In apparent “retaliation” for the President’s authorization of warrantless wiretaps in order to eavesdrop on conversations between people alleged to have ties to terror, Democrats.com is encouraging its readers to spy …… on the Republican party – and is offering to reimburse readers the costs associated with doing so. I won’t link to the post in question directly from this blog, but you can read all the details about it at Michelle Malkin’s.
Every once in a while, there comes along a troll who seems intent on harassing you no matter how firm you’ve been with them about asking them to stop. They’ll try to somehow get their messages posted at your blog, email you like crazy, and in general make real you-know-whats out of themselves. In fact, just yesterday I had a troll try to ‘educate’ me on what the legal definition of harassment is as if to say that what he was saying to me (and it wasn’t the first time it was said to me by this troll) couldn’t legally be considered harassment.

Right now, I’m having to connect to the Internet via a dial up connection. To make a long story long, I called my phone company on Wednesday to schedule the transfer of my phone line to my new address – with an effective date of January 20th. On Thursday evening when I came home, I noticed I could not connect to the Internet – I reset my DSL modem several times, and when I would try to pull up my browser, the Earthlink diagnostics page would come up the spot where it tested the connection to the carrier was coming up “failed”. So I picked up my phone to see if I had a dial tone. I didn’t. I called my phone company on my cell phone to find out what the problem was and come to find out, the lady who had set up my transfer for the 20th neglected to change the disconnect date from it’s default of the 5th to the 20th. So my phone was disconnected on Thursday.
