Obama uses Poor Grammar

I was really annoyed last night with Barack Obama. I just can't believe that somebody who is supposed to be such a great speaker doesn't know simple grammar. He was speaking about John Edwards and used the phrases "with him and I" and "with Senator Edwards and I". It should be "me" not "I". He was using a prepositional phrase! Barack Obama needs to go back to middle school English class! 

Telemarketers Suck!

I have had it well telemarketers. I just moved and it seems as though every telemarketer in the world got our new number. Our old number was on the Do not call list. I think I got 10 different calls today alone.

Sex and Swingers on Oprah

A couple week ago Oprah did a show about sex in the suburbs. I caught the last half hour or so of the show. The first segment I saw was about women cheating on their husbands. As if that wasn't bad enough the ending segment was about swingers.

I really don't care what 2 or 4 consenting adults choose to do in their bedrooms or where ever else they choose to do it. What really upset me is that one of the couples who came on the show had three teenage children at home. Being a teen is hard enough kids don't need their parents going in front of millions of viewers talking about their sex life.

Come on people get a clue!!

Squeeze Pages

I really don't like Squeeze Pages! I'm sure most people don't know what the term Squeeze Page refers to. Well they are pages where people make you give them your email address in order to proceed to the rest of the site. When I see them I go the other way. Or sometimes when I am a bit curious I give them an email address which I almost never check and use for use for "spam". People who use Squeeze Pages claim they are getting a lot of subscribers. I wonder if those subscriber ever return to their site though...

Sharing My Email address!

One thing that has really been upsetting me lately is when people send email to me and about 25 other people. These people for what ever reason choose to disclose my email address to these people most of whom I don't even know. If people do not know how to send using the BCC or undisclosed recipient option they should not be sending email at all.

Spamhaus does make mistakes

I hate spammers just as much as the next person. Yes, I am happy that there are news laws in place that try to protect people from spam. I also think that technology and organizations who try to stop spam are wonderful. However, I do get quite annoyed when I don't receive email or email that shouldn't go in my spam or junk folder goes there. I can handle that though.

What really got me is when I found out email from a domain name that I own had been black listed by Spamhaus. Luckily for me some of the email addresses that rejected these messages sent me a reply notifying me about this. I was wondering why my domain name had been blacklisted since I do not send spam.

It had nothing to do with anything I had done but my domain shared the same IP address with somebody who had sent spam. According to Spamhaus there was really nothing I could do on my end but contact my web hosting company. My web hosting company isn't too sure what the problem is since the email itself wasn't even sent though their server but instead the text of the email mentioned the domain that shared this IP address. This is the spam report in question.

I guess I am not the only person who has been affected by the mistakes on Spamhaus. While trying to research is I ran ac cross an interesting article called Those Spamhaus Bastards. I'm sure there are plenty of other Spamhaus victims who don't even know they have been affect by the mistakes of Spamhaus yet. I just really hope my issue gets cleared up soon!!!!

Katrina Scams!!!!

I am so upset to hear about people running Hurricane Katrina Internet Scams! I'm sad to say that I am not surprised by this though. It's one thing to try and scam regular every day people using the Internet but taking money from these people is also taking it away from the Hurricane Katrina Victims. These people running these scams are lower than low. They belong in prison with the murderers and child molesters.

Tom Cruise is Nuts

Ok, it's been a while since I posted a about Tom Cruise. Since I came accross this great website called Tom Cruise is Nuts I thought it was about time. It's too bad I didn't jump at the chance to build such a site. I guess it's better that I don't focus too much energy on Tom Cruise. It's great to know that others feel the same way as I do though...

War of the Worlds / Tom Cruise Boycott

Another day and yet another entry about Tom Cruise. Don't worry Big Brother 6 starts next week so I will have something else to obsess about then. Until then I will probably continue to rant about Tom Cruise. There at least 5166 people who have similar feeling as I do and one of the started a an online Petition against Tom Cruise. It should go with out saying that I signed it but have you?

Please put a Muzzle on Him

Somebody please put a muzzle on Tom Cruise! Why oh why does the media keep giving him air time. I know I'm not the only person who feels this way! Read some of the Comments at Blog Critics. The post Tom Cruise: Still Smiling Still Babbling, Psychiatrists Strike Back. Maybe if we all ban together we can have him committed and muzzled!!!
