Strange spam for sleeping pills and Propecia

Ok then, here is the bizarre spam that fills up old stories. They started posting this garbage on my birthday!!

On the other hand, maybe it is all a joke played on me...

So here is the spam, preserved for all time, but stripped of its links. My favorite:
"Buying propecia online is easy. keeping your hair is going to help you get laid."

What can I say? It's weird.

UPDATE:Seems that this thread really attracts the spam. I will leave the barnacles as a record of techno garbage, but close the thread...

Cialis is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are used to treat cases of male impotence. Remember Cialis is approved in authorized markets for the treatment of mild to severe Erectile Dysfunction at both 10 and 20 mg Cialis doses. Cialis should be taken prior to anticipated sexual activity and without regard to food. Just like Viagra, sexual stimulation is needed for Cialis to work.

Fact is, when taken correctly, Viagra works for most men. Studies show that it works for up to 4 out of 5 men (versus 1 out of 4 on sugar pill). you can Buy Viagra to improve erections in most cases no matter how long you have had ED, what caused it, how often they have it, or how old they are. And Viagra has been proven to work in clinical studies of thousands of men.

HongPong.com gets a visitor from Iraq, and lots of spam

Since I've been off on my little Civ III vacation, the site got a few comments. Unfortunately, these days there are computer spiders that go all over blogs like mine to place advertisements for sex and drugs in old comment threads. These spam ads are inserted not so that people see them immediately, but so that search engines like Google will associate the search term of, say, 'phentermine,' with the shady website selling prescription drugs.

I delete these annoying messages but they keep coming. I have a partial solution: ban the IP number that they come from. Unfortunately, these guys must have multiple computers or proxies. It is annoying, but fortunately there are only about 2 or 3 a week.

The other solution is to turn off the commenting of old posts, since most of the spam is hidden there. However, that would prevent people from adding useful comments to old posts.

Now, I don't get many real comments, but the last one I got was very interesting, attached to an old post about looking around Iraqi blogs. On May 20, someone somehow reached the page and wrote:

I sent an email to Asmar last night, and indeed, here is a link to "Picture of Baghdad." It's pretty cool.

Right now there is a photo of a classic ancient ziggurat and various other Babylonian things of Iraq, along with photos of Baghdad, American occupation troops, shrines and mosques, "flowers from our garden," neighborhoods, a column of smoke from the assassination of the IGC leader, a woman named Faiza in a shop, and an awesome minaret in the ancient city of Samarra that looks like the tower of Babel.

There are some pictures from Baghdad in the 1980s, along with snaps of various Baghdad buildings, and the . There are also photos by Faiza and Raed "in the middle" Jarrar.

Who'll stop the rain?

Unexpectedly I went to the Timberwolves playoff game on Friday. It was fun as hell. They were winning in much of the first half, but it is hard as hell to get rebounds with Shaq around the basket.

I've been lying low this week, trying not to get too psyched out about the news of new photographs, war around the holy Shiite shrines, the wretched border cases in Rafah and along the Syrian border. What does it mean if Chalabi's intelligence was mainly a front for Iranian schemers?

Was the Pentagon that foolish? The answer seems to be that some agencies, such as the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency, knew that the guy who talked about mobile bio-weapons labs was a liar, but somehow that sanity check got blocked by someone else in the Pentagon. The State Department and CIA certainly were never big into the Chalabi fantasy.

Chalabi's people were the ones who provided the lurid wallpaper of fear that surrounded us in the leadup to war. The hawks bought the silly garbage because they needed it to justify the unreal, hellish nightmare that has unfolded. They needed the false intelligence to fabricate fear in the public mind.

I have been taking a lot of walks, exercising, and I went to see Troy next door. That inspired me to play Civilization III like mad, a retreat that I felt I deserved for a few days while these storms blow over. Also I have started doing some part time website work this past week, but that is not really quite enough labor to keep me going this summer.

Finally, David's artwork for our wall came in. It is about damn time and maybe I will put up a couple photos of the drawings, which are made of chalk, ink, colored pens and pencils, all around some good stuff.

I will try to put together some of the new information, but my God it is hard to figure out which way things are spinning right now. One of the key questions is how fanatics like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson view this stuff. I found an interesting story in the Village Voice about 'theocratic' advice in Washington....

Also I haven't forgotten to explain the story of the lawn chair from hell, as an example of weird patterns, rather than a conspiracy. More later, ever later...... The story continues, whether I like it or not. I will have to go back into trying to deal with it, before it deals with me.
