Kool, it appears you've been spotted by the FBI's software called "Carnivore,"
which has been in use for some time examining keywords in emails and "delaying"
them until they can be read by a human and deemed "fit to pass on."  Consider
yourself marked.  I had this start happening apparently a week or so after the
11th, and about 50 emails arrived late, getting here in early October, some as
much as two weeks old and ALL having some mention of something political and/or
having to do with terrorism.

I'm outraged by this; and yet, I haven't a fucking clue as to what *I* can do
about it.  This is utter bullshit, but I've decided to let them waste their time
with my stuff, because it's simply an idiotic waste of their time and MY money.  I
say, piss on 'em, and hava nice day.  After a while, someone should come to their
senses and realize that plainly worded criticism is what makes this country great,
and they'll soon find a better use of their time and MY money.  If they don't, in
a couple of years, we should be able to rid ourselves of this moronic Republican
"majority" for at least the next few decades...  ;)  Notice how quickly the
Republican witchhunt switched from Clinton to Gary Condit to all of us?  Fucking
idiots.
