Servile masses, arise, arise!

It's good to see my old mate Peter's joined flickr. Careful, lad, it's addictive as tabs.

All my flickr tags are open now - thanks to Apprentice for pointing out that one.

Blew the dust off my MA notes this morning and got on down. After a few hours reading, naturally, a hopelessly addicted blogger, I set up a blog to coordinate links, or as herself would have it, to do almost anything connected with study, without actually studying. Hmm.

Within a few minutes of setting it up, the new blog got a hit by spam posing as comment. I've seen this on other blogs; it's so random, surely it can't hit the target too often?

No seriously, castor-oil plant seeds are deadly: according to Plants for a Future, even one seed has been known to be lethal to children... The seedcoat contains an extremely lethal poison that was once used by the KGB to dispose of their enemies... Indeed. I like that bit about the KGB, because the plant's latin name is ricinus communis.

Usually, I stay off politics, but I'll say this about the solidarity the workers at BA have been showing each other: you'll go down in history, lads and lasses. And watch the union and the management don't stitch you up now. [Credit to the Grauniad for the photo].

Employers, think on this: Kick someone when they're down, and they might just get up and kick you the fuck back.

    IFLH announces Senator David Cain has joined its Board of Directors!!

    IFLH volume trading is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement. The value of this
    stock appears poised for growth! This one should not remain on the ground floor for long.

    BREAKING NEWS!!
    InterFinancial Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: IFLH - News) announced that they have added
    David Cain to their board of directors. David Cain is currently the Chairman of the advisory
    board to TTI (Texas Transportation Institute). Senator Cain represented Senate District 2 for
    eight years in the Texas Senate and Chaired the Senate State Affairs Subcommittee on
    Transportation and served nine terms in the Texas House of Representatives for District 107.

    During his twelve years as Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Senator Cain�s
    efforts on behalf of the people of Texas have been widely recognized. He was named to Texas
    Monthly Magazine�s list of Ten Best Legislators, the Dallas Morning News said he was one of
    the outstanding legislators of the 73rd session, and the Texas Department of Transportation
    awarded him the Russell H. Perry Award in 1995 for his efforts to gain public awareness of
    the need for and benefits of transportation facilities in the State of Texas.

    Jeffrey C. Bruteyn, Managing Director, stated, We at InterFinancial are proud to have such a
    widely recognized Senator join our board and oversee out automotive lending division. His
    affiliations and connections to the automotive industry will be invaluable to our company.
    Senator Cain will be instrumental in expediting our approval to use a government issued Seller
    Finance License.

    Seller Finance Licenses are very difficult to obtain and are usually reserved for the Big Boys
    with heavy lobbyists. These licenses are highly coveted because it allows the finance company
    to collect the entire down payment, instead of paying a portion of it to the taxing authority.
    This dramatically helps a finance company�s bottom line if the buyer defaults on the loan.

    With the new GPS tracking systems being installed on every car to dramatically improve
    repossessions and with Senator Cain on the Board of Directors, InterFinancial Holdings
    is ready to take their business to the next level.

    Conclusion:

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little known Companies
    That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens. This stock will not be a Secret for long.
    Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!

  2. Wow, that wasn't even a lame spam like, "Right on topic, check out my new home hair wax kit here!"

  3. I fear the worst... Cyberspace has found another way to piss me off. Or rather, those who excessively squeeze this medium for cash have found another way to piss me off.

    I noticed, John, you had something similiar. I've only noticed this comment spamming in the last few weeks, on several blogs... Is it new or have I been missing something?
