Since digital television came to full flower I haven't been able to see "Legend of the Seeker" that Mike H's niece stars in. Has the story been picked up for a continuing season? Will they continue to Seek? Can we all be extras in an upcoming episode entitled "Land of the aging idealists lost?"

"Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible's satanic agents of the Apocalypse."

"Honest. This isn't a joke."

  • Well, so far we have survived the rabid anti-Asian propaganda of WWII, the anti-Communist hysteria of the 1950's, deeply entrenched racist hatreds, anti Jewish religious bigotry from the past several thousand years, several anti-Islam religious pogroms in previous "Dark" ages, and road rage. One brain-damaged zealot with limited functionality (Bush, not Reagan) merely added another century or three of angry memories that governments and religious leaders of the Middle East can keep alive to drive their own hatreds and prejudices. To every thing, churn churn churn...

When the company I was working for went belly up back in 2007 one of the first things I did was to place my updated resume on several national (CareerBuilder, Monster) and local (Cleveland Plain Dealer among others) "job sites". I NEVER received a legitimate contact from any of them. Instead, at least three times a week (some weeks much more often), I received spams, scams and general bullshit. The prevailing scam was an email that mentioned a potential job and quoted a starting salary. A very good starting salary. Though right off the bat this made me suspicious for the first few I went to the "human resources" link in the email to try to see what was what. They were all more or less professional looking sites with good graphics but had one thing in common; the questions they wanted you to fill out. Where have you applied for continuing education loans? Who is your cell provider? Obvious spam bait. I never felt that these job sites were properly called to task for what they were knowingly enabling or that people, mostly desperate job seekers, were warned about what was going on. At long last todays NYT has an article about some of the prevailing con games run by operators who get all their potential victims by trolling "job sites". 'Bout time.
