judging here, I'd rather have my teeth drilled. But I'll do my duty and take them in soon. In fact, I'll go online right now to get my tickets. Hmmm... my teeth do feel a little sensitive right now though. No, no, I'll get the tickets. Hmmm... maybe I'm getting a cavity. Yeah, you know what, first things first. I'm making an appointment for the dentist.

War on Rush Update: NB Publisher Bozell Addresses Hypocrisy In Letters to Quicken Loans, Carbonite Chiefs
Updated at bottom of post | This morning, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell sent letters to Jay Farner and David Friend, the presidents of Quicken Loans and Carbonite, respectively, addressing the hypocrisy of how their companies pulled out of the Rush Limbaugh program over comments for which the conservative talker has since apologized, even as they continue to advertise on the programs of hateful left-wing radio hosts.
For example, Carbonite continues to advertise on Ed Schultz's radio program, although he maliciously slammed conservative author Laura Ingraham in May 2011 as a "right-wing slut" and "a talk slut."
Schultz, you may recall, was briefly suspended from his radio and MSNBC programs, and offered on-air apologies to Ingraham.
In the case of Quicken Loans, the hypocrisy is arguably much, much worse. The company advertises on the Mike Malloy program, the host of which has a long track record of vicious and vile comments not just about conservatives but even ordinary citizens. For example, on Malloy's March 2 program, he seemed to revel in the deaths of tornado victims in the South and Midwest, typically Republican states in presidential contests:
"Their God, if this is the way they want to look at it, keeps smashing them into little grease spots on the pavement, in Alabama, in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia and Oklahoma – you know, the Bible Belt...where they ain't gonna let no g*dd*mn science get in the way, it says in the bible, blah blah blah, so according to their way of thinking, y'know, God with his omnipotent thumb, and so far tonight, has smashed so far 20 people on Highway 12, or whatever the hell highway they live next to."
After the March 1 death of Andrew Breitbart, Malloy seethed with malicious rage, "Roast in hell you son of a bitch Breitbart -- I mean seriously, you thug punk!"
"Breitbart was 43 at his passing and is survived by a wife and four children," Bozell noted in his letter to Farner.
"Perhaps you did not know about Malloy's comments or even your sponsorship of his show. That is entirely possible. But you do now," Bozell noted, adding:
If you continue to exercise an obvious double standard of condoning left-wing hate speech, while caving in to partisan pressure to discontinue sponsoring the Rush Limbaugh Show, we will expose Quicken Loans for hypocrisy.
Mr. Farner, the MRC is committed to defending free speech. You have the constitutional right to sponsor or not sponsor anyone you like. But, if you drop a conservative radio host under the pretense that he made an uncivil comment about a political activist, yet continue to sponsor a leftwing host who relishes in the death of innocent children, we will hold you accountable for that decision.
You can read the letter to Quicken's president Jay Farner here and the letter to Carbonite president David Friend here.
You can also sign our pro-Rush petition at IStandWithRush.org.
[UPDATE: Malloy has issued an apology for his comments about the tornado victims, reading: During my program last Friday night, I commented on the potential for destruction caused by the tornadoes that were moving through the south with historic fury.
First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for the inflammatory language that I used, and for the anger and pain that came as a result of my comments.
Those comments, as published on various blog sites, were lifted out of context from a larger point I was making about the hypocrisy of many political leaders and commentators who refuse to acknowledge science, logic and fact in assessing disasters such as this one.
That said, my language was unnecessarily harsh in light of the lives that would be lost later that evening. I have nothing but the most heartfelt sympathy for those families who were devastated by those tragic storms.
I will say again I am sincerely sorry for the pain and anger my comments evoked. I made a mistake, I was wrong, and I will not let it happen again.]

When I heard Monday about the advertisers leaving, I went to Pro Flowers and erased all my data. (Pro Flowers was another one that pulled their advertising.) There was no link for deleting the account so I emailed them.
In the email, I said "Since your business decision was based on Rush's comments, your decision was not business, it was political. So my business decision is to not do business with you."
I received a canned response of Thank you for your interest... or something like that...lol.

Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Thu, 03/08/2012 - 2:25pm.
and dismiss Limbaugh's show as "Hate Radio". I rarely listen to his show--but enough to think that label is a stretch. However, the left tells the mainstream: he's fringe, off ranting in his own corner of "Hate Radio".
And then they talk about how a man of his influence shouldn't be allowed to call women bad words. I think that it kind of proves that Rush isn't off spouting hateful, vile things every day and that the sense you get from the rhetoric that nothing is below him--he hates black people after all and says racist things every day--has little to back it if the egregious sin for which he needs to leave the air is using a word Bill Maher would think twee while not having the propriety to restrain from punching into the crowd.
All of a sudden Rush is popular and influential and should have restrained himself. Face it, if a guy is a "hate-monger" you DON'T expect decency from him--just like I don't expect it from Maher. So propriety and decency are off the table--it has to be the vileness of it--and again, it doesn't measure up to what other people have said.
Anybody who would pull their add from Rush and remain on Malloy's show isn't being serious.

Anyone have any good alternatives to Carbonite? I'm going to make the change too. It's going to take new a few days because my local backup utility, Norton Ghost, is failing because it looks like my backup harddrive is dying and I don't want to risk any down time because this laptop's harddrive fatally died twice in a little over a year. Ain't technology grand?
Anyway, if Carbonite wants to be consistent then I would stay with them. I don't mean consistent in their treatment of Rush: I mean consistent with their indirect support of that Fluke ditz. I have a right to backup my data therefore someone must pay for it. If Carbonite wants to pay for my data backup I'll continue being their "customer".

HYPOCRITE LIBERAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS - hate speech for thee, but not for me?
On Friday, September 23, 2011 - Bill Maher said this during his HBO show:
"Sarah Palin Would 'F–k' Rick Perry If He Was Black."
This statement is yet another example of Bill Maher's misogyny. Maher has employed terms such as: 'dumb twat', 'bimbos', and 'c u n t' in reference to women leaders including Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Governor Sarah Palin.
Democrat President Barrack Hussein Obama Junior accepted $1,000,000 in campaign contributions from this WOMAN HATER and ignores the DOUBLE STANDARD.

Following the trend of their NBA playoff series thus far, the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers matched each other stride-for-stride in the first half. Heading into the break, the Mavericks hold a two-point advantage after Shawn Marion hit two free throws with under a minute to go.
Dirk Nowitzki led all scorers with 12 points in the first half. Jason Kidd failed to score a point, but dished out eight assists and grabbed four rebounds for the Mavs. Jason Terry was his usual, solid self off the bench, scoring nine first half points and providing a lift in relief, as he has all series. Marion had eight points while Tyson Chandler had a seven points and a team-leading nine rebounds in the half.
Andre Miller led the way with nine points and five assists in the first half. Wesley Matthews, Gerald Wallace and LaMarcus Aldridge each scored six points in the half. Nicolas Batum came off the bench to add nine points, but Brandon Roy struggled after his Herculean performance in Game 4, scoring just two points on 1-5 shooting in the first half.

Select Route:
Toys in the attic follows a nice crack in a deep recess/chimney (capped by a roof) on the west side of The Christian Brothers formation. Start up easy (guano filled) crack on left side of chimney (5.6 at bottom). Going gradually steepens but the rock and crack quality steadily improve. Crack turns into an OW (#4-#4.5 Camalot useful) near the ceiling. At the ceiling, traverse DOWN and left following a finger crack (crux?) for about 20 feet to bolt anchor. Note that the route is scarier to follow than to lead.
Cams from about 1/2 inch to 5 inch (possibly doubles from 1/2-2 inch range). Few mid-sized nuts.

The Giants have added TE Ben Patrick, signing the former Cardinal to a one-year deal. Adam Caplan of FOX Sports first reported the news.
Patrick visited the team on Monday and will likely be the New York's second tight end, assuming a deal can be worked out with free agent Kevin Boss. In four seasons with the Cardinals, Patrick caught 45 passes, including four touchdowns.
The signing does not indicate the team is done with Boss, as negotiations with the free agent are still ongoing.

Quote from: klb55 on April 08, 2007, 05:16:04 AMmany of which are produce that need to be weighedThat's one area where they are smarter than us out here in Asia.  In Asian grocery stores, you have to get your produce weighed in the produce department.  They put it in a bag with a price sticker after weighing.  The Cashier doesn't have to do anything but ring it up.  That system makes alot more sense.

This was our second stay at the Mansion. The first was for our wedding night a few years ago. From what I can see, nothing has suffered in these last few years. The staff at the Mansion are wonderful and available to take care of you, whatever you need. Not sure what you need? Ask the staff and they'll help you out. If you like being pampered, this is the place. The place is stunning; take time to wander the Mansion and look at the woodworking and other details.
The only reason I didn't give the facilities a top rating is because some of the cabinets or other fixtures in the room could use replacement. Just some basic wear and tear that is easily remedied.

Art Feeds raises money to hand out gifts to the kids affected by the Moore, Oklahoma tornado.
The non-profit is asking for donations to buy kids these art packs, including everything from paper, the paint, to even super hero capes. Each pack costs about $10 dollars a piece, so far they're raised enough to buy and hand out 900, but the goal is to raise enough to distribute 1,300.
Art Feeds founder Meg Bourne Hulsey says she wants to help out in Oklahoma any way she can.
"We learned so much after the disaster here on how to reach the kids how to help them heal, out of a hundred percent of students who have under gone trauma seventy percent can obtain mental and emotional wellness if they're expressing themselves consistently and we've offered that to kids here we've seen them grow we're still helping kids and so we just want to offer that to those children in Moore" says Meg Bourne Hulsey.
The group plans on distributing the rest of the packs during the kids summer school.

Great place to stay. Loved the view!
Didn't care for the resort fee. Just include it in the price of the hotel.
No complementary breakfast nor do they give water to drink.
- Free entrance to the tower. - Free Wifi.
- Its location is not the best (a little retired from the Strip), but we know it when we booked this hotel).
I liked everything, the registration personnel were very nice and helpful.
Basically nothing.
room is not clean and comfort.
The apartment was huge and luxurious, the WI-Fi was good, the view from windows marvelous
Segítőkész személyzet Van medence Jó a bár és a játékterem Élő zene a casino-ban
A garázsra nézett a szoba Egész nap és éjszaka a hatalmas légkondik zúgását kellett hallgatni
The bed was comfortable
The water splash up ever time the toilet flushed
The staff was unfriendly and quite impolite. The hotel lacked some basic amenities. Room service was really bad...
Top of the world rest was amazing and the level 107 lounge. Room was very comfy.
Pool was nice but full of young people and loud music playing. Drinks at pool bar very expensive. Hotel seemed to attract a lot of people who thought everyone wanted to hear there conversation
We had booked a room overlooking the Streep street, but window could not see anything except metal beams
Quiet end of the strip suited us as we had a car to get around. Access to the Tower was great to get a view of Vegas Rooms were quiet even though there were the rides at the hotel
Location, old rooms
the room was clean the view on top of the stratosphere
the location is a little bit far from the strip no shampoo or soap in the room
Good size rooms.
A bit of a walk from the strip. Should have microwaves and fridge in the rooms.
Room was nice, clean
Noise from outside air conditioning. A long walk from anywhere.
The room was big and new. The views from the upper floors.
Location is not perfect. Restaurants and retail are very poor.
Decent Internet speed for uploading photos (work). Nice room, though the windows are kind of small and my view was of the parking structure and massive A/C units.
Resort fee basically doubled cost of room. Bit of a hike from parking structure to hotel registration.
Check in was quick and friendly
Hotel is getting old
Clean Casino A lot of fun things to do Skydiving from the 108 floor (unbelievable) Free access to the top of the building Bus stop right in front of the hotel Good bed A lot of places to eat Nice view of the mountains (tower deluxe room 19f ap118).
It is located at the end of the strip. The bathroom seems a little old.
The view, and the Room was pretty good.
The line to check in and out. also we try using the Wi-Fi and we could not log in, the send a person to work on it at 11:45pm to our room, the tech could not fix it, he made a call to front desk and told them that it was the same thing as the other day and to call the cable company, the tech said to keep trying in an hour :( . then later the front desk said that if it was ok to send a tech to the room at 2:00am, or to set a time in the morning, I told the operator that we are checking out in the morning and to forge it :( .
The room was big, with comfortable beds. You can go to the pool or see the Las vegas panorama from the hotel tower (free for the hotel's guests).
The hotel is a little far from the other attraction points on Las vegas av. There is not refrigerator in the room.
services it was last minute booking, so the price and value balance was excellent
poor room (but it was a very very cheap last minute booking, so value and price was perferct)
Excellent value for money. The staff were really accommodating and helpful for the duration of our stay. The view from the top of the Stratosphere is awesome and hotel guests get free entry. Buffet was good value compared to other resorts in Las Vegas and offered great food options for the whole family.
We had a room quite near the pool which meant there was quite heavy traffic past our room.

Die ca. 4000m² große Anlage wurde 2006 eröffnet. Der Garten ist ein Geschenk der Stadt Seoul an Berlin. Die Gartengestaltung erfolgte durch eigens dafür eingeflogene Fachkräfte aus Korea. Hier wachsen Kiefern, Bambus, Eichen und Fächerahorn.
Garden of the World Berlin
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Conservative Group's Twitter Account Blocked, Liberal 'Flag Spam' at Work Again?
By Matthew Sheffield | April 26, 2012 | 08:50
Twitter is blaming an automated spam filter for the multi-hour shutdown of a conservative activist group's Twitter feed on Earth Day, just as the organization was seeing a surge in interest on Twitter and the web for its scathing video critical of the Obama administration.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Twitter has blamed technology for silencing a conservative activist group on Twitter.
Here's what happened on Earth Day, involving Americans for Limited Government and a video entitled "If I Wanted America to Fail," as reported by ALG's Adam Bitely:
"[F]or some strange reason, Twitter silenced the official account for the new Americans for Limited Government project Free Market America. The account, @FreeMarket_US, went live a few days before Earth Day and was slowly picking up steam. On Earth Day, the official website for Free Market America was launched and its Facebook and Twitter components started to come to life as well. The first video put out by Free Market America, 'If I wanted America to fail,' got over 120,000 hits in less than 36 hours! But you would never know that if you tried to follow the Twitter page — it was suspended by Twitter midway through the day on Earth Day!
"After numerous attempts to contact Twitter and see what the story was behind the suspension, ALG launched a Twitter campaign against Twitter. Urging all of our followers to contact @twitter to ask why the Free Market America site has been suspended, thousands came to our defense. Led by Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) who tweeted to her more than 270,000 followers multiple times, and wrote a story on the suspension, Twitter exploded with demands for an answer from the company for suspending the account. Many other notables jumped into the fray including Fox News' Eric Bolling (@ericbolling), talk radio host Neal Boortz (@talkmaster), and Glenn Beck's The Blaze. Finally, at 10:46 pm, the @freemarket_us twitter account was restored with an explanation that for some unknown reason the account had been caught up in Twitter's automated spam filter."
And that's probably what happened. But that doesn't mean Twitter is totally "off the hook" on the question of whether the social media company is biased against conservatives.
Last year, Twitter shut down the Twitter account of Empower Texans, a grassroots conservative organization - and the Twitter account of every single employee of the grassroots conservative organization. The accounts were later reinstated - after The Drudge Report picked up the story and asked, "Is Twitter silencing Austin conservatives?"
Was Twitter trying to silence the organization because of its politics?
Probably not.
The more likely explanation - in both the Empower Texans case and in the ALG case - is that liberal groups targeted the conservative groups with a coordinated attack designed to label their Twitter accounts as "spam" accounts. "Flag spam" - activists flagging the social media accounts of political oppents as "spam" in order to get their accounts suspended - has been a problem since before the rise of Twitter and Facebook to their current dominant positions in online media.
Liberal activists used the tactic for several years.
Because of the proliferation of fake blogs, spam comments and phony videos, many interactive sites have added mechanisms to prevent a group discussion from being hijacked by allowing regular readers to "flag" things they come across that are offensive, obviously spam or violate copyright laws. After enough complaints about a particular piece of content are raised, the "flagged" video or comment is removed from circulation and placed into a review system in which a pre-selected group of people review it and decide whether the reports are correct. If the complaints are judged incorrect, the content is restored to the Internet. If not, it is kept out of public view.
It makes sense for Web sites to do this: They have the right to ensure that their sites aren't turned into free advertisements for unsavory companies, after all. What is harder to support, however, is that many Web sites' flagging systems are themselves becoming targets of abuse - by malicious individuals intent on consigning the free speech of others behind the moderation firewall.
The abuse of social media sites' spam flagging mechanisms appears to be a favorite tool of liberal activists, as it is mostly conservatives like Empower Texans and ALG that are victimized.
On YouTube, dozens of pro-life videos have been marked as "offensive" or containing "mature content," usually without any merit whatsoever. In many cases, complaints of the video producers have fallen on deaf ears. And in 2008, extreme liberals supporting Barack Obama managed to get a series of blog supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination wrongly labeled as spam and taken down.
Twitter owes ALG more than a lame excuse blaming some automated spam filter. It should provide ALG with specifics - if not who complained, at least how many complaints were filed over what period of time.
Until Twitter provides that kind of transparency about these cases, conservative activists can't be blamed for wondering if Twitter's process for identifying and suspending spam accounts is truly fair, or in some way, intentionally or not, rigged against conservatives on Twitter.
As for the tactic of flagging the opposition's Twitter feeds, YouTube videos and such as "spam," the Left should try to win the political arguments of the day on the merits, rather than resorting to sleazy tricks to try to muzzle, silence or remove the opposition from the conversation. Until they do that, social media platforms like Twitter owe conservatives and the American people an extra measure of effort to make sure such "flag spam" assaults on speech are no longer effective.

Newsbusters is moving to a comment provider that prefers it's users to log-in through other social media sites like Twitter and Facebook that are commonly cited for wrongly blocking conservative users.
The vast majority of social media have a guilty until proven innocent stand on blocking a user or content. And that really seems to be implemented when the alleged offender in expressing conservative viewpoints rather than liberal viewpoints.

If you want an honest government:

2) Repeal the 17th Amendment. Give the selection of Senators back to the state legislatures, with the addition of term limits and the right of recall by the state Governor, the state legislature, and plebiscite.
3) Remove the pay of federal legislators and staff from the federal domain. The state sending these people to Congress should be paying 'em.

#6 Automated spam filter?
Submitted by iamsaved on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 9:18am.
As with anything automated, it has to be programmed. Only conservative sites are "filtered"? Give me a break. If the filter had gone haywire, it wouldn't have been so selective. Either Twitter knowingly instituted it or their security has gaping holes in it. Since it's happened before, I suspect it's the former.
Now that Newsbusters is moving to another server that is linked for password authentication to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and Yahoo - organizations that are headed by known liberals who on occasion "accidentally" block conservative commentary or redirect you from them with their search engines - makes you feel as if it's a "if you can't beat them, join them" mentality. It's sort of like the United States contracting with China to build our military equipment.
The "automatic filter" excuse by Twitter that is the topic of this blog post should be of concern to MRC.

#9 Disqus problems you might not be aware of
Submitted by David Kramer on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 5:59am.
Disqus has a huge flaw that I have talked with them about. You can get a huge number of accounts and spam to your hearts content. There is one such loon right now attacking every single article that Drudge has linked critical of Obama. It is a new form of troll that has not been given a name yet. The person created a site that is completely insane with conspiracy theories that are off the wall. All this person does is continually comment on the high ranking comments about the insane blog. Maybe people here have seen this commenter-
David Krammer
If you notice, the spammer has even taken a form of my name, stole my avatar. Disqus will NOT cancel the account and leaves it to the website that uses their service. I do not know if Disqus even allows you to IP ban commenters, you best be ready for spammers. They will make your comment sections a mess on purpose. The left uses every technique they can develop to control the narrative. Just a little warning.

Submitted by ArcherB on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 9:32am.
I understand how these filters work and it is easy to abuse. However, it's just as easy to stop the abuse. For example, it would not be that big of an issue for Twitter to pop up a message explaining that falsely flagging a message will result in a suspension your account, and then, when it's found that spam abuse had occurred, ACTUALLY SUSPEND EVERYONE THAT CLICKED THE SPAM BUTTON.
Problem solved.
As to why they won't do this, I don't know. It won't be long before everything that takes a stand that some group does not like will get targeted and sites like Twitter will have to take action eventually.

This is another example of a policy of deliberate censorship on the part of 'progressive liberal socialists'. They cannot tolerate dissent or independent thought, thus they use every dirty trick imaginable to silence all voices that may even question their policies or the greater agenda.

There's a relatively simple solution.
Track the users who are flagging things as spam. If a site is taken offline for review, the review should determine if those flagging it had "just cause" or not. If not, after 3 of these "events", the privilege of "flagging as spam" is revoked for a period of time.

I'm pretty sure the O-bots got me banned from Twitter only two weeks after I opened my account through a coordinated flagging campaign. Luckily I wrote to Twitter and told them that nothing about my account violates TOS and after a month it was reinstated. If you go to @TheOxyCon you'll see why the O-Bots tried to silence me...lol!

Anyone that is planning on using twitter, or anything google (like youtube), to disseminate non-socialist information should not be surprised when the plug is pulled.
These companies have socialist agendas and they do impose their beliefs.
Which is why they both have found ways to nicely integrate with the communist chinese government wishes.

A 21-year-old man charged with firing eight shots into a Tacoma townhouse filled with children was arrested early Friday.
A warrant was issued Monday for Odel Stephens after he failed to appear in court. He is charged with drive-by shooting, unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a stolen firearm for the Sept. 3 incident.
No one was injured in the shooting, which took place in the 4100 block of East T Street. Inside the home were a woman, her three children ages 15, 18 and 19 and two kids.
Witnesses called 911 after seeing a passenger in a Camaro lean out the car window and fire several rounds into the townhouse. The victim said she didnt know why their home was targeted.
Officers found the Camaro nearby with Stephens in the passenger seat and his cousin, Shannon Roberts Jr., behind the wheel.
Stephens told police hed been in the parking lot of a nearby convenience store when he was shot at, fled and called Roberts for a ride.
He couldnt explain the empty .45 caliber pistol magazine in his pants pocket or the stolen gun in the backseat, according to charging papers.
Roberts is also charged with drive-by shooting and possession of a stolen firearm.

(CNET) -- A laptop stolen from NASA last year contained command codes used to control the International Space Station, an internal investigation has found.
The laptop, which was not encrypted, was among dozens of mobile devices lost or stolen in recent years that contained sensitive information, the space agency's inspector general told Congress today in testimony highlighting NASA's security challenges.
"The March 2011 theft of an unencrypted NASA notebook computer resulted in the loss of the algorithms used to command and control the International Space Station," NASA Inspector General Paul K. Martin said in written testimony (PDF). Another laptop contained sensitive information on the NASA's Constellation and Orion programs, as well as Social Security numbers, he said.
Some 48 agency devices were ether lost or stolen between April 2009 and April 2011, resulting in the unauthorized release of sensitive information such as personally identifiable information, third-party intellectual property, and export-controlled data. During 2010 and 2011, NASA experienced 5,408 computer security incidents that resulted in unauthorized access to systems or the installation of unauthorized software, costing the agency an estimated $7 million.
However, because the reporting system is voluntary, these numbers may not represent the full extent of the security threat, Martin said.
"NASA cannot consistently measure the amount of sensitive data exposed when employee notebooks are lost or stolen because the agency relies on employees to self-report regarding the lost data rather than determining what was stored on the devices by reviewing backup files," he said.
Martin said in 2011 the agency was the target of 47 cyberattacks known as advanced persistent threats (APTs), which are executed by well-resourced individuals or groups intent on stealing or modifying information without being detected.
Of those attacks, 13 successfully compromised agency computers, Martin said. One such intrusion resulted in the theft of user credentials for more than 150 NASA employees that could have been used to gain access to agency computer systems.
Another such attack, which is the subject of an ongoing investigation, targeted the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Intruders using China-based IP addresses "gained full access to key JPL systems and sensitive user accounts," Martin said.
Martin paints a discouraging picture of the state of security at the agency, pointing out that while the government-wide rate of mandated encryption was 54 percent, only 1 percent of NASA portable devices have been encrypted.
"Until NASA fully implements an agency-wide data encryption solution, sensitive data on its mobile computing and portable data storage devices will remain at high risk for loss or theft," Martin said.
