You're not the first that has happened to. I would gladly scrap the captcha (security) code if i had a spam-blocking measure for WordPress 1.22 that was as effective (i'm using several in addition to the catpcha). There is one plugin that requires commenters to self-authorize their comments by email... i think that's a pain so i avoided it. Anyhow feel free to <a href="http://www.newsdissector.org/blog/contact.php?webmaster">contact me</a> if you have a suggestion. Ewww, sorry about that Jon! You’re not the first that has happened to.

THIS post will no doubt be accepted without a glitch.

These congressional clerics demonstrate daily their distain for democracy and the idea that there should be rules protecting a loyal oppositions right to debate. We're talking about lifetime appointments to the Federal Appeals courts, one step below the Supreme Court, we're also talking about six appointees each of whom has either gotten poor marks for state bar associations or has demonstrated extreme personal bias on environmental, worker, or civil rights. First we have Cornyn making veiled threats that activist judges might be bringing violence upon themselves. Then we get Frist pretending that anyone who opposes these court nominees is against God. This has got to stop! This is theocracy in action!

He should be able to give whatever tireless energy he has to this worthy day. I had met Mr. Mandella twice and Desmond Tutu once in Chicago for Oprah tapings, which I was a staffer. This country needs more attention not only from us but from the rest of the world. They have come so far and yet have a long way to go. Cant we not turn away from American Idol and focus on great countries like South Africe???
