Your comment actually made me wonder something....
I wonder if names become "off limits" once someone uses it but gets banned; or if similar names are forbidden by "the program" (or programmer).
You don't see too many similar names, etc. I've been registered here so long, I never had to deal with it.

You need to have thought about it carefully. Most people have their name on a post-it noite stuck to their computer screen, waiting for the day...
Registration is still open, so you can always now quickly come up with a better name, register that, and then say you want "JacksonTn" deleted. Maybe?

Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47, the head of the Indian operations of Graziano Transmissioni, an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of car parts, died of severe head wounds on Monday afternoon after being attacked by scores of laid-off employees, police said.
The incident, in Greater Noida, just outside the Indian capital, followed a long-running dispute between the factory's management and workers who had demanded better pay and permanent contracts.

3. All paragraphs referring to Sarah Palin must include the word 'lipstick.'

re: #188 Stinky Beaumont
A sweet little database query that uses a temporary table to find new hatchlings with duplicate IP addresses. (A no-no.)
CREATE TABLE tmp
SELECT COUNT(*) AS count, ip
FROM users
WHERE created >= '2008-09-23'
GROUP BY ip HAVING count > 1;
SELECT users.*
FROM tmp, users
WHERE tmp.ip = users.ip
AND users.created >= '2008-09-23'
ORDER BY users.ip, users.name
This should do roughly the same. Did a quick test but I don't have the user table.
SELECT u.name, COUNT(u.ip) AS count, u.ip
FROM users u, users u2
WHERE u.created >= '2008-09-23'

re: #362 The Pulchritudinous Patriot
I'm tellin ya'll, there is an Eagleton maneuver in the works...watch Biden really f'up at the debate.
Everyone is talking about Obama dumping Biden, but I just don't see it.
Obama has a VERY hard time admitting mistakes.
Apart from the obvious show of indecisiveness (and bad vetting), Biden is concurrently running for re-election in the Senate, and if he drops out for "health" reasons, he'd put his Senate seat in jeopardy. Why would he want to do that?
Plus Obama and his campaign are nothing, if not arrogant. He's ahead in the polls right now. So why change things?
Lastly, if the ship is sinking so fast that Obama feels the need to toss Biden over the side, why the hell would Hilary Clinton then want to jump onboard? At best, she'd be playing second fiddle to Obama (who could toss her as easily as he tossed Biden). At worst, she'd go down with him, tarring her prospects for a future run.

I don't have a cell phone. No 3 am texts for me. I opened it and it's not even my name! Here's Michelle. Hey, do you suppose there's some way we could infiltrate the Debate Parties? Conservative trolls!
"Joan--
This Friday, we'll reach another milestone in this campaign -- the first debate
of the general election, on September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Millions of Americans will tune in to watch Barack debate John McCain about
America's foreign policy and our role in the world. Barack will share his plan to bring the change we need -- to restore our place in the world, ensure security at home and abroad, and reestablish the United States as the world's economic leader. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the issues. And it's also a great opportunity for you to share Barack's message of change with your friends, family, and neighbors by attending or hosting a Debate Watch Party. Watch the debate with friends and supporters, and talk about how you can get involved in this movement.
I recorded a brief message about these parties. Please take a moment to watch the video and sign up to attend or host a Debate Watch Party in your community: [Link: my.barackobama.com...] Many Americans are still learning about Barack and this movement for change. They don't know about his plan to restore the middle class, cut taxes for 95 percent of American families, provide health care for every American, achieve
energy independence, improve our schools, and responsibly end the war in Iraq. Many people also don't know that John McCain has voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time -- including to continue Bush's failed Iraq policies, not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting children's health care, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans, and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class. This debate is a chance for Americans to hear directly from Barack. And with just a few weeks left before Election Day, it's more important than ever that we bring people together and talk about the issues that matter in our communities. I hope you'll watch my short message and sign up to attend or even host a Debate Watch Party: [Link: my.barackobama.com...] Thank you for all that you're doing,
Michelle

Oh Lord, give me strength so I do not throttle the building manager where I work:

Around 1:15 I go to my parking garage only to find one of the ceiling light fixtures violently splashed across my car, yet still attached to live wires from the ceiling (Don't ask me how). Here is the kicker: My building does not own the lot, a parking company owns the lot . . . but, the ceiling and fixtures, are owned by a third party. I told them very nicely in my best courtroom voice that they had better remove the debris from my car in an expedient manner or I will be resorting to self help to remove my car - and the damage to their garage will by much more extensive than currently exists. Oh yeah, and call your fucking insurance company!
I am trying to channel nice thoughts, but . . .

Foxnews.com has a link to Stanley Kurtz's piece in the WSJ on Obama, Ayers and their reeducation camp plans. Nothing on CNN, of course, but if Fox covers something, sooner or later the rest of the media have to mention it. I wouldn't be surprised to see this come up on Brit Hume tonight.
