? My security software is showing that as a known fraudulent website.

Obviously anything to do with Cameron's wisdom has GOT to be fraudulent, but is there anything else going on?

I've reported it as a false positive. Let's see if the Branson empire listens.

It is one of the big problems with internet filtering software, either it is produced by right wing conservative religious organisations, or they see their customers as primarily conservative organisations. Because of that the lists of filtered websites tend to be more left leaning. Unless the person running the hardware and software has an interest and the time, then it does tend to get installed as-is

That's weird. Over here, the public libraries are the last bastion of freedom of speech. You can look at anything with a library account (except XXX stuff). The homeless guys spend most of their days in there researching various conspiracy theories.

The geography of the homeless in Colorado Springs is interesting. The old Catholic church is in the  middle of town, so that's where the Catholic Charities office is. They organize the soup kitchen, which is across the street in one direction, next to the old formal city garden--now the central homeless camp. Across the street in the other direction is the public library, where anybody can go during the day to sit in an easy chair and read the newspaper--or log on and do Internet research.

Soup kitchen:

I wish Americans paid more attention to British politics.  You may be 6-8 years ahead of us.  Your suppose-to-be liberal govt. (NULAB?) did not deliver as expected (Obama anyone?) and now you're going back to the more wealthy idiots to make things better?  Looks like Palin to me.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Palin, schmalin! She doesn't have a prayer on the national stage.

However, if the evangelical nutjobs would let go of their queasiness about Romney, Obama could be in big trouble next time around.

Here in Colorado, the Republican party bigwigs "convinced" (broken kneecaps in evidence) one of the potential candidates for governor next time around to drop out of the primary. This allows their selected candidate to stay closer to the center. But another whacko has come out of the woodwork with threats to take the primary over to the libertarian-anarchist right wing.

...a modern Republican needs to pass various ideological purity tests, such as proclaiming his pro-life credentials while insinuating that people who can't afford health insurance might as well just die. Or leading chants of "Drill, baby, drill" even when the topic is oil shale, which is not produced by drilling. For a few while, I thought McInnis had avoided this problem after various GOP financiers and heavyweights paid a visit to his main challenger for the nomination, Josh Penry, a state senator from Grand Junction and a former staffer for McInnis. Thus McInnis would have the nomination without having to promise state subsidies for the poor, beleaguered gas-drilling industry, or declaring it a financial necessary to close every public college and university except Mesa State.

However, there is still another announced Republican candidate, Evergreen businessman Don Maes. On Dec. 12, he appeared at a "Defend the Republic" rally of Tea Party types on the state Capitol steps, telling them, "It's time to find a candidate you believe in."

Palin will bring the same problem to whomever the Republican party tries to anoint asatheir presidential candidate...

Really?  Was he too far to the left (gasp!) or what?
