My new computer came with all sorts of software pre-installed, mostly designed to save me—kind of like liberal governments think they are there to save me and you and all of us. They were setup to load automatically as I start up my computer, and each one makes a huge splash on my screen like it’s the most important thing in my life. Again like the liberals. They all sound extremely promising and make grand promises… if only I allow this one extra program to be installed at a cost of $___ per month. They’re nearly impossible to turn off, and each one demands that I register (providing all sorts of information so they can come and get me later), and that I pay some more cash to continue the “service”, and they all keep advising me of all sorts of things I already know.
Therefore, half my vital-to-me-and-my-career incoming email disappeared or was shunted to a blocked spam list — automatically —where it couldn’t hurt me. Admin email messages from “ProudToBeCanadian.ca” were labeled as “spam” and shielded from my tender eyes. Most of you and your emails were designated as spam too —perhaps because your emails included the word “Christian” or “conservative” or “Canadian” or “Christmas” or “Coulter” or (worst-case scenario) all those “C”-words together in one giant email from hell. One was inexplicably labeled as spam for no apparent reason that I can see other than the fact that it contained Ann Coulter’s name in it (in the attached explanation it was explained that it “looked like spam”).
You tell me! Here’s the email:

Columnist Coulter in hot water over voting
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP)—Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation into whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will probably be turned over to prosecutors, Palm Beach County’s elections chief said Wednesday.
Elections Supervisor Arthur Anderson said his office has been looking into the matter for nearly nine months, and he would turn over the case to the state attorney’s office by Friday.
Coulter’s attorney did not immediately return a call Wednesday. Nor did her publicist at her publisher, Crown Publishing.
Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Anderson’s office received a complaint in February that Coulter voted in the wrong precinct during a February 7 Palm Beach town council election.
Anderson said a letter was sent to Coulter on March 27 requesting that she clarify her address for the voting records “or face the possibility of her voter registration being rescinded.” Three more letters were sent to Coulter and her attorney, but she has yet to respond with the information requested, Anderson said.
In July, Anderson said, he received a letter from Coulter’s attorney, Marcos Daniel Jimenez D’Clouet. The letter said the attorney would only discuss the matter in person or by telephone because, he complained, Anderson had given details to the media. Anderson said the matter had to be discussed in writing.
The right-wing commentator also authored a book that said some September 11 widows were “enjoying their husbands’ deaths.”
And so I spent a few minutes bitching about these programs and their specious promises, then whole whacks of time trying to reconfigure them, then reconfiguring them some more —then finally “uninstalling” the programs and deeming them as a useless waste of my time and money and hindering my progress. This I also see as being much like me and liberal governments. And it’s the only time I support abortion.
Thank you.
