You're dating yourself, Hugh.  Those were the good old days, indeed.

I started today adding a couple of red alert words with explanation that they would trigger unwanted guests.  Please come visit my blog.

How about, Dean, that they are mad - I mean, clinically insane with power?

I just read the article, and having read such "lists" and "proclamations" before, it never fails to smack my sensibilities to read some of these lists, and to realize that they're SERIOUS and that they "work" for us. Some of the words and phrases I can understand the concern, but like the author of the article said, "Anyone who is seriously considering attacking the United States is not going to be talking about it openly on the internet. The government is either naive or highly incompetent if they think otherwise." IMO, I don't think it's so much of a tool for detecting actual or potential terrorists, as much as it is for weeding out STUPID, or just sub-average intelligence people from our gene pool. Heavy sigh...
