Slow down the disaster response or you may lose federal funds

PE.com | Inland Southern California | State news:

"But state Office of Emergency Services officials have warned San Francisco that it could lose out on federal money by responding too quickly to the Red Cross' request for help.

"'If any jurisdiction moves forward to make agreements to do things in a disaster period when they have not used the normal process that we have in California, they always take a risk of having expenses that are not eligible (for reimbursement),' Henry Renteria, director of the governor's Office of Emergency Services, said in a news conference Sunday."

Hello again, Mr. Holland. I am glad
to see you have returned to regular
postings. As I may have said before,
I much prefer you to Vox Day and
many of the wingnuts out there.

Alas, of late I see your blog is
becoming the victim of the latest
piece-of-!@#$ net scourge: Blog Spam.
Almost every post has an ad poorly
disguised as a comment. It's bad
enough these bastards killed Usenet
and ruined Email, now they want to
ruin blogs. I often wonder is there
ANYTHING anyone cares about besides
making f*cking money at the expense
of everyone else? I know these slugs
have no conscience, but it still
annoys me. Fred Reed did a couple of
articles on the ubiquity of ads, and
the pollution of the outdoors,
indoors, and even urinals (!) with
stinking ads.

I am afraid you may have to look into some sort of security mechanism
for your blog to stop this crap, sort
of like many sites do with their mailto links.

I have activated the word verification feature for comment posting. This should solve most of the advertising problem.
