Israel’s Propaganda Machine is Filling the Internet with Misinformation.

Current Affairs: Israel’s Propaganda Machine is Filling the Internet with Misinformation.

Some of the spam over at the blog you slum at gets some pro jew and Israeli puff pieces and it gets the delete bomb every time.

Cederq , Same here, except those trolls have hit my comments in the past and after I mark them as SPAM, they go right to SPAM, not "Pending Comment" so I never see them.

Speaking of SPAM, I only look at that folder 1-2X / year, so I'm due to check any day now. Maybe I'll add that to my weekend "to-do" list and post about it. ;)

The 3 greatest inventions of all time, IMHO:
1) The Wheel
[1.5) The Internal Combustion Engine]
2) The Electric Heating Pad
3) Comment Moderation LOL!
