Thanks to all who sent in comments. As had another 'spam' included have now ticked the verification box to see if it helps. Not that I could read the comment, as it was written in an unknown language, possibly Russian or Polish? Anyone care to translate? Picking up Kathryn's comment the most recent spam that arrived with the overnight bundle read early yesterday was sent via the posting titled The...

Well, that’s not quite true – a picture we took of Andy and Vashti Bedwell is in the Times today (Saturday). Our stuff appears in all sorts of magazines and publications (we had notice from Dorling Kindersley this week that three more of our images have been published in their books) but when you can walk [...]

Hospitals and clinics are required to post public notices informing people about their policies on charity care and financial discounts for care. A study conducted in 2008 shows almost no one in Galveston County was complying with the law. Let’s say a drug costs $10 a dose. Patients might be charged $30, $20 or $5, depending on their insurance, as the hospital passes on charges to make up for...

I have to give this guy a pass for misspelling hemorrhoids only because he managed to pull off hemorrhaging. This person, on the other hand, gets no such pass for misspelling hypocrisy. Signs spotted on Huffington Post.

Let's give the sign a little perspective: Add to that the excuses, rationales, and outright cognitive dissonance among Dems/Lefties/"Progressives over last Tuesday's election events. Yet these Rocket Scientists expect the public to stand still for the rape and pillage inflicted by their health care "reform", and Cap 'n Trade monstrosities. Exactly how stupid ARE these people?

Chet Faliszek, one of Valve’s writers and the Left 4 Dead 2 project lead, recently spoke to CVG about the fallout from the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott ( which recently ended ) and what affect it’s had on projected sales of the game, if any: “As we get closer to launch we see the reaction to the demo,” said Faliszek, “pre-orders are four times what Left 4 Dead 1 was, people’s...
