#1 So folks, no AP stories excerpted here, no linking to them either. Don't feed the beast.

#2 And lawyers wonder why we feel like we would rather kill them all than deal with the messes they create then profit from...

I am getting to be of the opinion that simply being a lawyer should be grounds for a beating on the basis of the amount of waste and stupidity they create.

#3 Bite me, APes.

It's time for some public-spirited zillionaire to buy UPI back from the Moonies and give the APes and Al Reuters some competition.

#4 So who's next? NY Slimes? Does one blackmail payment grant blanket, lifetime immunity to the virus or does it just encourage additional blackmailers and added payments? 'Legal' blackmail is the same as criminal blackmail, in my book, and eventually greedy blackmailers push somebody too far and end up at room temperature.

#5 Fair Use is being destroyed to preserve the old MSM and free speech is being destroyed in the process.

No more AP stories, no more links. Fuck the fascist bastards.

#6 "Don't feed the beast."
