FireFox + NoScrip = No McCain


I guess there are no political filters for the google ads.

I asked JT and MM the same question and they said that the owner decided that using a picture of a politician isn't the same as arguing politics. I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense because people are super sensitive about politics. People also have pretty atrocious things in their signature line. I guess they just want to continue to poke at one another...

The difference is it is the "In" crowd at TB that does that, so they are allowed to get away with it.

Wow! I never realized that I was in the "In" crowd I'm about one point away from the "Point" of no return.
